Heavy Metal In Video Games Part 5

For those who missed our previous three articles discussing various games with heavy metal soundtracks, be sure to go back and check 'em out (and let us know if you end up playing or re-playing any of these gems!):
Part 1: the amazing Brutal Legend, Saints Row III, Killing Floor 2, Pain Killer, and Guilty Gear X2 Reload
Part 2: Splatterhouse, Twisted Metal 2, The Witcher's bonus music disc, and Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost And The Damned.
Part 3 (the retro edition!): Rock And Roll Racing, Beavis And Butthead, F-Zero X, Earthbound, and Heavy Metal Geomatrix

Brutai Releases New Video
Propelling their career to new heights since signing to Transcend Music for the release of a debut album, the members of Brutai have now unleashed their second video single for "Never Change," which clearly demonstrates their natural ability to shine - with the help of some UV lights!
This new video was directed by Ben Herbert at Lightspeed Film Co and can be viewed below. Alex Lorimer (vocals/keys) says this about the song and the video: "We're really excited to bring you our latest single 'Never Change'. This song is about the bad traits we possess in life, and the way they can consume you if you don't open up about them. It is about progressing towards a stage where we can open up to others in order to heal and turn a new page." More...
Brutai Posts Bloodstock Footage
Following a successful performance at Bloodstock Festival 2016, Brutai just released some exclusive behind the scenes footage, alongside a live montage synced to the reworked album version of the song "Relapse." Felix Lawrie says this about the track:
"Lyrically, 'Relapse' is about the ongoing battle with addiction. We can all get addicted to something that takes away the pain. Some people have an ongoing fight with this illness everyday - and it is something that has the ability to consume you and deeply affect others around you.
"Addiction can come in many different vices such as alcoholism, drug addiction, gambling, sex, and more. There aren't many known cures for it either; just acceptance, and learning how to deal with it better in your own way. Everyone can relapse but what's important is how we respond to it."
The band also just recently signed to Transcend Music, and new album "Born" will be out on the 25th of November, 2016. More...

Brutai Signs With Transcend Music
Experiencing a steady rise to the forefront of underground metal, modern metal act Brutai has signed to Transcend Music. The
Brutai have begun to plant the seed to their success and the London based quintet are to release their debut full length "Born" on Friday, November 25th, 2016. The record was mixed and mastered by Matt Hyde (Slipknot, Bullet for my Valentine, Fightstar).
Transcend Music had this to say about the signing: “We’re really excited and proud to have Brutai join the Transcend Music family. New blood is vital in our continued work to develop and grow the label, and to carry on showcasing up-and-coming talent to a wider audience. The band are a perfect fit for us and our ethos, and we can’t wait to unleash this album. Brutai are the first in a series of exciting new projects here at Transcend, so you can expect to hear lots more from us in the near future!”
Defying a pop music focused upbringing, and overcoming adversities of mental illness, writer’s block and having witnessed the effects of substance abuse from close family and friends - Brutai is bringing harsh realities to the vanguard of modern metal with the outstanding forthcoming album "Born."
A harmonious blend of modern, progressive and memorable music, this is the debut album fans have been waiting for. Felix Lawrie- Frontman/guitarist says: “The time has come to unleash what we’ve been building for the past year. We’ve come to the point whereby we have the perfect line-up, the perfect team surrounding us, and an album that has our absolute everything, poured into it. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did creating it."
2016 has seen the band go from strength to strength since the release of their catchy comeback single, "Deep" (check it out in the player below). Hereon, the band went on to demonstrate that they could take what they’ve built in the studio - direct to the stage.
More information on "Born" is expected soon. Check out "Deep" for a taste here: More...

Following a recent London live performance and a newly announced tour alongside Devil You Know to take place in January 2017, Brutai today just revealed another track from upcoming debut album "Born."
Check out new song "Of Ashes" below. The artwork for "Born" was designed by Mario Sanchez Nevado and animated (in the video below) by George Redhawk, who is registered legally blind. The band comments:
"George is an artist whose mesmerizing and unique work captured our interest as he recreates his own 'vision' in an animated version of the artwork he likes. All of his work is non profit, but to show our appreciation for his major contribution to our forthcoming album, we'd like to encourage donations to the Wolf Mountain Sanctuary, a cause in which he supports."

We can’t wait to finally be able to give our amazing UK fans the hour-long, full DYK live experience in an intimate setting and these shows are not to be missed.
"The supporting bands for these shows are killer from top to bottom and it’s something that I am going to watch every night as well. It will also be our first time touring in Russia, which is going to be insane.
"We can’t wait to meet you all in what will officially mark the last tour of the They Bleed Red touring cycle. We have so much new music that we are going to turn around a new album to get back out summer of 2017.
"We are also offering VIP ticketing packages at each show, where for only $50 you get a guaranteed group photo with the band, as many autographed items as you like and a free t-shirt of your choice from our merch booth.
