Brodequin is an American death metal band from Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. Formed in 1998 by brothers Mike and Jamie Bailey, the band has released three albums and two EPs to date, their latest release being Perpetuation of Suffering, which was released on August 31, 2021. Themes The name Brodequin was chosen by Jamie Bailey, after the medieval torture device of the same name. Torture devices in general are referred to frequently in the group's lyrical content. While lyrics describing dismemberment, torture, murder, and abuse are unsurprising in death metal, Brodequin is unusual in exploring such phenomena within a historical context. Jamie Bailey is a history graduate and most of his lyrics are inspired by real historical events.
