The band comments: “We wrote »Paradise« for the Streamz Original drama series »Putain«, created by Frederik Daem and Gorik van Oudheusden (aka Belgian artist Zwangere Guy).

As fans of ZG, we were honored when Gorik reached out and shared his ideas for the soundtrack. We’re thrilled to have contributed to his project and we had a great time connecting in the studio.

Enjoy the track, go watch »Putain«!”

Stefanie, Stijn and Peter teamed up to start Brutus in 2013. They all met while playing in different bands from the same region of Leuven (Belgium). In merging their different ideas and musical tastes they have formed a strong union, both musically and personally.

Drummer vocalist Stefanie mixes black metal blast beats with math-rock flourishes whilst belting out the most impassioned vocals, shifting from deceptively melodic to out-right larynx-punishing in the blink of an eye. Guitarist Stijn Vanhoegaerden takes ethereal post-rock tones to hardcore punk levels of speed and energy aside Peter Mulders powerful sub-frequency shifts. It’s the way in which the band mixes post-rock construction, metal dynamics with hardcore energy and prog rock all the while lacing it with pure pop melodies that make Brutus’ sound so unique and all their own.
