Self-described as his "first 'serious' album", Sutter explained that "[it] doesn't have a definite genre" and was mostly influenced musically by "Cannibal Corpse, Iron Maiden, Roupa Nova and Death".[4] Unlike his previous releases, which focus around parodical and humorous songs, Bruno Sutter features more serious, introspective and motivational songs, and also covers by musicians such as late 16th-/early 17th-century English composer John Dowland and sertanejo duo Chitãozinho & Xororó. "Socorro" takes its lyrics from a poem written by Sutter's late father, Aloysio Grazzinoli.[5] The singles "The Best Singer in the World", "GrAttitude" and "Provoke Yourself" were released in advance earlier in 2015,[6][7] while "I Bloody Love to Love You" came out as a single the year later.

Angra drummer Bruno Valverde served as a guest musician on the album. Its cover art was provided by Eduardo Francisco, an illustrator for the MOBA video game Smite who also drew the artwork for Sutter's previous EP DetonaThor.

Bruno Sutter was critically acclaimed upon its release, and was chosen by readers of website Whiplash.net the second best Brazilian album of 2015. Its cover art was also chosen the second best of the year, and Sutter himself was elected the best Brazilian male vocalist.[8]
