Music like The Graviators

Brutus is a Norwegian hard rock band from Oslo, Norway formed in 2007. Brutus has a heavy groove based on 1970s blues-oriented riff rock, in the vein of Black Sabbath, Grand Funk Railroad, Blue Cheer and Pentagram, among others.

Brutus formed in 2007, when Johan Forsberg, Christian "Krille" Hellqvist and Knut-Ole Mathisen got together to start a band. Mathisen was originally bassplayer, but shifted to drums when a drummer could not be found. The band solidified by 2008 when they found second guitarist Kim Molander. After seeing a concert with short lived band The Ritual, Hellqvist was so amused with charismatic singer Joakim Stenby that he hunted him down later that same night, threatening him to sing in the band. He said yes, and the lineup was complete. The band recorded their first demo. later that year (2008)
