BRUTUS’ Wacken Open Air 2010 preformance turned out to be a special event. Along with Schoft (guitars, vocals), Bastaerd (guitars, vocals) and Yuma van Eekelen (drums), bassist/vocalist Ploert climbed the stage, thus reverting the band’s line-up into three quarters of its original state.

WOA video footage is available on YouTube. ‘Geestesziek (Ill Minded)’ taken from the forthcoming album ‘Murwgebeukt (Total Loss)’ can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTGUvgNYRjU, while ‘Slachtbeest (Slaughterbeast)’, title track from the band’s 2003 debut full-length can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idPoPfwOSHc.

The mix and mastering of ‘Murwgebeukt (Total Loss)’ yet has to meet its final hour. At Deity Down Records, the release date of the limited EU digi has been pushed back until further notice.
