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.
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.

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.

Tuna Forsushi Records released this four way split record featuring four bands from Maryland. I listened and reviewed this record for our zine.
The Drivin´Beats are featured with five songs of almost rock n roll sound with some garage punk influences even surf rock in Vampire Girl which was number one song for me on their part of the record. The music of this band was just not my cup of tea because I am oriented towards more punk stuff and I am not fan of music such as this band plays.
Sourpuss part of the record, also five songs are a bit better, but also not really my cup of tea, being too rock and roll and sometimes even too grungy, too biker hardrock for my taste, with way too many guitar solos and too long songs. I can`t dispute their musicianship, but I just don`t like such music.
The Downstrokes part of the record was right one. I love their dirty Dwarves reminding punkrock with enough energy and melody with also punk audacity and this was the best band on this record for me. Punk Rock Lolita is the song which I listened to on repeat for couple of times in a row. Great stuff.
The Xiles somehow reminded me of 77 punk bands like Sex Pistols and all those early UK punk bands with the raised middle finger in the air and not giving fuck about anything. Their five songs were just great to hear because I haven˙t listened to some old school punkrock for some time now.
So in all, this is a decent record with four bands for everyones taste, so full suport to the label and bring ´em more.
7/10
