(12.27) Long, long, long, long delayed Brutus' album "Murwgebeukt" will finally be released Jan 8th 2016. Here's the update from Willowtip Records: "Willowtip is pleased to announce that it will release the long-awaited and much-anticipated new album from Dutch death metal band Brutus. Over 10 years have passed since Brutus' debut album "Slachtbeest" was released and much has happened inside the Brutus camp. As fans of the band already know, the driving force behind Brutus, Maarten "Ploegbaas" Luysterburg, tragically took his own life in 2006. Since then the band has had a hard time coming to grips with the fact that the fuel had gushed from the machine. But after taking some time off, the remaining members of Brutus decided to continue on, building off the blueprint that Ploegbaas started for a new Brutus album. "Murwgebeukt", the band's first release since 2004, is a triumphant feat in death metal, a 54 minute overwhelming force dealing with the life and misery of an entity that is cheated into mortal existence… burdened, afflicted and finally martyred by it. Ploegbaas was fully responsible for the lyrics and artistic concept of "Murwgebeukt". The furious vocals are delivered atop an intense slab of double bass driven death metal of the heaviest kind, grooving its way through one classic riff after another. Ferocious bottom end brutality not easily compared to any other act in the genre. Distilling diversity from monotony. Brutus' "Murwgebeukt" will be released January 8th, 2016 on CD/Digital."

Even though Matt is aptly capable to do so very well, we won’t be doing any of that for any future Cryptopsy albums.” Read more here: http://bravewords.com/features/cryptopsy-if-you-want-to-define-something-as-extreme-then-you-have-to-give-it-boundaries

We've been waiting for the appropriate time to hopefully bring you some good and exciting news but unfortunately the last three years (well, seven years actually) have only been filled with setback, after setback, after setback. At this point we really don't know if we will ever be able to get the new album recorded and released to be honest. We haven't given up though and we still might have one last trick up our sleeves but we really can't give any promises anymore. So we thought it would be best to be straight with you all about this, since we know a lot of people have been wondering what's happening with the new album. So there you have it. Just wish us luck, keep your fingers crossed and keep up the support.".
