FROM OBSCENE EXTREME 2014 TRUTNOV, BATTLEFIELD, CZECH REPUBLIC PROMOTERS:
PURE CZECH GRINDCORE!!! TWISTED TRUTH!!!
One of the most active bands in the grind scene of the 90`s, a band that played at the very first volume of Obscene Extreme, is back again after years of hibernation. And they seem to be even in a better condition than they were during the last active period.
TWISTED TRUTH will get the chance to prove again at this year Obscene Extreme festival that the pure grind core is still alive in Bohemia.

ITALIAN HARD CORE NIGHT - WEDNESDAY 16th JULY 2014!!! TRUTNOV - BATTLEFIELD!!!
Are you ready to start the Obscene Extreme festival 2014 with a day of total fury?? Of the early '80s Hardcore scene, the first wave of ITALIAN HARDCORE has been often described with terms like "the furious years", "the wild bunch" and "Rovina HC" ("ruin" referring to the self-destructive moshing pits). So we thought to offer something that would evoke that burning spirit and energy: OEF's day 1 will be all dedicated to the true sounds of ITALIAN HARDCORE.
To make this possible we have selected two bands that were part of those legendary FURIOUS YEARS and a newer band keeping up that attitude and sheer intensity. From the raging 80s you will experience RAW POWER, hands down the most important and influential Italian HC band of all times, active since 1981 and never disbanded not even for few months. Their set is all what you dream to see: tons of anthems from "Screams from the gutter", smashers like "Fuck authority" and "Burning the factory".. an avalanche of pure old school HC in the early day tradition. And if RAW POWER were that kind of '80s HC spawned from the American lesson of bands like Circle Jerks and Black Flag, those who are more inclined towards the Discharge(d) school and raw as fuck Scandi-styled Punk will have their lethal dose with EU'S ARSE, another face of 80s Italian fury made of distortion, D-beat rides and hysterically shouted screams. So this for the 1981-85 survivors.
Then to give you a taste of today's equally fast and destructive HC, you will also get a younger italian act, ED from Bologna, specialised in fast thrashing Skate-addicted Hardcore the way of RKL, Verbal Abuse, The Accüsed and similar.. so don't be lazy (as Italians do!) and jump in the OEF's wild bunch since Wednesday to enjoy this hailstorm of pure mind blowing FURIOUS HARDCORE!!!

BOLOGNA SKATE/THRASH'N'FASTCORE MANIACS, BEST OFFERING OF THE CURRENT ITALIAN HC SCENE : ED!!!
A true hidden treasure of blistering Italian Hardcore delivered by young skaters from Bologna. Reviews say "Bologna skate punk thrashers on acid playing classic fast Italian hc meets old California punk meets Bay Area thrashcore, those guys were in fantastic BANxTHIS!" ..and no description can give a better portrait.
Take the rocking energy and precision of RKL, Accüsed, Verbal Abuse, Circle Jerks and try to imagine how would it sound if crossovered with a touch of italian HC a la Indigesti. They have been around for 10+ years now and seeing them live is a real overdose of energy: furious fucked up bursts rarely clocking over 2 minutes ranging from direct simple Hardcore in the old school Italian tradition to the current days' Skate Thrashcore Punk with knee-splitting tempo changes, pummeling tight drumming and freaking great riffs.

ULTRA RAW D-BEAT HARDCORE/PUNK FROM DEPTHS OF THE 80S : EU'S ARSE!!!
Can you imagine a band that had the same wall of distortion, filth and dbeat intensity of Doom and Hiatus but back in 1982/1983? The answer is: EU'S ARSE. Italy had a lot of raging chaos-core hordes back in the first way of furious Hardcore (just think of Wretched, Uderage, Declino, early Negazione and so on) but those who really brougth the discharged formula into the italian sound and anticipated the crustcore mayhem that exploded all around years later, are the legendary Eu's Arse. They only left 2 ep's back then, but that was enough to inspire a whole generation of Noise/thrash mongers. Even Ratos De Porao included a cover of their "Servitù militari" on an album.
And now, they're back (actually, they reformed in 2003) with a devastating line-up all made of local HC veterans and original members, and what you can expect to see is a massive wall of ear splitting distortion, anguish filled screaming vocals and solid dbeat drumming. If the rawness of bands like Anti Cimex, Discard, Shitlickers, Rattus, Kaaos, Confuse, Kuro drives you crazy, then you must experience EU'S ARSE on the OEF stage!!!

GODFATHERS OF ITALIAN HARDCORE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE OEF STAGE : RAW POWER!!!
RAW POWER, the longest-running band in the history of Italian Hardcore/Punk and with no doubt the most influential and credited of all. Delivering full on energy, aggressive Hardcore since 1981, their formula has become a real trademark: fast blistering drums, inhuman 6 string execution and rabid vocals combined with the screaming mad assault of songs such as “Fuck authority”, “Raw power” and “Don’t let me see it” that gave a vital input to tons of other like minded speed/HC maniacs to come in later years (in fact bands like KREATOR, NAPALM DEATH, HELLNATION, DECEASED, CRIPPLE BASTARDS and many more paid homage to them including RP covers on their records..).
They were the first Italian HC band touring the USA, and the one that brought Italian Hardcore on the international music map. Over their 30-year career Raw Power have shared the stage with some of the most important bands of the punk scene, hardcore and metal world: Dead Kennedys, GBH, Corrosion of Conformity, Suicidal Tendencies, Motorhead, Cro Mags, Sick of it All, Agnostic Front, Circle Jerks, Scream, Adolescents, Rancid, Poison Idea, Slayer, Venom, DRI, to name but a few, and also in 1985 in a small club in Seattle, Guns N Roses a still unknown band open for one of their shows!!!

EXPLOSIVE, GRINDING HARD CORE FROM THE STATES!!! DEAD IN THE DIRT!!!
Having said grind / hardcore it can be a pretty boring combination or also a kick-ass mix. In the case of Dead In The Dirt it is the latter option. Sludge parts full of feedbacks followed by brutal explosions that slacken to a crust filth after a while.
This band is rightly a top act at Southern Lord Records and we will moreover be able to see the band live at OEF 2014. Yes!!!

DON'T FUCKIN' MESS WITH BRUTAL DEATH METAL!!! PROPHECY!!!
So underground they've never seen the sun, Texas death metallers PROPHECY first formed in 1991 but have been worshipping at the altar of brutal death metal since 1995.
Coming of age in 1998 with the groove-heavy, riff-laden juggernaut of "Foretold...Foreseen" obliterating stereos, as well as tours with DEEDS OF FLESH, PROPHECY never compromising on their values – releasing their own albums and running the TXDM fest for five years in a row.
Pay your respects OBSCENE EXTREME, because PROPHECY are why you don't mess with Texas.
