Questions

About the Project

What is Brec Destroyer?

Brec Destroyer is a solo modern metal project. One person, Vjekoslav Berec, writes, performs, and shapes every release, with collaborators chosen song by song for what they specifically bring to the track. It is not a band by committee. It is not a label-driven product. It is a deliberate, uncompromised creative project built around heavy music as a real form of expression rather than a costume.

Where is the project based?

Between Vienna, Austria and Croatia. The work moves between both places. Vienna offers the working infrastructure and access to the wider European metal scene, while Croatia provides the personal and cultural grounding. Both cities show up in the music in different ways, the discipline of one, the rawness of the other.

What genre is Brec Destroyer?

Modern metal. That term is wide on purpose, the sound moves through deathcore intensity, melodic vocal hooks, atmospheric guitar work, and emotionally direct songwriting. The dynamic range is intentional. Heavy parts hit hard because the quiet parts earn them. The label is less important than the goal: songs that mean something at volume.

Is this a band or a solo project?

Solo. Brec Destroyer is the creative project of one performer, not a lineup. Vjekoslav Berec writes the lyrics, performs all vocals, lead, layered, scream and clean, and directs the creative arc of every release. Collaborators appear when a specific song asks for them, like Jasmin Mišić who composes the music, plays guitar, and produces on several singles. The vision, lyrical voice, and creative direction always live in one place.

About the Music

What is the latest release?

Griefeater is the latest single, released 29 May 2026, a collaboration with composer, guitarist and producer Josip Pilipić aka Void.404, who wrote the music. Lyrics, all vocals, and the creative direction are by Vjekoslav Berec (Brec Destroyer). It fuses deathcore weight, black metal atmosphere and orchestral production, with Dmitry Kim (ex-Jinjer) on drums, Harry Tadayon on orchestration and Miha Oblišar on bass, an orchestra on ecstasy inside a collapsing cathedral. For the full story behind the track, see the Griefeater page.

Where can I listen?

All official Brec Destroyer releases are available across major streaming platforms, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal, and the rest. Direct links live on the homepage listening section and on each individual release card. Music videos and behind-the-scenes content live on the official YouTube channel.

How often do new songs come out?

The release schedule is shaped by quality, not by calendar pressure. A song goes out when it is finished, not when it would be convenient for a content strategy. That said, Brec Destroyer is an active project with new material consistently in development. Follow the news page for confirmed announcements.

Are the songs covers or originals?

Both. Original songs make up the heart of the catalog and carry the project's voice forward. Cover versions appear when a specific song from another artist resonates strongly enough that a Brec Destroyer interpretation makes sense, reframed, re-arranged, and pulled into the modern metal vocabulary the project uses.

Are lyrics published anywhere?

Official lyrics are made available on streaming platforms that support synced or static lyrics. For deeper context on what a song is about, the release page for that track is the most direct source, see the Griefeater page as the model for what every single's story page looks like.

About Collaborations

Who is Jasmin Mišić?

Jasmin Mišić is the writer-producer-guitarist on several Brec Destroyer singles, including Mother, Force 力, and Word Up!. He writes the music, plays guitar, and handles production, mix, and master. Jasmin does not sing on these tracks; all vocals are performed by Vjekoslav Berec. The collaboration was chosen for ear and feel, not for credit-list optics, a composer-producer whose writing and playing fit exactly what these songs needed.

Who is Void.404?

Josip Pilipić, who records as Void.404, is the composer, guitarist and producer behind the latest single Griefeater. He wrote the music and handled production, mix and master, then helped pull together the track's international lineup. As with every collaborator, the choice was about feel and fit for the specific song, not credit-list optics.

Who handles production on Brec Destroyer releases?

Production is chosen song by song. The latest single, Griefeater, has music, production, mix and master by Josip Pilipić aka Void.404. Earlier singles including Mother, Force 力 and Word Up! were written and produced by Jasmin Mišić. In every case the working relationship is built on a shared idea of what modern metal should sound like: wide, dynamic, intentionally raw, and emotionally readable, never polished into something safe. The lyrics, vocal performances, and overall creative direction remain entirely with Brec Destroyer.

Can I collaborate with Brec Destroyer?

Collaborations happen song by song, based on what a specific track needs. Producers, vocalists, instrumentalists, and visual artists who feel like their work belongs on a Brec Destroyer release are welcome to reach out via the contact details on the press page. Sessions are not booked by reputation; they are chosen by fit.

Live, Press & Business

Does Brec Destroyer play live?

Live shows are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The project is built around recorded output first, with live performance treated as a separate creative challenge that has to earn its place. When live dates are confirmed, they are announced on the news page and across the official social channels linked from the homepage.

How do I request a press interview or premiere?

The press page includes a downloadable press kit, biography text in multiple lengths, high-resolution photography, and the right contact address. Premieres, interviews, playlist pitches, and label inquiries are welcome and are read by the project directly, not routed through a publicist by default.

How do I book Brec Destroyer for a show?

Booking enquiries go through the contact address on the press page. Useful information to include in the first message: date, venue, expected audience size, billing position, technical setup, and any festival or tour context. Vague enquiries take longer to answer than specific ones.

Is the project signed to a label?

Brec Destroyer operates independently by design. Label conversations are open when the partnership genuinely benefits the music, not when the deal exists for its own sake. Inquiries from labels who actually understand modern metal and can offer something the project cannot already do alone are welcome through the press contact.

Fans & Support

How can I support the project?

Listen, share, follow. Streaming on the platform you actually use is the most reliable way to support the project, it pays into the system that makes the next song possible. Sharing a track with one person who would actually connect with it is worth more than ten generic social posts. Adding songs to your own playlists matters more than people think.

Can I use Brec Destroyer music in my video / stream / project?

For non-commercial fan use, short edits, tribute videos, personal projects, credit the project and link to the official channels. For commercial use, sync licensing for film, TV, games, or advertising, contact through the press page with project details. Every request is read.

Where do I follow updates?

The news page is the official source for confirmed announcements. For day-to-day updates, the social channels linked on the homepage are the place, but news that matters always lives on this site first.
