Welcome to Episode Five of Brewtal Bands To Watch For RECAP June 2021.

We've been fortunate enough to have so many sick bands thus far in Brewtal's lifespan support the show and we wanted to make sure they got one more episode of airtime!

Each month either Todd or Arie will recap the songs that were featured on Brewtal, give a little more insight into the track, and let you hopwolves do the beer sippin and head bangin!

Don't forget that you can crank these jams, and future ones, up anytime on our Bands To Watch For Playlist!

Band Bios:

Reality Grip

(E24) Rated R For Violence feat. 'Tyrant' from Reality Grip | Circle Brewing Company's Austin Anthem Ale and Twisted Elk Brewing's Ale-N-Vasion Hazy IPA Craft Beer Reviews

Reality Grip is Godzilla in the fucking flesh. The culmination of a black hole collapsing and the planet being hit with a meteor. Fight riffs, immeasurably heavy breakdowns, and a wall of sound thick enough to split the planet in half. Reality Grip has only one mission....Arrive, wreck everything, and return still Kings amongst Kings.  Also we are all dads and goofy as shit and we don't take ourselves to seriously lol we just want everyone to catch a felony at our shows!

Our EP is slated to come out at the end of 2021.

Black Coast

(E25) Cryptic Messages feat. 'Ache' from Black Coast | 4th Tap Brewing Co-op's Kung Fu Robot IPA and Nostrovia Brewing Co's Hazy Eights IPA Craft Beer Reviews

The blue collar town of Stoke-on-Trent, home to Black Coast a ‘Stokie’ 5 piece that offers no glitz or glamour, just raw, honest and real music that hits you hard and fast. Moving into 2021, singles Paradise & Vodka Smile unravelled the challenge and adversity filled year that was 2020. The band garnered strong support from platforms including radio plays on Triple J (Australia), Kerrang Radio (UK), Radio Fritz (Germany), Radio Bremen (Germany) and online support and track reviews from Kerrang!, Rock Sound, V13, Dead Press, Blunt Magazine, and Hysteria magazine to name a few.

InRetrospect

(E26) Munster Jams feat. 'Limerence' from InRetrospect | 4th Tap Brewing  Co-op's Stay Gold Hoppy Pale Ale and Birdfish Brewing Co's Power Up Porter Craft Beer Reviews

A sonic balance of harmonious noise focused on the sole intent of reflection, acknowledgement and ownership of the external anguish we, as a species, provide so un-thoughtfully to the world around us. InRetrospect takes shape as an inter-county quintet who wish to share their perspective on the insatiable existential conquest that is the modern world.

Designing sound that combats topics around the constant deterioration of mental health, pain & hardship in its more extreme form. The band utilise the anger and rawness, not only in the studio but in their live show to deliver a truly ground-shaking, thought-provoking performance.

Since late 2018, InRetrospect have grounded their footing in the music scene, playing shows through-out the UK to gain local support and landing themselves on the Satellite touring roster in late 2020. Releasing a small collective of singles from 2020 to date has earned the band Radio play from BBC Introducing and gained the band DSP playlisting with Spotify and Apple music, surpassing 90,000+ streams on Spotify alone.

Speaking of brews, Todd ‘truly’ disappoints Arie with a fruit punch pack while the latter harvests a craft beer abomination of fruits from the northeast. In the metal world, we cover exciting Brewtal alumni updates, more upcoming tours and festivals, a couple bands tease a disasterpiece, and, as always, we run through new albums and songs to jam! We’re without a featured band this time around but we’ve got some exciting features coming soon, so stay tuned! PS stick around for the end to hear the instrumental track we use under our intro!

Featured Band:

This week's episode features Barrel-Aged Brewtal from ZaKrahe.

Unfortunately due to scheduling issues we don't have a full song to feature this week, BUT we do have a killer track from phenominal musician ZaKrahe! He wrote an intro track that is tastier than any barrel-aged beer you could get your hands on, so we took our vocals off of it to let the hopwolves drink it in! We're honored to feature Zack on every episode of Brewtal, espeically this one.

Featured Band:

This week's episode features Risen from Nothing Noble.

Bio:

Copenhagen-based progressive metalcore outfit NOTHING NOBLE provide neck-breaking, bouncy grooves that grow ever heavier and darker with every frustrated yell and growl from the gut of vocalist Cornelius Qvist. The quartet is now, after 3 years of intense writing, ready to release their unrelenting sophomore album "Modern Dismay". 

"Modern Dismay" is an exhibition of excessively groovy and deliciously dissonant, disgusting and catchy choruses, added guest performances by prominent vocalists from the international metal scene (COUNTERPARTS, END, MØL). The album is to be released on August 6th through Prime Collective.

What Nothing Noble is drinking:

Beer of choice as a band: Classic

Adam (drummer): IPA & sours

Cornelius (vocalist): Kriek / sours / heavy stouts

Lui (guitarist): Imperial stout

Uzay (bassist): Some cherry beer he tried in Belgium. He does not remember the name nor brand.
