Le fest annonce un total de 130 groupes pour la prochaine edition sur 4 jours et 5 scenes.
Ca va etre la guerre!
Après on est déjà techniquement sur 5 scènes, si on compte la scène dans la caserne qui fait 2 concerts par jour et la scène ambient en face du ciné. Est-ce qu’ils comptent comme ça ou ils ont rajouté une vraie scène en plus ?
Bonne question mais il n’y a pas plus de détail sur l’image promo qui a été posté.
Non non c’est celles qui sont déja en places.
Les orgas parlent d’une grosse annonce jeudi :frotte:
Pleymo ?
Mystic Circle ?
Tu dis Pleymo mais je regarderais peut-être de loin si ils étaient à l’affiche.
Le 1er en entier et je viens :coluche:
J’ai déjà vu 2 fois :hass:
T’es chaud, bob… J’ai pas réécouté le premier depuis des lustres et j’imagine qu’en live ils font surtout leurs albums pop et peut-être le second qui les a fait explosé.
GOJIRA, TESTAMENT, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, GRAVEYARD AND MANY MORE!
We are thrilled to announce probably the biggest bands update accross different genres. To spice things up we are welcoming back technical death metal powerhouse Gojira, one of extreme prog’s modern leading lights.
Also thrash metal Titans Testament are returning to BA, the band, that reigned the genre throne with the latest album Brotherhood of the Snake. Speaking of veterans, we are also happy to welcome classic heavy metal juggernaut Armored Saint this time with former Anthrax member John Bush as well as mighty Peter Tägtgren with his melodic industrial-metal alter ego Pain.
Get your bandanas ready, since Suicidal Tendencies are coming to Josefov, skateboard anthems factory with monstrous bass lines and the one and only drummer, that makes hardcore thrash legends even more killer.
Who’s responsible for crossover thrash tsunami few years ago? Blame Municipal Waste for sure aka let’s remind those times when Cryptic Slaughter, D.R.I. or Attitude Adjustment ruled stages. A soupergroup Act Of Defiance consisting of former Megadeth members will give us a lesson about true heavy/thrash metal riffing.
Fans of golden rock era could appreciate Swedish act Graveyard, the one and only band, which was able to resurrect faithfully the best rock vibes of 1960s and 1970s.
Mexican drug lords Brujeria are coming once again to show us grindcore / death metal Macarena. Polish school of blackened death metal will be represented by AZARATH.
British Dragged Into Sunlight relentlessly push boundaries of black metal, post-metal and sludge to new extremes with a huge wall of amps and extreme decibels of anger and despair. Belgian beast Wiegedood with members of AmenRa, Oathbreaker or Rise and Fall will show us a merciless black metal storm.
Hardcore lineup getting stronger with uncompromising INTEGRITY, a classical Clevo band from the dark side of hardcore that began to put metallic sound into the genre. Another hardcore punk veterans Terror are also coming to the fortress. Meanwhile, Canadian AngelMaker is the new predatory pike in the deathcore pond.
Mouais, des trucs sympas, mais pas la grosse trique non plus. J4ai mis les noms en gras, parce qu’avec tous les noms rajoutés, on pourrait s’imaginer des choses 
Du lourd !
Ca le fait.
BLACKENED FRIDAY UPDATE!
Even though we are not done with the genre yet, there is no salvation for black metal fans not having a BA 2018 ticket already. Here comes the darkest bill update of them all.
Marduk Official will once again perform their sinister soundtrack to war consisting of a relentless barrage of high-speed-drumming, raw and aggressive riffs and hateful roars and screams of agony. More than 25 years of black metal history collide with eons of devastation and destruction amongst human race and the result is an ugly and furious black metal with typical MARDUK trademark.
One of the most unique entities the metal underground has birthed in years comes from pagan traditions of Swiss mountains. Proudly and resolutely a duo, BÖLZER are using the barest essentials of voice, guitar, and drums and yet manage to create one of the densest, most world-eating sounds around.
Given Håvard Ellefsen status as a founding member of Emperor, we simply have to place him in this blackened batch… As many of you know, Mortiis will be playing the first era set this summer and the atendees of Brutal Assault won’t miss it! The same goes for Austrian necrodaemon flehscult desecrators Belphegor, whos presence at our festival was long overdue.
From the deepest womb of South American underground we shall summon forth the flaming black death metal beast of WRATHPRAYER in one of their rare apperances on European soil.
Malokarpatan offer a trip to the darkest corners of Eastern European folklore. Their music drinks deeply from the ancient well of Heavy Metal Wisdom, pushing forward a masterclass in timeless metal songcraft and epic storytelling alike whilst never losing the delirium-inducing iconoclasm the band made its foundation from day one.
Breaking a decade of silence, Arkhon Infaustus Official raise again from the shadows to finish their work and taking over the title of French most controversial metal act. Last but not least, Irish heathens Cruachan will demand blood for the Blood God with thier black folk metal!
