Louisiana metal band Brat will release its sophomore album “Manslayer” on Sept. 25, 2026, via Prosthetic Records and has set a string of U.S. headline tour dates in support of it.

“We can’t wait to hit the U.S. with our new album, ‘Manslayer,’ and introduce a new Brat era and stage show,” the band said.
“Manslayer” was tracked at Chicago’s Bricktop Recording; produced, engineered, and mixed by Weekend Nachos’ Andy Nelson; and mastered by Brad Boatright (Deadguy, Pig Destroyer, Lathe of Heaven). The follow-up to the band’s 2024 debut, “Social Grace,” “Manslayer: features 17 tracks of death metal, thrash and hardcore. Pre-order “Manslayer” here.
Brat also has shared the new track “Trophy Hunting,” which vocalist Liz Selfish says centers around reactive abuse.
