Additional notes
Pictured (When The Sky Turns Black/Most Toured- Lineup) left to right:
Scott Reigel, Jim Coker, Don Gates, Bryan Hipp, Jeff Acres
Brutality reformed twice after the initial split. The first time Brutality's record deal with Still Dead Productions fell through in early 2005 and as a result, the band split up in April 2005. The band resurfaced once again in early 2008 but never played shows or recorded. The band now seems to be finally put to rest permanently.
An unreleased song was made available exclusively on the Nuclear Blast compilation "Death ...Is Just The Beginning IV" (1996). The song is called "Certain Annihilation".
''Violent Generation'' from ''When The Sky Turns Black'' was featured in the movie and soundtrack for ''Traces of Death III''
Not to be confused with Brutality from Philadelphia.
