29 years ago today, we entered the β€œShrine of the Master”!



On this day (July 8 ) in 1994, Brutality released their second full-length studio album, β€œWhen the Sky Turns Black” via Nuclear Blast America.



Background:

β€œWhen the Sky Turns Black” is written in the same vein as Brutality’s excellent debut β€œScreams of Anguish” (1991). Released the same year as Obituary’s β€œWorld Demise”, Bolt Thrower’s β€œβ€¦For Victory”, Incantation’s β€œMortal Throne of Nazarene”, At The Gates’ β€œTerminal Spirit Disease” and Cannibal Corpse’s β€œThe Bleeding”.



The extreme sound of these megalithic releases were vital to the Metal faithful as the landscape of the scene had been overshadowed by the rising Grunge and Alternative movement, and Metal was treated like a disease.



For me and a select group of friends, Brutality and the other aforementioned Death Metallers were in a sense, hero’s. Brutality’s brilliant lyrical content, intricate melodies, and β€œbrutal” rhythms were openly embraced by many left with a gaping hole in the wake of popular Metal’s untimely demise.



Highlights: β€œWhen the Sky Turns Black”, β€œRace Defects”, β€œArtistic Butcheryβ€œ and β€œShrine of the Master”.
