Our debut album is out now!
Brazen Tongue is a metal ensemble that defies geographical boundaries to create a sound as expansive as their origins. The band's members currently reside in Chicago, IL, USA, and Gothenburg, Sweden, bringing together a diverse array of influences to forge a unique sound within the metal genre.
Formed through a long-distance collaboration that began in 2017, Brazen Tongue is the culmination of a musical partnership between Scott Skopec and Ethan Gifford that dates back to 2004. Their journey from playing together in a blackened thrash band from 2004-2008, to the formation of Brazen Tongue showcases resilience and adaptability, navigating through life's changes and geographical separation to create something truly unique.
Brazen Tongue's members have previously played with Polyptych and Headshrinker. Their music is deeply rooted in the foundations of classic metal, thrash, black metal, and death metal. Their music strives to balance aggression with melody, embodying the essence of their diverse influences while forging a distinct path.
The band's debut album ‘Of Crackling Embers & Sorrows Drowned’ explores themes of mortality, acceptance of past mistakes, and the struggle against the ephemeral nature of life. The album features Benighted drummer extraordinaire Kevin Paradis as a session player.
