Norwegian noise-rock blending diverse influences from Amphetamine Reptile

The Brother Seed is ?rabrot's third studio release, engineered by
Steve Albini in his Electrical Audio studios, Chicago, IL
and mastered by Bob Weston.

?Nobody wants to be caught with the wrong kind of nihilism these days,
when sincerity can so easily translate to wretched emotional hardcore or
what certain teenage cult bands have promoted as suicidal black metal.
So unfortunate as much of Scandinavian heavy metal or heavy-music-
with-metal-roots lends itself to an earnestly that's a bit blush inducing,
noise-rockers ?rabrot on the other hand, along with many other
stalwarts in the Norwegian underground, have grown in reputation for
championing the weirdest of the ugly.
Their unique attitude pushes the limits of heavy not just in terms of Slayer
or Ministry thoughthose influences are there, but in the strange rhythms of
Captain Beefheart, the grooviness of Scott Walker,
or the lyricism of Nick Cave.? (Ann Lee ?09)

Since the critical acclaim of their first three albums, Proposing a Pact with Jesus
(?05)and Rep.Rep (?06), The Brother Seed (?09)
notably produced by Billy Anderson of Melvins-Sleep fame, ?rabrot have
been touring Europe and USA with amongst others Qui, High on Fire,
The Murder Junkies, Dalek, Kylesa and also filling a spot at the
SXSW-festival ?09.
