Petit Brabancon’s “Seven Garbage Born of Hatred” EP promises numetal intensity

Petit Brabancon is set to release its highly anticipated second EP, Seven Garbage Born of Hatred, on August 7, 2024. The band characterizes this new work as “heretical”, drawing heavy inspiration from the intense numetal scene of the mid-90s.

While their 2023 EP AUTOMATA provided a more atmospheric, introspective look at the band, Seven Garbage Born of Hatred promises nothing less of veracity and savagery evoked by heavy metal concerts, walls of death, and more. Look forward to seven ferocious new tracks, with compositions by drummer Yukihiro, and guitarists Miya and antz.

Seven Garbage Born of Hatred will be available for digital download and streaming, as well as in physical format. You can check the music entry at the bottom of this post for more details.

Preorder the limited edition to gain access to exclusive advanced listening sessions in Tokyo and Osaka, with dates and locations to be announced. At these events, select members of Petit Brabancon will greet fans on stage. The specific members attending each event will be revealed on the day, but rest assured, every band member will be present at either the Tokyo or Osaka session.

The limited edition comes packaged in a fun takeout-style pizza box, complete with a matching tote bag. With 90s cartoon-inspired imagery and song names such as BATMAN, we’re looking forward to one nostalgia trip of a release.
