Brutality

Anyone with a passing knowledge of metal can take a good guess as to what a band from Tampa named Brutality might sound like. Florida has produced a number of top-quality pure death metal bands over the years, and while Brutality isn't always mentioned in the same breath as a Morbid Angel or an Obituary, they did release three albums in the nineties, thus forging a decent second-level career. Their style and quality are consistent with the Floridian scene, no-nonsense death metal with some above-average lead guitar work. Since that three-album run they've disbanded and reformed countless times, with a 2012 reformation finally resulting in new recordings in the form of a 2013 EP and a fourth full-length album, Sea Of Ignorance, in 2016.
