The idea of Rock music let alone Heavy Metal in Guyana as a supported genre may seem laughable to some but it does have its local following.

Amidst talk of rock being a dying art form heavy metal band Eu-Tu Brutus is daring to rock on.

Many have said that the most dauntless efforts have failed and that the art form is as good as dead but the band members sharply contrasts this belief. “We have heard the naysayer’s rumours prophesying the end of rock in Guyana, but we don’t believe it because we still exist,” the group in an invited comment said.

Their explanation is that this sort of talk came about because of the lack of live performances which have become near impossible to realize simply because of minimum sponsorships and dwindling fan support.

However the affirm that “ET-TU Brutus have not giving up, we have grown from strength to strength and hard at work honing our craft.” The band that has been in existence for more than eleven has done over one hundred or more gigs and they said “we never expected to reach this far but we have and will continue…rock will live.”

After playing for three important shows in Trinidad and Brazil, with other heavy Metal bands for the first time and being treated like rock stars they said these experiences have brought them to the realization that “we are a Heavy Metal machine to be reckoned with.” Fortified with this inspiration and two additional members the band has embarked on a series of recording at the Brutal tracks studio for release in a matter of weeks. .

Sounding a warning to rock fans the band states that ‘Pure Original Guyanese Heavy Metal’ music will soon be released from ET-TU Brutus. They pride them selves in being called the heaviest Metal band in Guyana.
