The Brute

About

The Brute is an electro-rock act from Lucerne, Switzerland, founded in 2018 by Daniel Gierke, with members also based in Germany. Their sound layers synthesizers and cinematic soundscapes over rock, blues and pop, drawing comparisons to a darker take on Depeche Mode. The debut album "Brute : One" came paired with the short music film "Momentum To Die", shot on the original Goldfinger Bond film sets in the Swiss Alps. In 2025 the band announced their first proper tour and a second album, "Fallen".
