QuarterBlind Sign To Brutal Elite Records Ltd

We are very proud to announce that metal monsters 'QuarterBlind' have signed to Brutal Elite Records Ltd.

QuarterBlind released their high impact debut album "Bleeding The Guilty" worldwide in 2007 and have never looked back since!

Gaining superb high profile reviews and an extensive gig list playing over 60 shows promoting their first album, sharing the stage with bands such as; Sylosis, The Defiled, Seven Year Kismet, OutCryFire, Speed Theory, Chaos Blood and Trigger The Bloodshed, moving onwards & upwards, the metal monsters are set to release their follow up album 'The Root Of Affliction'(BER002CD) worldwide through Brutal Elite Records on September 6th 2010.

Never tailoring their sound to fit with the scene, nor artificially trying to distance themselves from it, QuarterBlind consistently stand out from the crowd by combining infectious grooves, melodic hooks and an underlined darkness with an undefinable original quality.

QuarterBlind remain one of the most exciting bands in the UK and show no sign of slowing.

Brace for impact!

ISOR Sign To Brutal Elite Records Ltd

We are very proud to announce that mathcore legends 'ISOR' have signed to Brutal Elite Records Ltd.

ISOR have been brutalising the UK mathcore scene since they formed in 1999.

The duo released 2 full length albums worldwide through Copro Records; 'Post Mortem Peep Show' in 2004 & 'The Zebra Theory' in 2008.

They are currently in the studio re-recording their debut album 'Post Mortem Peep Show' for a release on Brutal Elite Records which will be titled 'Revisiting The Peep Show' and will feature 3 new bonus tracks along with re-recorded versions of the other 10 tracks taken from 'Post Mortem Peep Show'

When asked about their decision to re-record the band said, "It's so great to finally have the resources to record 'Post Mortem Peep Show' as we originally intended, we both love that album to bits, but the production style never suited it & it will be amazing to have that record exactly as we originally intended with our own personal instruments, sounds & not generic ones that were chosen for us, together with the heaviness & clarity that comes with a modern up to date recording..."

After hearing the new guitar tracks going down in the studio, we at Brutal Elite have to agree, we have heard that album thousands of times, but are now hearing notes & nuances for the very first time, and talk about heavy, my god, the guitar tone is devastating!

"Some of the parts sound so different now you can hear all the notes, we are a bit worried that fans will accuse is of changing the riffs, but we promise, that's how they have been played all along, you just couldn't hear them before (unless you were watching us live). But you are gonna love em even more now you can hear them properly!"

ISOR are also working on a brand new release containing 6 new tracks, that will be recorded & released worldwide in early 2010 on Brutal Elite Records.

ISOR have received massive critical acclaim gaining such comments as:-

"England’s ISOR has made an album that restores my faith in the metal/hardcore genre.", "I haven’t heard an album this creative in a long time. ISOR has only two members, but what these guys lack in numbers, they make up in sheer brutality. This album has to be the musical equivalent of being beaten with pool sticks and then set on fire.", "Nothing is overdone, and nothing is underplayed.", "I sincerely hope this is the future of metal/hardcore. There is literally something for everyone here...", "This album is superb, and I don’t think there is a single song that is weak. ISOR has found the perfect blend of everything that is fun and angry about metal and hardcore alike. If you happen to be a fan of Drowningman, Deadguy, Converge, and the Dillinger Escape Plan, then you'll want to hear this album." - [85] Lambgoat - (USA)

"Incredibly fierce mathcore mentalness." METAL HAMMER - (UK)

"...the most exciting extreme metal album of this year.", "...Isor are f*cking incredible and this album will tear your head off. Absolutely bottom line essential!!" [4.5/5] WALLS OF FIRE - (Germany)

"...ISOR have landed as the saviours of the Brit metalcore scene.", "...A landmark debut release." [4/5] TELETEXT - (UK)

"...undoubtedly one of the most exciting metalcore debuts in recent times." [4/5] I ATE YOUR MICROPHONE - (USA)

"Two People? You'd imagine this music was created by an army.", "...the matter of relentless death-thrash touches the anti-matter of acoustic passages and emo undertows to create nullifying explosions..." TERRORIZER - (UK)

"...contains some of the most furious, chunky, pummelling riffage I've heard in ages! Go buy, right now." [9.5/10] ULTIMATE METAL - (UK)

"A brutal yet intelligent concoction of sounds '...Peep Show' is an extremely strong release and could be one of the biggest sounds of the metal core scene this year." SKRATCH THE SURFACE - (UK)

"...it's hard to imagine a more pressuring and crushing sound.", "This is how an ultra brutal bastard of the most extreme styles has to sound..." [9/10] THE METAL OBSERVER - (North America & Germany)

"...totally awesome sound and easily the best release I have heard this year..." AUDIOCRATIC - (UK)

"A band to be on the look-out for, and surely a worthy addition to any Extreme Metal or Hardcore festival!" [95/100] CONCRETE WEB - (Belgium)

"...pure genius ideas that retain a real freshness and innovation that a lot of bands don't possess." QUINTESSENCE - (USA)

"...arguably the best new metal sounds to come out this year." [4/5] ANEMIC MAGAZINE - (Australia)

"Fans of noisy, harsh, dissonant metalcore need this. Isor mix it up so well, and need your attention." RAW NERVE - (UK)

"...damn fine release and one that threw me totally with its ferocity, and this is definitely not to be missed...", "Recommended!" COLLATERAL DAMAGE - (UK)
