Info:

In 2009 Jimme, Jeunis (both Ex-ABSORBED), Knolle and Robert formed an alliance in order to play their favourite style of old school Death Metal. Their plan to play this brutal, heavy and deadly kind of music, resulted in a foetal version of what nowadays is the ultimate war-machine called ICONS OF BRUTALITY. Some first, hardcore-fueled songs were written and two gigs played.

Shortly after these gigs drummer Robert decided to leave in order to concentrate on his other band REAL HATE. Fortunately the ranks were closed swiftly as former GRINDMINDED drummer Bakvet joined the chapel of madness. Also second guitarist Appe was added to the line up. And now - behind every canon a man - ICONS OF BRUTALITY set ablaze a seething fire.

They focussed completely on writing new material and entered Fredde Kaddeth's Dirty Bird Studio in the winter of 2011/2012 to record their first album. Influenced by several old school DM gods like Bolt Thrower, Vader, Dismember etc. and with a great production like many early 90's Swedish DM-bands, "Between Glory and Despair" will crush and conquer the world in 2013!
