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.

Another 16 bands for Brutal Assault announced. Line-up expands with death metal, stoner, prog and core

The Brutal Assault line-up is expanding as we bring the announcement of four genre updates:

DEATH METAL

Death metal is expanding with the addition of Florida masters of the genre DEICIDE after their last year’s excellent performance. Along with them, the technically proficient Canadian CRYPTOPSY will take Brutal by storm with their fresh new release “As Gomorrah Burns”. OBSCURA will add a tinge of technical melo death to the line-up. The death metal gore carnage will be taken care of by SEVERE TORTURE as befits this Dutch band.

STONER

You will have the opportunity to drink a few liters of beer with one of the most important bands of the stoner (rock/metal) scene of the last years – namely the RED FANG. A fusion of doom, prog and grunge will be delivered by the talented STONED JESUS. A Greek stoner ritual will be performed by VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY, who infuse their heavy psychedelic rock with folk instruments. DOPETHRONE will take care of combining doom, sludge and stoner into one metal euphoria.

PROG

The good news for the prog scene is undoubtedly the announcement of the return of Dutch innovative metallers TEXTURES, who aren’t missing Brutal Assault line-up either. Along with them you can also look forward to the acclaimed independent progressive guitarist PLINI from Sydney, the melancholic RIVERSIDE or the surreal musical poetics of NIGHT VERSES, who are the only support act on this year’s TOOL tour, proving their extraordinary quality.

NEW BLOOD

Modern approach, “new blood” and core will be represented by Australian metalcore masters THE AMITY AFFLICTION together with progressive metalcore quartet AFTER THE BURIAL. Also arriving for the first time at Brutal Assault will be the talented SPIRITBOX, whose debut album “Eternal Blue” was described by Distorted Sound magazine as “a masterpiece of modern heavy music”.
