Italian metallic hardcore institution Browbeat shares 'The Real Face' video • GRIMM Gent

One year after the release of “The Showdown” EP, Italian metallic hardcore institution BROWBEAT are back with their brand new album “Unbreakable”, which will be released on March 22nd 2024 via Time To Kill Records.

Whilst fans wait for its release, the band has today debuted the first single taken from the album. Watch the video of “The Real Face” HERE.

“The message of this song is a total denunciation of power and rulers who disguise themselves as benefactors, making people believe, through fear and false truths, that what they decide is for the good of the people and the masses. The song calls for the sabotage of this corrupt power and its criminal projects, which aim exclusively to enrich multinationals and large global financial banking groups. An incitement is therefore expressed to violently and courageously unmask the power, making its dirty lies and hypocrisies public”.

Tracklist:
01. The Misers
02. The Real Face
03. Empire On Fire
04. Condemned To Fear

Based in a small town near Modena (Italy), BROWBEAT formed in early 1998 from the ashes of local hardcore and metal bands with the intention to create the most intense music possible fusing angst, heaviness and aggressive vocals.

Just after few months the band signs with top independent Italian label Vacation House Records and in May 1999 BROWBEAT starts the recording sessions for the debut album “No Salvation” (VH041) – out in April 2000. “A monument engraved on marble..” (Rumore Magazine), “..every sonorous portion is a hammer blow on the listener back causing multiple breaks..” (Psycho! Magazine). The record is unleashed to unanimous critical acclaim by the Italian press and the band is announced as one of the best acts in Italy. But it’s on the stage, when BROWBEAT starts touring all over Italy playing several headlining runs, where the band conquers the audience with powerful and enraged performances involving people in fearsome energy shows.

With the band writing new stuﬀ, BROWBEAT gets in touch with British top-grade producer Dave Chang (Stampin’ Ground, Earthtone9) and in August 2002 the band heads into the studio to start the recordings of the second album “Audioviolence” (CSK017). The record is the synthesis of the band evolution blending haunting melodies, raged rapped vocal parts, throatripping growls, edged new school guitar riﬀs, paying also attention to the modern sounds of New Metal scene without loosing the sight of BROWBEAT roots. Chang captures the feelings and the attitude of the band and the result is due not only to the recording process but to Chang emotional involvement as well.

In late 2002 British Casket Music/Copro Records gets in touch with BROWBEAT and in January 2003 the band ﬂies to UK to ink a worldwide deal for the second album release “Audioviolence” (CSK017) out in April 2003. BROWBEAT toured Europe extensively both headlining and as support, like the UK tour with Skindred. They also supported with 50+ shows and countless other appearances with hardcore legends RAW POWER. In 2017, BROWBEAT announced their return after disbanding 10 years earlier, releasing the new album “Remove the Control”. After the reunion the band played with Slapshot, First Blood, Sheer Terror, and in other headlining shows.

During the pandemic, the band begins writing new material and enters the studio to record “The Showdown”, a self-produced five-track EP released in January 2022.
