Brutality (band)

Brutality is an American death metal band from Tampa, Florida. " Brutality" formed in 1986 and soon after released their first demo called "Abomination". In 1988, they released their second demo "Brutality" that led them into the fanzine underground. The band's third demo "Dimension Demented" was recorded in 1990 and was later released on 7in named "Hell On Earth" with Gore Records. "Metamophosis" was the band's fourth demo which had worldwide distribution on Wild Rags Records. At this point the band made some line-up changes which made the band's sound even more brutal. They proceeded to record a demo to shop for a record deal. Many record labels showed interest, so after nogotiations they signed with Nuclear Blast Records. After releasing a 7in EP called "Sadistic" they recorded their debut album Screams of Anguish in 1993 and went on a European tour with Hypocrisy in the beginning of 1994. A second album was released in 1994, titled When the Sky Turns Black a second European tour followed in 1995, in support of Bolt Thrower. After their third album In Mourning, the band split up in 1997. In 2001 the band recorded a demo but to subpar recording they decided not to release it. In 2008 all 3 albums were remastered and released on Metal Mind Productions.
