Forged in the legendary South Texas metal scene, Brotherhood has dominated the San Antonio circuit since 2005 and remains a regional force to be reckoned with after solidifying their lineup for 2009. The quintet’s dynamic sound draws logical comparisons to bands such as Hatebreed, Shadows Fall, Chimaira, and Pantera. They’ve shared the stage with mainstream metal acts such as Sevendust, Ill Nino, Soulfly, and Kittie, in addition to slots with underground metal heavyweights Suicide Silence, Bring Me The Horizon, Despised Icon, Job For A Cowboy, and War of Ages. Brotherhood took third place in Garage for Ozzfest in August of 2008, a contest in which they competed against 200 Texas bands for one of two slots on the Monster Energy Drink Stage.
Brotherhood is bucking short-lived metal trends in favor of reinventing the principles of old school metal. The result of this back to basics approach is music that’s equally as appealing to newer-school hardcore addicts as it is to their headbanging counterparts, and the unbridled fury in their live show has raised the bar for Texas metal. The importance of song structure is never compromised — the band’s music hits hard without sacrificing hooks, creating a sound that’s visceral and fierce, yet still accessible. Brotherhood’s strength lies in their powerful, infectious grooves, and the band achieves staying power with their timeless sound. The band’s primary objective in 2009 is to secure a record contract that will allow their music to be heard and appreciated on a national and international level. Brotherhood is Sponsored by Jagermeister and Managed by Jim Lamarca (Chimaira) and Straightrazor Entertainment.
