Formed February 2018, frontman Kyle Anderson describes the project as such: “Brand of Sacrifice was born from a thirst for an uncompromisingly crushing, modern take on the classic Death Metal/Hardcore formula. This is achieved by utilizing a number of influences from several musical genres, aside from Extreme Metal. Moreover, Brand of Sacrifice incorporates a choir and an ensemble of ancient instruments from past centuries such as the sitar, harp, lyre and many others. The band draws its name from the popular manga BERSERK by Kentaro Miura.”
