Moscow Death Brigade

MOSCOW DEATH BRIGADE is a techno/rap/punk band from Russia that plays "circle pit hip-hop": a unique and aggressive blend of electronic music, hardcore, hardcore punk and rap, infused with graffiti and street culture and spiced with a progressive social message against war, racism and other types of discrimination. In 2018, MDB played 47 shows with 30 sold-outs, including the famous SO36 in Berlin (850 people). In the same year, the band raised 4000 EUR to support "Sisters", a non-profit organization that helps victims of sexual and domestic abuse in Russia.

Originally formed in 2008 as a DIY team, MDB has its roots in the Russian progressive social movement and the graffiti underground scene. The band has played more than 150 shows and numerous festivals across the EU, including Boomtown (UK), With Full Force (DE), Zikenstock (FR), Krach am Bach (DE), Karlsoy Fest (NO), Wilwarin (DE), Resist to Exist (DE) and others. In 2019, the band will play at Boomtown (UK), Xtreme (FR), Mighty Sounds (Cz), Rock am Berg (DE) and other festivals.

The band's last album "Boltcutter" was among the TOP 5 best-selling albums in the Coretex store (one of the top webstores for HC and punk in the EU) in 2018 together with bands like Sick of It All, Terror, Madball and Slapshot. The band's numerous music videos and gig reports have reached 8.5 million views on YouTube.
