Today Brutus make a grand entrance with their new video for Horde II. Retaining their genre defying identity, the track showcases pummelling rhythm, soaring vocals and guitars boasting equal parts of intricate melody and full-throttled power. Horde II is taken from standout debut album Burst which was produced by Jesse Gander (White Lung, Japandroids) and released on Hassle Records (UK) in February, and Sargent House (US) in May.
‘Yes, this is ‘Horde II’. Which means, there is also a ‘Horde’ that appeared on our first 7″ vinyl, self-released in early 2014. Often song-riffs like this are borne out of our guitarist fooling around with ideas at rehearsal while I’m setting up my drums. With ‘Horde’ I felt this amazing vibe hearing Stijn’s ideas, and so when one day Stijn was randomly playing such ideas again I felt this exact same vibe all over again; I knew instantly this was going to be ‘Horde II’.’
