“When we were in the studio doing those songs, we realized we didn’t want to say that, to see those as our final recording”, vocalist Scott Reigel says. The result is “Sempiternity”, an album that started out as a “swansong”, but had the band leaving the door open instead of closing it once and for all. Finally, the group included four tracks (“These Walls Shall Be Your Grave”, “Cries Of The Forsaken”, “Cryptorium” and “48 To 52”) recorded live at the Maryland Deathfest in May 2019. “Orchestrated Devastation” and “Fluent In Silence” were recorded in studio, and Brutality decided to add two old tracks - “Crushed” and “Artistic Butchery” - which were re-recorded in 2018, and only available until now in a limited 7” EP self-released by the band. As Brutality had two new songs in store, the members started to, slowly, get their heads around the idea of a final release, and this is how “Sempiternity” decided to take form. Andersen, Emanzipation Productions A&R, saw that as an opportunity to release a kind of a swansong for the band and approached them to do so. When Brutality announced, in October 2020, the band would be splitting up, the whole world was left stranded – once again – except for one person. And we’re talking Tampa, Florida, home of the best US death metal bands. Four studio albums that put them among the best death metal bands that the Tampa scene, in Florida, has exported to the world. Being a band with a well-documented turbulent career, Brutality managed to have a fine body of discography work in their on-and-off career.