:delarue:
Akercocke !!!
BANDS UPDATE WITH CANNIBAL CORPSE, MYRKUR, HELMET OR PALLBEARER
This time Brutal Assault goes deeper into the underground with another load of bands for the 2018 edition. Death metal fans can rejoice as we confirm Cannibal Corpse bringing their king size portion of guts, blood and death classics to BA once again. Also, we will welcome British progressive death / black act Akercocke a.k.a. reunited band releasing an excellent comeback album of jaw dropping magnitude.
Regarding classic stuff, Helmet with their trademarked groovy guitar riffs and unrestrained drums filled with easily recognizable voice of Page Hamilton will unleash their post hardcore whirlwind within the fortress for the first time.
Talking about darker stuff, Amalie Bruun’s Myrkur will perform with her atmospheric raw, dissonant blackened riffing combined with vocal efforts leaning closer to the earthy, doomish folk similar to Chelsea Wolfe. Pallbearer, probably the biggest Rush fans in the world, will carry their unique doom metal coffin to BA. And speaking of dark melancholic music, renowned Neurosis-like post hardcore cult Lvmen will perform their latest album Mitgefangen Mitgehangen.
Hardcore fans could appreciate H2O, unrestrained hardcore/punk act that blended Cro-Mags and Agnostic Front with punk drive of Token Entry. Speaking of comebacks, after six years we will welcome metal core whirlwind from Highlands called Bleed From Within. True thrashers will get E-FORCE, with former Voivod members.
Last but not least addition to the lineup? If you are into cold electro beats, then you would dig HORSKH, French duo beating up audience with brutal electro-industrial.
Cool pour Cannibal Corpse, Pallbearer et Helmet!
DANZIG AT BA! AND SEPULTURA, GOBLIN, AURA NOIR ON THE BILL!
This year, Glenn Danzig will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the formation of his namesake band after involvement with horror-punks the Misfits and gothic hard rockers Samhain. The celebration will take form of a limited number of special shows including debut performance of Danzig at Brutal Assault!
You know it’s Danzig the moment you hear him. Due to his ingenuity, horror and punk formally collided with The Misfits’ genesis in the 70’s and early 80’s. Danzig vision for Samhain impacted the landscape of extreme music, fortifying the crossroads between heavy riffs and occult imagery so prevalent these days. And then came Danzig, where the bluesy swagger and classic Danzig howls cemented his legacy with hits like Mother or Twist of Cain.
The phenomenon of Sepultura comes back to BA again! For over thirty years Sepultura has been delivering their very own blend of death metal, hardcore, thrash, punk and tribal music with astonishing passion. What had begun in Belo Horizonte in 1984 soon turned into a metal hurricane of threatening proportions and has taken on undreamt-of dimensions since the enlistment of American vocalist Derrick Green in 1998. You simply have to experience the surge of energy Sepultura delivers live to understand the undying loyalty this cult act enjoys from the fans worldwide. Sepultura will also be our substitute for Testament who cannot unfortunately make it in the end.
Other spectacular addition to the lineup we are extremely proud of comes from Italy in the form of Goblin - Claudio Simonetti’s. One of the most fascinating prog rock bands of all times has first drawn attention of the whole world with their collaboration with prolific giallo horror filmmaker Dario Argento on his 1975 flick Profondo Rosso (Deep Red). On the soundtrack to the movie GOBLIN took frenetic slices of King Crimson-esque jazz-rock and transformed them into their own blend of progressive music. Later-on with albums like Roller, soundtrack to George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead or especially the unholy cult of European prog rock Suspiria, GOBLIN have presented an ambitious affair that blends jazz, prog rock, and heavy metal into chilling and totally distinctive style that made them one of the most important bands of the progressive movement.
AURA NOIR [official] was formed in 1993 by Aggressor and Apollyon to pay homage to classic 80’s metal as Venom, Slayer & Kreator however in the end AURA NOIR [official] forged their own blend of black thrash that now spans five albums and secured AURA NOIR [official] their own place in the parthenon of Norwegian extreme metal.
Jasta – a solo project of Hatebreed vocalist and master of pumping motivational lyrics Jamey Jasta will perform its blend of hard rock and hardcore while death metal genre will be represented by local heroes Hypnos in its traditional form and upcoming young band from NYC Uncured, that is tuned to the progressive side of the thing with its combination of technical musicianship, brutal riffs, and melodic interludes.
Coffins from Tokyo, Japan will play their doom laden rotten death metal, scavenging the depths of evil and darkness. Their refreshing and mind-bending amalgamation of doom and death metal’s greatest moments will crush your souls.
The last two bands on the bill are Harakiri for the sky with their synthesis of post-rock textures and emotional rage of black metal and Austrian Insanity Alert enjoying beer drinking as well as crossover thrash in vein of S.O.D. or D.R.I.
Ils ont du oublier du texte, parce que dans la publication sur l’image on voit aussi Abysmal Grief, Hypnos et Uncured.
