Volumen brutal is the second studio album by Spanish metal band Barón Rojo. It was produced by Chapa Discos and Barón Rojo and published by Chapa Discos in 1982.

The album was recorded in 1982 at Kingsway Studios, owned by ex-Deep Purple's frontman Ian Gillan, in two weeks. This album was released in two versions: one with lyrics in Spanish and another sung in English. Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden is credited for helping the band with the translation. This led Barón Rojo to international success specially in the United Kingdom, where they graced the cover of music magazine Kerrang!. "Stand Up" was chosen as European single.

Volumen brutal was ranked as the 17th Best Rock en Español Album Ever according to American magazine Al Borde.^[2]
