It would seem some of your definitions of brutal would differ from mine, for pure sonic aggression and visceral brutality I give you angry white boy techno straight from the gutters of Den Hague.
Interr-Ference/ Beverly Hills 808 303 - Asociaal Hard Op Je Bek! 1996
(audio might be NSFW)
again a different take on brutal but what a snarling bitter song this is. all wrapped up in a late sixties pop song.
Female perspective needed.
.
The Wildhearts are good at this kinda thing imho. Here they are with customary subtley:
and here they are again
That second one, for trivia fans, features the last recorded (well, last recorded and released) guitar work from Mick Ronson (Spiders from Mars) - it's the middle of three solos, his is the slide work..
And finally this one, probably not such a good fit for the thread, but included for imho the best use of a very rude word starting with C in rock 'n' roll
EDIT: Someone point me to how you get the videos to appear properly these days and I'll fix this...
EDIT EDIT: Sorry, still not working, you'll have to click sorry. At least they're fairly short (especially the first one)
Blah blah forum update, everyone will leave, had to log in again, end of the world etc..
@edlong should just be able to post the url text, or the short (share) link. Doesn't work for everyone!
First song I heard with the C word in the chorus, was this B side of "out of Control".. I wuz shocked
(ps. don't click play if offended by swears or poor music 🙂 )
KMFDM a Drug Against war (Whish I could find a better quality of the video)
Maybe Not brutal and harsh but a great fan-made video and any excuse to post this 🙂
Great vid 🙂 (Made a few years after the song's release if I'm not mistaken!)
OH MY GOD HOW DO YOU POST A VIDEO NOW WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE UPDATE THE FORUM HELP KILL ME NOW
This thread is a memory lane marvel for me.On Spotify/YouTube later (left all my records behind when I disappeared from Edinburgh over 20 years ago)
Love the Feotus video, Feotus, Swans, Big Black.Buthole surfers,Wiseblood, Rapeman.......... were all part of a crazy time with buckets, micro dots and magic mushrooms whilst listening to music not meant for fragile minds.
Atomizer was the record of choice to give a visitor to skin up on, hoping they would read the back of the sleeve.
locust abortion technician is another album I used to love. Sweat loaf, human cannonball, Kuntz and 22 going on 23.
I’ll add this, despite being told it was hatred for vegans I still loved it and still think it’s ace. lyrics and guitar are harsh.
I was going to suggest Nick Cave too.
Stagger Lee and O'Malleys Bar from Murder Ballads.
Oh and Townes van Zandt's version of Dead Flowers is miles better than the Stones.
The original cover for Big Blacks Headache 12” on touch&go was brutal iirc.
shipped in a thick sealed pvc sleeve, it had morgue photos of someone had had the head stored in with an axe. Definitely brutal.
im not gonna google and post it...
what was that nick Cave track off Your Funeral, scum?
Brutal song, brutal video, awesome band:
The lyrics to this are pretty brutal, especially when you get to the last verse:
They powered up the city with hydro-electric juice
Now we got more electricity than we can ever use
They flooded out the hollow and all the folks down there moved out
But they got paid so there ain't nothin' else to think about
Some of them made their living cutting the timber down
Snaking it one log at a time up the hill and into town
T.V.A. had a way to clear it off real fast
Lots of men and machinery build a dam and drown the rest
Uncle Frank lived in a cabin down on Cedar Creek
Bought fifteen acres when he got back home from overseas Fifteen rocky acres, figured no one else would want
'Til all that backed up water had to have some place to go
Uncle Frank couldn't read or write
Never held down a job, or needed one in his life
They assured him there'd be work for him in town
Building cars, It's already going down
The cars never came to town and the roads never got built And the price of all that power kept on going straight uphill The banks around the hollow sold for lake-front property
Where doctors, lawyers, and musicians teach their kids to
Water-ski
Uncle Frank couldn't read or write
So there was no note or letter found where he died
Just a rope around his neck and the kitchen table turned on it's side
I think this fits the bill!!!
Don't let the upbeat music fool you...
Indeed.
Awesomez...Big Black, Shellac and Idles all in one place. I will go with some Fugazi:
I give up googling. WTF with posting videos on this forum? Do the short YouTube links not work? Do you have to do your own video tags?
just paste the link directly in, no formatting or nothing.
Cheers Metalheart. Does the preview not work then?
Just copy and paste the YT address from the address line at the top of your browser.
I always get the link from the app - if it displays the shortened url it’s not a problem...it just didn’t show in the preview so I presumed it didn’t work.
Balls

< happy to help Henry Rollins once said that R.E.M’s The One I Love was the most brutal song ever written.
Isto:
Does the preview not work then?
nope.
lose the ‘link’, just paste the ‘text’ and return it. Nothing else, it just ****s it up.
Copy & paste this but without the “ “
“
Another high5 for the Devs :/
Ha ha I am a dev and I can’t work this out.
All I did paste was the link, without quotes. I will try again this time pressing return after.
TFFT
Lyrically, 2Pac's 'Hit em up' diss of Biggie Smalls and Bad Boy Records is savage. You may sense his anger towards the end of the track...!
Anything by Sutcliffe Jugend. I'm actually frightened just typing their name. No way I'm linking any songs.
Brutal?
Stalingrad...
Some great stuff on this thread. Didn't expect to find HMHB here but good choice.
Get dropped on your doorstep like Dando
Stalingrad? Jeez I wasn't expecting them to turn up here. I remember seeing them at the Red Eye in Islington.
Metalheart, I was thinking of Crass too, but this song:
for a band that does brutal The Tiger Lollies are all very dark lyrics and backed by an accordion in a strange cabaret vibe
Yous are shite at this, pure occult darkness
Bump, not to post any new songs, but seems good a place as any to mention the shit news about purveyor of harsh brutality, Dale Barclay - who I posted on page 1 in the Amazing Snakeheads, now of And Yet It Moves - is fighting brain cancer. That ****er can fight, so hope to see his band again.
