Into the Mouth of Badd(d)ness

Into the Mouth of Badd(d)ness is the debut album by Canadian heavy metal band Brown Brigade, formed by former Sum 41 guitarist, Dave Baksh, released on September 18, 2007. However, it was also released on iTunes in the U.S. and Canada one month earlier on August 14, 2007.
The title of the album and title track may be a reference to the John Carpenter film In the Mouth of Madness, while the song "Fear of a Brown Planet" might be a reference to the Public Enemy album Fear of a Black Planet.

The album is heavily influenced by the new wave of british heavy metal, the classic metal and 80s heavy metal, with obvious influences like Iron Maiden, Diamond Head, Blitzkrieg and Judas Priest. The album also includes a cover for "Hallowed Be Thy Name" by Iron Maiden, the band's biggest influence.

The album was released by Aquarius Records in Canada only and has been critically successful. It was also proven successful when released later in Japan.
