Brutal Assault thickens lineup with 13 new bands and Norwegian icon SATYRICON

They haven’t performed live in five years, and haven’t appeared in the Fortress since 2016. They’ve always forged their own unique path to the previously unexpressed. And since they have a new album scheduled for May 2024, it’s clear that we have to have them at Brutal 2024 – SATYRICON in the summer after 8 years in the Fortress!

The line-up of the currently 31 confirmed bands for Brutal #27 is expanded by another thirteen new bands. Among the most anticipated acts will surely be the return of THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER without Trevor Strnad (RIP), while death metal fans should also be pleased by the return of classics BROKEN HOPE, the slamming PARTY CANNON or the old-schools SKELETAL REMAINS, LIK and SNĚŤ.

After 10 years, the deathcore sextet WHITECHAPEL will return to Josefov, while metalcore purists will be delighted by DARKEST HOUR, who in the mid-90s stood – e.g. together with Lamb of God – at the revival of American metal. The extreme MENTAL CRUELTY, on the other hand, will rock the fortress with symphonically tuned blackened deathcore, while GUILT TRIP with a mix of metal and hardcore.

The final trio of bands in the update are Slovakian “crusters” ČAD, speed/heavy/thrash frontrunners EVIL INVADERS and KAMPFAR with their 30th anniversary set.

The festival will once again take place in Josefov, an 18th century military fortress, in the second week of August from 7 to 10 August 2024 and will feature over 130 bands from around the world.

New bands: Broken Hope, Čad, Darkest Hour, Evil Invaders, Guilt Trip, Kampfar, Lik, Mental Cruelty, Party Cannon, Satyricon, Skeletal Remains, Sněť, The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel

For the new masterpiece of Pyramid-like in their previous album “Validity” – Lance Sawyer, the mainman of this band some of the best musicians of the metal scene:

Tim Ripper Owens (KK Priest, ex-Judas Priest, ex-Iced Earth, among others), Andry Lagiou (The Harps), Harry Conklin “The Tyrant” (Jag Panzer) on vocals, Mike Abdow (Fates Warning) on guitars and Chris Quirarte (Redemption) on drums, Adam Bentley (Arch Echo)guitars and mixing engineer ,Joey Izzo (Arch Echo) the master on the keyboards and Perrine Missemer on the amazing violin.

Mastermind Viktor Hakan says about “Ignorance Is Bliss”:
“We wanted to break the 4th wall with this video and that’s what we did. The guitarsolo from within a diary is particularly satisfying. I bet symphonic musicians aren’t asked to act schizophrenic in other jobs. That’s the beauty of LEDMOTIV. We had Marty Friedman signed up to play the solo of this song. However, for timing and budget reasons, this never materialized.”

Consistently orchestral!

“In my former band Kairos, we also toured with U.D.O. – there’s something about that,” adds the drummer with maximum motivation. “I thought it was a great opportunity to tour with master Udo in Russia. One pandemic and one invasion later, we all know that this option is not possible for a long time, maybe forever.”But there are more surprises in store for the Gothenburg-based ORCHESTRAL METAL band: “Having a word with Mikkey Dee backstage was just impossible with all the girls around him. I did the next best thing, which was to have a nice cold beer with the guitarist from the old-school Thrash band Vio-lence.”Part of the new album “An Astronaut’s Diary” was recorded with renowned King Diamond guitarist Andy LaRocque, and the music video “The Man In Silver” was filmed by the experienced Patric Ullaeus.
