ZX Spectrum poweruser Yerzmyey emerges from the shadows with Brutal And Aggressive, a six-song foray into the YM/AY dimension's darkest atmospheres. Serrated arps flank cold, phasing tones and punishing low-res rhythms, challenging you to either join the darkness, or meet your end resisting.

This has a track on it called "picturesque" which is one of my all time favorite tunes!
(thread title should say brutal instead of dark according to the cover art)
Im ejoying this a lot, huge bass sounds!

Wow, I was asleep at the wheel when posting. Thanks, correcting now!
Yo everyone needs to hear this.
THIS ! I listen it at least once a day !!!
Well, it was kinda experiment, we could say.
Making some heavy/brutal stuff for YM/AY chip with its single speed (50hz) is rather risky. 
Those chips haven't any super-hyper developed synthesis, You know.
That's why people use them mostly for melodic music rather than hard electro/breakz stuff.
Another thing is making YM/AY music with 4-times speed (200hz). Then the chips show their full power (like in STU's productions for Atari ST) but this mode of work isn't actually available for ZX Spectrum because our CPU is too slow (3,5Mhz only).
But still, I wanted to give it a try and make something less melodic and more 'aggressive' this time.
The next - 'Japanese' - album entitled "Microsongs" will be melodic again (with exception of one dubstep song).
Best wishes 
Yerz
PS: I suspect the brutal stuff could sound better from 2 AY chips (TurboSound) but it wasn't the idea, this time.
