Belgian goregrind powerhouse BRUTAL SPHINCTER unleashes the latest glimpse of their upcoming album with the release of the title-track, "Sphinct-Earth Society"! This explosive new single perfectly encapsulates the band's relentless energy, blending their signature groovy goregrind with fresh influences.
Pushing the genre’s boundaries further than ever, BRUTAL SPHINCTER once again proves why they remain a force to be reckoned with. "Sphinct-Earth Society" is out now - get ready for the full album drop on May 23rd, 2025, via Time To Kill Records!
The band commented:
“The world of conspiracy theories beckons us to explore, particularly the curious claims of flat-earthers. Contrary to popular belief, the Earth is neither flat nor perfectly round; through our own research, we have discovered that it takes the shape of a sphincter.
Our exploration into the flat-earth phenomenon led us deep into various Telegram and Facebook groups, where we watched an overwhelming number of YouTube videos presented by self-proclaimed scientists.
From this experience, we've concluded that many people derive a sense of superiority by labeling others as 'sheeple', often without realizing their own hubris.
One striking claim we encountered is that there is a hole at the North Pole from which greenhouse gases escape. According to this theory, smoking is strictly forbidden in that area. If you don't believe us, we encourage you to conduct your own investigations and attempt to debunk our theory!”

With "Sphinct-Earth Society", the band pushes the boundaries of the genre they inhabit. In other words, by incorporating numerous new influences, ranging from death metal to modern metal, they redefine what goregrind can be, all while maintaining that groovy signature sound that makes them so instantly recognizable.
For example, while the track “Beatdown Syndrome” integrates hardcore elements, the song “Name Three Songs” instrumentally pushes the limits of technicality. Meanwhile, a track like “Abolish Frontex” draws influences from death metal akin to Daath or Decapitated, and a juggernaut like “Unvaxxed Lives Matter” secures its place as a classic in BRUTAL SPHINCTER’s discography thanks to its unparalleled heaviness and ultra-groovy riffs.
Across the 10 tracks that make up this new opus, BRUTAL SPHINCTER tackles societal issues both dramatic (climate change, immigration, sexism, etc.) and conspiratorial (anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers, etc.). As usual, they use their particularly biting humor and embrace absurdity to approach these sensitive topics.
Moreover, the band’s two frontmen complement each other more than ever, delivering a particularly diverse vocal range. Whether you’re a fan of the pitched vocals typical of goregrind, the slimy inhales of slamming death metal, the caveman shouts of powerviolence, or the more traditional growls foundational to death metal, there’s something to enjoy in these 30 minutes of brutality.
With this new offering, BRUTAL SPHINCTER solidifies its position among the leaders of their genre and sets out to expand its reputation into scenes less niche than grindcore.
