Louisiana deathgrind powerhouse BRAT return with Manslayer, the follow-up to their 2024 debut Social Grace. Composed of Liz Selfish (vocals), Brenner Moate (guitar), Eoghan McCarthy (guitar), Dustin Eagan (drums) and Ian Hennessey (bass), BRAT take their sound to the next level on Manslayer.
Drawing from primitive death metal, crushing thrash and swamp-drenched hardcore, Manslayer is dark, gnarly and unrelenting. Jagged riffs and relentless blast beats collide with Liz’s ferocious vocals, pushing the boundaries of what you expect from metal.
With lyrics written by Liz, the inspiration behind Manslayer comes from country music stories of women taking revenge, reclaiming their power and destroying the men who have wronged them. It’s an album built around rage, resistance and reinvention.
