Brutal Assault 2024: 70 % of the line-up revealed!

Brutal Assault introduces 23 new bands, reaching 70 % of the complete line-up!

Death metal classics CARCASS will return to the Fortress after five years. Together with them, you can look forward to a proper toxic brutal death metal charge from CYTOTOXIN. From Belgium will come death/goregrind hurricane ABORTED, and from Sweden DARK TRANQUILLITY with their signature Gothenburg melodic death metal. The imaginary death metal circle will be closed by apocalypse riders VLTIMAS.

American ESCUELA GRIND will unleash grindcore chaos, followed by American MISERY INDEX and ROTTEN SOUND with their death-grind mixes. The destruction will conclude with PIG DESTROYER, who rightfully rank among the most respected grindcore bands.

The black metal scene will be represented by the American AKHLYS, the underground acclaimed YELLOW EYES, and the folk psychedelic HEXVESSEL.

From the gothic scene, Brutal will welcome the popular industrial DEATHSTARS and the post-punk-tinged UNTO OTHERS. From the dark swamps will come Finnish melodic KALMAH, and from overseas will come heavy-rock-metal SOIL. CYNIC, the American “tech metallers” will bring a special Focus set for a re-release of their iconic debut album. The 8-bit computer MASTER BOOT RECORD or the brutally honest post-hardcore SVALBARD will deliver their original perspective on music.

Get ready to jump into the moshpit for a good dose of hardcore, as MADBALL will return to BA after six years. Also performing for the first time at BA will be the established CANCER BATS, SHOW ME THE BODY with their unique and innovative musical identity, or THIS IS HELL, metal punk freaks known for their intense and energetic live performances.

Second wave of Brutal Assault line-up is here! Powerful returns and three premieres!

Leave a comment

We’re here with the second update for Brutal #26, bringing powerful returns but also includes three premieres! Among the returnees is Brazil’s most famous band SEPULTURA, black metal panzer-bestie MARDUK and one representative of ‘The Big Four’ ANTHRAX.

After whole 9 years we welcome on the brutal roster the death metal traditionalists BENEDICTION, followed by hardcore matadors TERROR, thrashers SUICIDAL ANGELS and I AM MORBID. There’s no Morbid Angel without Trey, but the morbid-duo David Vincent and Pete Sandoval will come to play “Covenant”. Together with “Legion” it’s the second death metal gem that Brutal 2023 will offer you.

The last three names are the festival’s first-timers! All three bands have a rather distinctive take on deathcore and prove how powerful a player can deathcore in the extreme scene be. There will be a slaughter under the stage, look forward to SIGNS OF THE SWARM, WITHIN DESTRUCTION and FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY.

Brutal Assault 2023 added first names in line-up!

Leave a comment

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!
