Brutal Assault 2023 added first names in line-up!

After the early birds tickets for the 26th edition of Brutal Assault were sold-out very fast, it’s time to start revealing what excited fans can look forward to. Although the currently confirmed ten bands seem to be deathmetalish, fans looking for diversity and novelty in the festival line-up need not worry, the next batch will turn the helm in a different direction.

It’s hard to pick a stronger artist in the current ten when the pillars of the genre are just glittering here. Let’s start with the return of hardcore legend BIOHAZARD, who hasn’t toured or recorded since 2015. But the right time has come and Biohazard in their original line-up are going to bring you the heaviest calibers!

For the first time on Brutal will be eccentric hardcore BEARTOOTH, whose concerts are literally explosive. Also appearing for the first time will be old school death metallers GATECREEPER or Canadian tech-death hurricane ARCHSPIRE.

Update, however, has the power of a death metal legion. How could it not, the immortal cult “Legion” will bring DEICIDE to its 30th anniversary. On the other hand, news can be expected from the shredding DYING FETUS, you will be able to worship Swedish gods HYPOCRISY, the cult NAPALM DEATH or the death convoy from the Valley of the Kings itself, which will once again make its way to Josefov: NILE.

Last but not least on the roster are TRIVIUM. Matt Heafy’s youthful enthusiasm has returned to the party on the last three albums, giving Trivium back not only energy, speed and dynamics, but also incisive riffs and memorable melodies, including catchy, not intrusive choruses. And their new single shows that they intend to keep it up!

We will soon continue to reveal other part of the line-up of Brutal #26, in the meantime you can recall the atmosphere of the festival in last year’s Aftermovie. Stay tuned!

Melodic hardcore The Idoru released new single!

After a 10 year break, The Idoru came back strong 2020 with their original lineup and a new 3 song EP…The history of the band goes back to 2003, since then they played several headliner tours through Europe, Japan, as well as joined tours with other bands such as “Ignite” (Japan) and the legendary punk band Misfits on a few of their European tours. Since the start, the IDORU have released 4 albums and a few EPs. A new full length album is planned for 2023.

The Idoru is a post-hardcore band from, Budapest, Hungary. The group was formed in 2003 by ex-members of the Hungarian hardcore band, Newborn. The band quickly stood up and started to play several gigs in their local area, and soon after, several shows abroad. Spending their first year to establish a base for further actions, they realized that it was time for them to make their first recording. In the fall of this year, they started the recording, and on a New Year’s Eve live appearance of the band, the mcd entitled After the Storm (EP) came to life. This three-song debut was the product of the collaboration between the guys and legendary Japanese record label Alliance-Trax. The collaboration turned out well which resulted in their debut album titled Brand New Way, Brand New Situation (album) was recorded in late 2004. In the fall of 2004 the band joined the rooster of the successful uprising Austrian label Burning Season Records, and the full-length album was released in February 2005. In 2005 after recording their 3rd record Hopeless Illusions EP, they decided to leave Burning Season Records to join Deadbutcher Records. In 2020 the IDORU joined Swedish record-label Black star foundation to release a new 3 song EP

The Idoru combines the forces of metal, hardcore and punk-rock genres which results in an interesting and progressive sound

Tibor Szalkai (guitars) 
András Bödecs (vocals)
Gábor Nagy (guitars)
Mátyás Mohácsi (bass)
László Szabó (drums)

(movie) Shudder´s Glorious(2022) is an interesting psychodelic horror idea.

Shudder somehow became trademark for quality horror lately and this is really an interesting idea made into movie. Ryan Kwanten of True Blood fame stars in this one as Wes, guy who just came through painful breakup with Brenda(Sylvia Grace Crim) and he travels along highway and he himself does not know where. Wes stops at a little rest stop and drinks himself to oblivion as he burns Brenda´s and his stuff and passes out. When he comes to, he runs to toilet to puke and realizes he is locked inside with a voice coming from glory hole(J.K. Simmons is brilliant as a voice). That voice presents itself as god Ghat and asks favor of Wes, then things start to complicate. Well, this maybe doesn´t sound promising or inviting but you gotta watch this one, believe you me. This is practically a one man movie, with couple of actors appearing in couple of minutes but Kwanten did a hell of a job with this one. I love how psychodelic parts collide with mindfuck and cosmic horror in this one. This is a good movie. Directed by Rebekah McKendry.
