Brat syphons snarky new single ‘Speculum Bleed’

Louisiana metal powerhouse, BRAT, released its new LP, ‘Manslayer’, on September 25 via Prosthetic Records. BRAT‘s eagerly awaited sophomore album, ‘Manslayer’, was tracked at Chicago’s Bricktop Recording, produced, engineered, and mixed by Weekend Nachos’ Andy Nelson, and mastered by Brad Boatright (Deadguy, Pig Destroyer, Lathe of Heaven) with maximum weight and minimum mercy. The follow-up to BRAT‘s 2024 debut, ‘Social Grace’, ‘Manslayer’ features 17 tracks of primitive death metal, garroting thrash, and swamp-drenched hardcore for devotees of the darkest reaches of the underground. Shock-inducing album artwork by Wes Benscoter (Mortician, Slayer), hammers home Manslayer‘s macabre motif. Above all, ‘Manslayer’ represents a scaling up of ambition, sound, and vision for BRAT. The concepts are bigger, the music more widescreen, and it is all bound to translate into absolute mayhem live. “We’re evolving the bimboviolence and the campiness by making it all a little bit darker with this album, and a bit more overtly violent” says Liz “I think that will probably reflect in our stage show and our imagery as well, keeping it fun, not a total 180, but definitely progressing into something darker with it”.
