BRUTAL ASSAULT 2024 Announced More Then 80 % of the Lineup, New Bands

Brutal Assault has announced 84 % of the lineup! LAIBACH will be back on the Brutal stage, NEW MODEL ARMY, and JULIE CHRISTMAS will be coming for the first time. HATEBREED will celebrate their thirtieth year on stage, and other core acts will join them.

LAIBACH will return to the fortress this year with a special Opus Dei + The Greatest Hymns set to celebrate the remastering and re-release of the iconic 1987 Opus Dei album (featuring songs such as "Life is Life," "Leben heißt Leben," and "Geburt einer Nation"). In addition, the Slovenian band will play other important tracks that preceded this album, as well as include a few new surprises. As always, expect the unexpected from Laibach once again. 

Making their debut on the Brutal Assault stage are English rebels NEW MODEL ARMY and JULIE CHRISTMAS, former Battle of Mice/Made Out Of Babies vocalist best known for her work with Cult of Luna. While "The Bad Wife" separated her from the metal scene more than a decade ago, her collaboration with Cult of Luna on "Mariner" brought her back into the post-metal mainstream - and left no one in any doubt that her audience needed another round.

HATEBREED, an unstoppable hardcore force formed in Connecticut in 1994, will celebrate their thirtieth anniversary at Brutal Assault. From overseas, they bring their signature aggressive sound and intense live performance that blends elements of hardcore punk and metal.

The core line-up will also be expanded by French grind BLOCKHEADS, core with a western twist from SPIRITWORLD and modern post-apocalyptics HUMANITY'S LAST BREATH.

BLOCKHEADS, HATEBREED, HUMANITY’S LAST BREATH, JULIE CHRISTMAS, LAIBACH, NEW MODEL ARMY, SPIRITWORLD
