CARPENTER BRUT KICKS OFF NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

Fresh off releasing their latest full length Leather Teeth, on No Quarter/Carolina, this winter CARPENTER BRUT are now ready to invade North America once again with their patented synthwave, ’80s horror soundtrack attack.

Musically, CARPENTER BRUT says the new album is a “pure frenzy like Master of Puppets, or any of the good old metal albums: eight tracks wrapped in 32 minutes of sound. Put it on repeat if it’s too short.”
