BRUX - Demo

La Parca

 

BRUX is an all-new, three-piece band out of Barcelona, who just released their first - ten-track(!) - demo on a label called La Parca. Besides that the physical release of this demo, obviously on cassette, is limited to just 50 copies, I absolutely have no further info on both band and label, besides that this is one hell of a release!

 

Now I honestly can’t remember the last time I received a demo with ten (or more) tracks on them, so thanks to this extensive tracklist you might as well consider this a full-length debut. The only thing I am missing here is either a CD or LP (or both of course), because BRUX is up and ready for a full-scale release, thanks to its raw mastering and vile, crude sound!

 

With two songs in English, “Brawler” and “Bet Your Bollocks”, the remaining tracks are all - presumably - in Catalonian, which is an excellent choice if you ask me. But no matter the language, most songs don’t pass the two-minute mark and the ones that do - with exception of closer “Tira A Matar” - barely manage to do so. So what you get is that fast-paced, barbaric sound with mean vocals and loud back-ups, somewhat reminding me of RIXE from time to time. Love it!

 

As I wrote earlier, the cassette-release of BRUX’ demo is limited to just 50 copies and I wouldn’t be surprised that a good stack of that run was sold during the pre-party of this year’s (2019) Beach, Beer & Chaos festival where BRUX performed. So act fast, though I wouldn’t be surprised if this scorcher came out on vinyl later this year - highly recommended!
