Brutal Assault 2019. just added more bands to the awesome line-up, check out the great bands that are playing this year!

Brutal Assault 2019.is already 24th edition of one of the best extreme music festivals in Europe and also in the world. Today they added more bands to the already awesome bill with line-up having something to make everyone`s ears bleed with joy.

BANDS-UPDATE (1)

Blasting out of Byron Bay, almost as an affront to the serenity of their surrounds, PARKWAY DRIVE quickly established themselves as the most formidable force Australian heavy music had ever seen. A five- piece of astonishing power and understated charisma, PARKWAY DRIVE created unseen hysteria and are coming back to claim their festival-anthem crown.

How do you move from a band as pivotal as The Dillinger Escape Plan? For Liam Wilson, it meant ripping up the rulebook all over again. AZUSA make captivating music with unconventional nerve. Uniting the complementary skills of its members, their sound is a thrash-fusion tour de force. Defying expectations by embracing contradiction, AZUSA finds strength in vulnerability, harmony in dissonance and melody in discord.

The only pure metal attack in this update is a bunch of seasoned veterans with a long list of seminal acts in their CVs, coming to dominate BA with their relentless black metal project NORDJEVEL. Get ready for blast-fire annihilation propelled by one of the most insane drummers in the metal scene.

Norwegian-American electro metal project COMBICHRIST mark the return of ultimate genre merger with their infernal, yet extremely addictive sonic lunacy. Known by many as the Rammstein support that overshadowed Rammstein, COMBICHRIST led by Andy LaPlegua moves huge masses with its strange industrial metal sound that is uniquely even in the ‚aggrotech‘ scene.

Remaining within the ranks of metal-and-techno-fusion bands here comes VIOLENT MAGIC ORCHESTRA, an art project of complete harmony of techno, black metal, industrial, noise and emit light. Imagine black metal meets Kraftwerk.

Resonating with all the senses, CASPIAN are for fifteen years a solid and unshakable name in the post-rock scene and one of the best live acts from the genre. You can look forward for a show, which will bring welcomed relax during restless times on Brutal Assault.

Thunder rolls afar, unremitting rain, awaited gloomy deliverance gets under your skin. Sudden storm of unleashed instruments then quietness, absolute serenity. At the gates of hell or heaven depending on the listener’s philosophy. Cleverly mixing some kind of modern & ambient Black-Metal with Post-Hardcore tones, DÉLUGE does what has to be done whether you want it or not.

Music is mainly about fun and the Nordic mage Leo Moracchiolo is gonna bring fun factor to BA with his studio-project-transformed-into-band known on Youtube as FROG LEAP.

Final band to this update comes from the fertile grounds of Copenhagen’s underground; HEXIS combine black metal with hardcore and post-metal elements for almost ten years now.

So far the line-up goes:

ABORTED, AFTER THE BURIAL, ALIEN WEAPONRY, AGNOSTIC FRONT, ANIMALS AS LEADERS, ANNAL NATHRAKH, ANATHEMA, ANNOTATIONS OF AN AUTOPSY, ANTAEUS, ANTHRAX, AZUSA, BATUSHKA, CAR BOMB, CARCASS, CARPENTER BRUT, CASPIAN, COMBICHRIST, COUNTING HOURS, COVEN, CRYSTAL LAKE, CULT OF LUNA, CYTOTOXIN, DR.

(record review)SMOKEBOMB-Ninja Tape

Remember the mid 90-ies when bands like Downset and similar bands prowled the clubs delivering the energetic mixture of rap and hardcore punk with a metal twist to the hordes of ravenous kids? Well, Smokebomb from Brussels, Belgium remind me just of that wild times. I listened and reviewed their debut release for this zine.

a0129961513_10

These guys grew and developed their experience in the Belgian hardcore punk scene, until they formed this band in 2017. to spread around their Smokecore, like they call their music, a mixture of hardcore punk and rap with metal guitar hooks. This debut demo tape contains 7 songs. Personally, I am not some avid fan of such music, I never was really, but this sounds fresh and energetic with a lot of brutal mosh hardcore parts, some fast pure punk hardcore song structures and rap vocal lines. I would only love that the singer sounds more diverse, I don˙t know, somehow I got the feeling that he is better at pure hardcore shouting parts than rapping parts. One song that I must put above all the others is Underground Warrior which was a real ripper with awesome blastbeats, even death metal influences parts, hardcore and pure rage. As the record progressed I started to like it more and more with The Way We Do It being another example of great song. Also, Face The Fact was cool for me. This is a good debut and if you are a fan of such music, go grab one tape and contact the guys.

(news-new video-hardcore)ALL MY MEMORIES Video premiere on Hardcore Worldwide YouTube Channel!

f2c8354b-3422-43a9-9d2d-21649e9b6d54

A few days after releasing their new full-length effort for CD & digital on Bandcamp and the main legal platforms (iTunes, Spotify, Deezer…), French modern-metallers All My Memories just shared an official music video for the title-track of ‘UMWELT’ with the courtesy of Hardcore Worldwide..

In addition to this new video, the album is still available for free streaming on Bandcamp.

Inspired by the biggest names of Hardcore and Metal movements, the band was formed in 2011. By working and meeting new people, All My Memories have managed to forge its own identity and release a first E.P.

‘Artefact’ in 2012 and their first album ‘Legacy’ in 2013, showing their desire to go further and to invest that energy into a bigger project, somewhere between hardcore metal, metalcore and deathcore.

The band also played with the biggest names of French and International metal stage like Kreator, Moonspell, Black Bomb A, Mass Hysteria, Kreator, Loudblast or The Arrs but after some line-up changings, they took the time to work on new stuff building a new spirit into the band, before to record a secon album.

The desire to impose them on the growing French Metalcore stage transforms each show into a playground, their complicity on stage and their band vision gives them a true uniqueness that they want to take advantage of in the coming years.
For fans of Texas In July, Parkway Drive, Thy Art Is Murder, Breakdown Of Sanity..
