Fast-rising U.S. metal powerhouse, BRAT, today releases a music video for the new song, “Spit on His Grave“. The payback-pushing track appears on BRAT‘s new album, ‘Manslayer’, a record that sees BRAT vocalist, Liz Selfish, pen trope-turning lyrics of women’s revenge, in which they take their power back. Inspired by country music songs like “Goodbye Earl” by The Chicks, “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood, and “Gunpowder & Lead” by Miranda Lambert, the thematic angle of ‘Manslayer’ introduces a fresh new perspective to underground metal, causing NPR to proclaim, “BRAT is poised to celebrate its true breakthrough with Manslayer, a record destined to become essential listening in the metal genre.”

The release of the new BRAT video, directed by Jeff Van Gerwen. advances the band’s United Kingdom run of headlining live dates, which kick off on October 28.

“Spit on His Grave” is one of our favorite songs to play live!,” says Selfish. “It’s a very in-your-face, high energy song, and in true BRAT form we wanted to make the video campy and high energy as well.”  

“Over The Top” is the newest single from Indiana-based blackened thrash/speed metal behemoths, WRAITH. The smoldering new hymn comes by way of the band’s World War I-themed Descent Into Darkness full-length, slated to drop on November 13th through Prosthetic Records.

An ominous bass line crawls beneath a creeping guitar groove on “Over The Top.” Vocalist/guitarist Matt Sokol sneers, “Go,” and the track kicks into high gear. It captures the anxiety and tension of soldiers in a foxhole hanging on for dear life as a menacingly melodic lead pulls them back to the front.

Louisiana metal powerhouse, BRAT, will release 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.

Today, BRAT drops the third advance track from ‘Manslayer’, the hematic “Speculum Bleed“. The snarky single arrives via a visceral video that BRAT vocalist, Liz Selfish, claims is inspired by volcanic death metal legends Cannibal Corpse.
