Metal Guitarist REACTS To Brutus - War [World Tour Day 4: Belgium]

[Belgium] Guitarist and songwriter Matt Farkas listens to Brutus' song War for the first time! Love the musical textures this band achieves!

Over the course of the next 2 months I'll be (virtually) visiting 40 countries from around the world to listen to 40 metal bands I've never heard before. Give me suggestions for bands from your country in the comments!

brutus was a good choice. seen em live as a support act once and then saw em couple more times. love the shirt they sell with the top down drumkit shot. its a solid live band! unfortunately still a hidden gem. like many ot her belgium talents. that country has so much to offer... much.

[conditionsunderground]

Brutus is awesome, their albums are all good!

[jangruyaert]

You should absolutely try a solitary reign by Amenra. Also Stake/Steak Number Eight with the sea is dying.
Old school metal: Channel Zero (Black Fuel, S... my energy)
If you want some Dutch metal, check out Fleddy Melculy

[jen.g.]

Love them! As others have suggested, check out Oathbreaker. If you want something not entirely metal, check out King Woman “Manna” or anything from Chelsea Wolfe.

[abug]

You're looking for belgian metal band? Try Oathbreaker with songs like "Second Son of R." or "Immortals"
I love Brutus. I saw them live 2 years ago

Best metal lyric ever: Did you just really pull my hair, aaah. No, just kidding, love this band

[SuddenReal]

Originally, she didn't want to be the singer, content on just being the drummer, but when they couldn't find a female lead singer at first, the other two gave up looking and didn't tell her. Thinking they couldn't find one, she finally gave in and became the singer.

[fredericpieters]

I love Brutus! Great band! Other great Belgian bands:
After All, Cowboys and Aliens, King Hiss, Carneia, Haester, ....
Check Dunk!records

searching for belgium metal bands? what about AMENRA???

[rileyxxxx]

one of the best belgian bends is "wallace vanborn" if u fancy checking em out =P more into stoner alt rock. they have some sick tunes! if u more into indie slow melodic stuff best choice from belgium are "intergalactic lovers"

[samuelromainville]

You should listen to AmenRa, but there is also Brutal Sphincter (grind) and Aborted

[kevinbruyndonckx]

Other Belgian metal bands: Channel zero, Stake, Amenra, Diablo Blvd

[puppetmaster]

Man they’re so underrated, hopefully their upcoming video helps blow them up, fantastic band and Stefanie is amazing, extremely unique sound and having frontwoman who is also a dope drummer is incredibly rare, don’t even personally know another band with one. Appreciate the reaction of them.

[jannesuytterhoeven]

Pls try channel zero! One of the best bands in Belgium!!!

[derrickvaughn]

Aborted is probably the most well know metal band from Belgium.Amenra is awesome, as well.But, when I think of Belgium, I think of the hardcore scene and bands such as Rise And Fall, Black Haven, and Oathbreaker.

[dissonancy]

Brutus is an amazing live band! But when it comes to Belgium, Amenra are in a league of their own. I think their music is mostly called post metal, or doom. Doom seems apt, their music and performances weigh very heavy on the soul.

[dorientjewoller]

And none of the Belgians are mentioning the mother of all metal bands in Belgium: La Meurte.
