Hear + see Brutus' first glimpse of Wandering Blind exclusively HERE, courtesy of Metal Hammer, the UK's foremost rock/metal authority.

Self-described as "heavy blues rock for the new generation," Brutus was started 10 years ago by three Swedes in Oslo who found two Norwegians, and "we started to jam together. Despite that it was 2006, the music that came out was more akin to what was made in England and the US in 1969-1970 - good rocking stuff like Leaf Hound, Grand Funk, Blue Cheer, and Pentagram that we were spinning a lot on our turntables."

Brutus' third album to date, Wandering Blind was recorded at Engfelt & Forsgren Studios in Oslo by Christian Engfelt (Cato Salsa Experience, Big Bang, Serena Maneesh). In 2010, they released the self-titled debut album on Swedish label Transubstans, and in 2013 came the critically acclaimed Behind The Mountains via Svart Records. Following the release of Behind The Mountains, Brutus have toured around Europe a couple of times and played festivals like Roadburn, Desertfest, Bukta Festivalen, Stone Rising Festival, Freak Valley Festival, and many more. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

1. Drowning
2. Ute av fokus
