Around september 2000 "Bastærd" (Textures, ex-Lost Sacrament) and "Ploegbaas" (EX-Goddess of Desire, ex-The Mess Age) decided to start up a giga-Death-Metal-project wherein a continuous plow/blast, brutal rigid zombiguitars and murderous quasi-poetic Dutch lyrics are the main ingredients. Soon "Molestrator" (Razorblade Perversion) and "Schoft" (Wiri Smokkor) joined the two to complete the madness. After a few rehearsals, they decided an extra growler wasn't necessary, and that 3 vocalists sounded just as hectic and chaotic as BRUTUS was meant to sound. With 3 guitarists on the mics the writing and arranging of the songs went only smoother and faster. Women and relationships are not allowed to disturb the grim ambience of BRUTUS, so, Molestrator got his lazy butt firmly kicked when he arrived at the rehearsal with his new "play-maid". "Ploert" (Pandaemonium), our Saviour, The Eternal Jerker, replaced the Molestrator. With this line-up several venues had already been pletwalsed when 'round Xmas 2001 Brutus recorded a 6-song PROMO in order to indoctrinate label-owners and other deathmetal freaks...WORLD DOMINATION ! With a lot of nagging and a little physical violence we managed to get an opening slot on one of the "Gutting Europe" shows supporting Deeds and Disgorge and surprisingly enough the Unique Leader camp was impressed enough to release our debrut album "SLACHTBEEST" which was recorded in December of 2002. After a vast period of delays this brutal statement was finally issued in December 2003 immediately followed by an extensive European tour with Macabre and Cephalic Carnage. Soon after this endeavour the Bastaerd announced his retirement from deathmetal. Meanwhile 'Slachtbeest' was getting killer reviews in the media worldwide. Bastaerd completed the set of gigs we had before being replaced by Jazzwiz "Vlerk" . In September of 2005 Brutus embarked on yet another European Adventure, touring over 3 weeks with Fellow Unique Leader artists Mortal Decay and Beheaded, as well as doing Tons of local shows opening for the likes of Nile, Vader and Suffocation. Momentarily Brutus is working on the Follow up of 2003´s Slachtbeest, entiteled ´Murwgebeukt´ / ´Total Loss´. A cd highly anticipated in the Death metal community, not only due to the sad passing of drummer Maarten ´Ploegbaas´ Luysterburg on the 24th of October 2006. The Bandmembers from Brutus made the following statement: After a long and turbulent struggle with existence and desperate attemps to regain happiness and confidence Plowboss has unexpectedly decided to seek Eternal Rest ... Something he could not find on this Earth. He has left a great amount of friends and relatives who will all miss him dearly, but to end the journey here was a well-considered and unavoidable choice. The energy and charm he possessed was an inspiration to many and the work he has contributed to Brutus during the most difficult period of his life will not be lost, not will the memories of a remarkable multi-talent and enthousiastic true friend. Fare Thee Well... Since all the drums and guitarz had already been recorded while Brutus was still finishing the rest of the album, "MGB/TotalLoss" shall see the light of day once the remaining members have found the energy and will necessary to finish the job...
