FROM BRUTAL ASSAULT 2016 PROMOTERS:
Fresh confirmed bands with VOIVOD, EYEHATEGOD & SIKTH!
This time we start with caveman battle doom, from the swamps of mythical Hyborian ages comes English doom hammer CONAN! Considered by some an ugly bastard spawned by Black Sabbath and Sun O))), they’ve defined their own sound on the split with Slomatics and their debut EP Horseback Battle Hammer. Industrial metal/EBM stars DIE KRUPPS will join us alongside legendary southern bastards EYEHATEGOD, who will claim their repugnant dopethrone for the first time at our festival. Next a band that formed entirely new vision of progressive metal at dawn of our milenium, SIKTH! These guys were supposed to play last year but their studio schedule prevented them from doing so in the end. But the wait was totally worth it, the new EP Opacities is again a gamechanger, or at least a piece that bursts with creativity and technical skills and oscillates between madness and classical musical approach. Controversy sprouting Niklas Kvarforth and his Swedish enslemble SHINING will take part as well as Norway’s own SLAGMAUR, who will honour us with one of their extremely rare avantgarde black metal shows. A big name in the end, VOIVOD! VOIVOD seem to be in perfect shape ever since Canadian guitar hero Daniel Mongrain (Martyr, Cryptopsy, Gorguts) joined their ranks to replace the sadly deceased Piggy and will celebrate the musical greatness of various genres.

Nová várka kapel v čele s VOIVOD, EYEHATEGOD & SIKTH je tady!
Tentokrát začínáme s jeskynním doomem z mýtických Hyborianských časů, z anglických bažin k nám totiž přitáhnou svá doomová kladiva CONAN! Ti, jsa považováni mnohými za ošklivého bastarda vzniklého z nečistého spojení spojení Black Sabbath a Sunn O))), způsobili senzaci zejména svým debutovým EP Horseback Battle Hammer a splitem se Slomatics, kteréžto nahrávky Vám rovnou doporučujeme. Dále se k nám opět připojí nestárnoucí EBM/industrial metal mašinérie DIE KRUPPS, která odkazuje k zbrojnímu konglomerátu z Essenu, a která má na kontě čerstvou vynikající desku Metal Machine Music. My name is God, I hate you! Ano, tušíte správně, svůj debut si u nás odbydou legendy Lousianského sludge EYEHATEGOD! Další debut, na který se velice těšíme, je po odkladu loňského vystoupení na spadnutí i SIKTH! Mladší z Vás možná nepomatují, ale SIKTH byli jednou z kapel, které způsobily na přelomu milénia v progresivním metalu doslova převrat.. A jejich návratové EP Opacities, které vychází po desetileté odmlce, je paralelou mezi bláznovstvím a normalitou, erupcí čirého muzikantství a technické vyzrálosti, hraničící až s virtuozitou. Čekání na tenhle návrat se opravdu vyplatilo! Dalšími do party jsou švédští SHINING, black metalové uskupení kolem kontroverzemi přetékajícího Niklase Kvarfortha. Vedle nich se můžete těšit na jednu extrémně vzácnou lahůdku, a to totiž vystoupení norských avantgardně black metalových podivínů SLAGMAUR. Velké jméno na závěr, opět se můžete těšit na účast VOIVOD, kteří se zdají být po příchodu Daniela Mongraina (Martyr, Cryptopsy, Gorguts) na Piggyho místo v excelentní formě!

BRUTAL ASSAULT ANNOUNCES NEW BANDS!
Next bunch of newly confirmed bands is here. Among the acts confirmed for the next year are Australian metalcore stars PARKWAY DRIVE and legendary NY deathmetallers IMMOLATION! We're also proud to announce that icon US based death metal act ANGELCORPSE has reformed and will perform BA 2016! Leading groove metal formation DEVILDRIVER will also play next edition and the same goes for Swedish death dealers TRIBULATION and early millenium prospects DISAVOWED, who will present their extreme technical death metal! American progressive thrashers VEKTOR and crossover thrashers IRON REAGAN are closing this batch! To see all the bands confirmed so far please continue to http://brutalassault.cz/en/
Also check out this Napalm Death video from the last edition! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIC3HMUrygw



A MASSIVE LINEUP UPDATE IS HERE!
OBITUARY, ARCH ENEMY, SATYRICON performing 20th Anniversary Nemesis Divina set and many more!
The first band in this batch comes from Belgium and is revolving around Sven de Caluwé – yes we’re talking about the butchers from ABORTED! Returning to the festival after many years are ARCH ENEMY, this time with the notoriously blue haired singer Alissa White-Gluz as a frontwoman! We’re also extremely pleased to welcome Swiss masters of technical thrash CORONER to the line-up for the first time! Pioneers of the Gothenburg scene DARK TRANQUILLITY will appear at Brutal Assault 2016 alongside one of the hottest bands in modern extreme genres ESKIMO CALLBOY. If you’re an old school death metal fan (escpecially in the vein of Leprosy by Death) we have GRUESOME for you. For the fans of experimental music on the other hand we have HYPNO5E from France and Norwegians LEPROUS, who have already played our fest as Ihsan’s live band. Esoteric atmosphere laden bands will be represented by Portugese legends MOONSPELL and and the American Egyptologists NILE! Florida death metal scene will not be represented by it’s dispiles GRUESOME but also by the mighty co-founders OBITUARY, who are in a magnificent shape! Not only the last time announced Insomnium will represent the Finnish version of melodic death metal, they will be joined by OMNIUM GATHERUM. The final unholy trinity of black metal acts consists of TAAKE, SATYRICON, who will perform a 20th Anniversary Nemesis Divina set, and of SIGH from Japan!
Some of you might consider it odd, that we have controversial black metal act TAAKE of Norway on this years' roster, since some of you have their 2007 third reich symbol scandal on mind. We've been thinking about this for at least two years. These things are against our principles and our policy and we think these things have no place in metal nor in daily life. We're still opposed to intolerant ideologies of all kinds. However this TAAKE case is a bit different. The band itself has nothing in common with political ideologies nor haven't the band's artistic course been shaped by a political ideology. We consider this live performance incident of the singer a stupid provocation, that was already punished years back. Everyone has a right to change their opinion or to mess something up and change his ways afterwards. A lifetime persecution is an instrument of undemocratic regimes. The band has been claiming not to be political act since 2008 and has apologized for the incident several times. Nine years after we came to believe that this was a one-off foolishness and we've decided to give TAAKE a chance to play Brutal Assault 2016. If you don't believe in their reforming, we ask you to understand our stance. The motto of the festival is still against violence and intolerance and this will remain.
