History
The group formed in 1986 under the name Abomination and soon after released their first self-titled demo. In 1988, they changed their name to Brutality and released their second demo, also called Brutality.
In 2008, all three albums were remastered, and released on the Polish label Metal Mind Productions.[5] In 2011, they released a boxset containing three CDs with rare material, as well as their demo tapes from 1986 to 1992. The boxset also contains a poster and a live DVD. The band reformed in 2012 with the complete line-up of Screams of Anguish, and in 2013, released an EP containing two new songs entitled "Ruins of Humans". The band released their fourth album, Sea of Ignorance, in January 2016 on Ceremonial Records; the album got a European released on Mighty Music in 2017.[6] The band performed at Maryland Deathfest in 2019, and began working on material for their next album. The band briefly broke up in 2020, but reformed in 2021 and announced the release of 'Sempieternity', a compilation containing new songs, re-recordings, and live material.
