Berlin duo Brutalismus 3000 are brutal not just by name, but by nature. Roskilde Festival participants learned that the wonderfully hard way when the duo tore through the festival in 2024 with their full-frontal collision of techno, punk and gabber – a show that has since become the stuff of legend.
This summer, they return with new material from their upcoming album Harmony, set for release right before the festival. The lead single “I Bring My Gun To The Function”, created with Boys Noize, points to an even more uncompromising direction, pushing their sound further into a high-pressure mix of techno, dubstep, trap, punk and nu-metal.
It’s a shift that will undoubtedly carry into the live show, where new material lands alongside bangers like “Bitchboss”, “Satan Was A Babyboomer”, “Die Liebe Kommt Nicht Aus Berlin” and “No Sex With Cops”.
The recipe remains a dark, corrosive and humorous blend of electroclash, hyperpop and high-velocity gabber beats, with roots in Germany’s post-punked Neue Deutsche Welle scene. Or simply call it now-gabber-post-techno-punk – the term the duo themselves coined for the musical bastard born from a Tinder date between Victoria Vassiliki Daldas and Theo Zeitner.
With a string of strong EPs and the 2023 debut album Ultrakunst, the duo have built a solid hype, further fuelled by their ferociously intense and razor-sharp live shows. With Harmony in the mix, they’re set to deliver another full-force impact when they return to Roskilde Festival.
