BRUTAL ASSAULT 2024 - Second Line-Up Addition Brings Strong Returns


It's taken a decade, but Brutal Assault's line-up finally welcomes mournful kings MY DYING BRIDE and one of doom metal's key bands. It took even year longer for Swedish veterans VOMITORY to return to Josefov, and after 12 years they have a new album. Also returning to the walls of the fortress are grindcoreers TERRORIZER, who will be playing "World Downfall", one of the most iconic records of the genre, this summer with David Vincent and Pete Sandoval!

Also returning among the walls of the 18th century fortress are progressive Ukrainians JINJER with their femme fatale Tatiana Shmayluk, Irish atmospheric instrumentalists GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT, and essential death metallers INCANTATION, whose music has inspired much of the old school death metal revival in recent years.

But enough of the comebacks, half of the festival's varied line-up is made up of premiere acts. These will be played in the current addition by Americans NECROT, who are bringing to the surface what they enjoyed about death metal in the 90s, and progressives BORN OF OSIRIS, who have contributed to the technicization and progression of metalcore and its transformation into deathcore. The festival will once again be held in Josefov in the 18th century military fortress in the second week of August from 7 to 10 August 2024 and will feature about 130 bands from all over the world.

New bands: Born Of Osiris, God Is An Astronaut, Incantation, Jinjer, My Dying Bride, Necrot, Terrorizer, Vomitory.
