Brodequin is an American death metal band from Knoxville, Tennessee, United States.
It is inspired by 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[1] and most of his lyrics are inspired by real historical events.
