Plunge into the depths where crushing weight meets chilling fragility. The latest Brutal Assault update expands the line-up with a total of 12 bands. From the nautical funerals of Ahab and the sludge anthems of the legendary Crowbar, to the post-metal filth of local icons LVMEN and the total sonic terror of Violent Magic Orchestra….
It is with great regret that we must announce Sisters of Mercy will not be performing at this year’s Brutal Assault. The cancellation is due to the band moving up the recording schedule for their new album. We sincerely apologize to all fans of these British icons; we are already in talks to bring them…

When Finnish visionaries Waltari released their album Yeah! Yeah! Die! Die! Death Metal Symphony in Deep C back in 1995, the music world stood in disbelief. Kärtsy Hatakka and his crew achieved the unthinkable—fusing crushing death metal with the grandeur of a symphonic orchestra and operatic vocals, long before such crossovers were even imagined by…

A hefty dose of death and thrash is here — we’re bringing you 12 bands oscillating between technical precision, sheer intensity, and raw brutality.

This American icon is impossible to simply describe or categorize—and that’s exactly what makes them one of the most entertaining, strangest, and most original phenomena on the metal scene. Formed in the mid-80s, their unique style feels as if it comes from an alternate universe where funk, metal, punk, avant-garde, and absurdity follow entirely different…
Drop the tune, put the bandana on and… boom! Big portion of core bands, exactly as we promised! We’ve already announced Body Count with Ice-T, but let’s remind them! The Swedish Clawfinger, Ratos de Porao from Brazil, and American legends Terror and H20 (go!) must not escape your attention either. But you definitely shouldn’t overlook…
