NARROWSBURG, NY — Up-and-coming metal powerhouse Brotality has been selected to be featured in the soundtrack to the upcoming feature-length documentary “This Was My Life: The Story Of Nick Menza.” 

Guitarist/vocalist Bryce Maopolski and bassist/vocalist Reece Maopolski created an original composition over existing unearthed and unreleased drum tracks recorded by former Megadeth drummer Nick Menza two years before his tragic death. 

The result? A new song titled “The Endless Eye,” to be released later this year as a part of the documentary soundtrack.

“This Was My Life: The Story of Nick Menza” was produced, directed and is currently being edited by Screaming Butterfly Entertainment. 

David Ellefson (former Megadeth bassist) signed on as a co-producer of the film, and also will provide narration, exploring the late Megadeth drummer’s life. 

The film will be released later this year. A teaser clip and behind-the-scenes video of the making of “The Endless Eye” are pending.

The Maopolski brothers formed Brotality in 2016, inspired by iconic groups such as Megadeth, Mastodon and Pantera. In a few short years, Brotality has released two EPs, multiple singles and two full-length albums. 

The band’s debut full album, “Worldwide Desolation,” has received rave reviews and landed on several Best Albums of 2021 lists.

Their sophomore album, “The Woods Will End You,” won Readers Choice Album of the Year on Metal Epidemic, made the Top Seven Thrash Albums list on Scream Blast Repeat (where Bryce was featured on their Top 7 Guitarists of 2022 list), and landed spots on many other lists of the top albums of 2022. 

The current band lineup includes the Maopolski brothers and drummer John Haring.

An ambitious 2023 schedule saw the band playing regionally around the Northeast U.S. and embarking on an expansive seven-week national summer tour, capitalizing on their 2022 summer tour, which spanned the U.S. over six weeks. 

In April 2023 they co-headlined Exodo Fest in Tlaxcala, Mexico, where they will return again in 2024. 

Back in 2021, as the first album was nearing completion, the band members talked to the River Reporter’s Jonathan Charles Fox. Asked to describe heavy metal and why it has resonated for decades, Reece said, “I think heavy metal makes all of us connect emotionally. A lot of people think [metalheads are] angry, but that’s not true. All of Brotality’s lyrics are very positive and the metal community is unlike any other.”
