Bio:
Formed in 1998 near Modena, Italy, BROWBEAT arose from the ashes of local hardcore and metal acts with the mission to create the most intense and uncompromising music possible. Their debut album No Salvation (2000, Vacation House Records) was met with critical acclaim from the Italian press, while their explosive live shows quickly established them as one of the country’s top underground bands.

In 2002, BROWBEAT recorded their second album Audioviolence with renowned British producer Dave Chang(Stampin’ Ground, Earthtone9). Released in 2003 by Casket Music/Copro Records, the album marked a bold evolution in their sound—blending new school riffs, rap-influenced vocal fury, and modern metal intensity. The band went on to tour across Europe, including a UK run with Skindred, and played over 50 shows alongside Italian hardcore legends Raw Power.

After disbanding for a decade, BROWBEAT reunited in 2017 with Remove the Control, reigniting their place in the hardcore/metal scene with shows alongside Slapshot, First Blood, and Sheer Terror. In 2022, they self-released The Showdown, a five-track EP that reinforced their reputation for raw power and relentless energy.
