Brutal Assault 2020 confirmed new names!

Brutal Assault is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2020 and that must mean the event will pull out some great things to make the metal party complete. They just revealed a bunch of freshly confirmed bands. But there were already a couple of names known before:

The metal diva MYRKUR had to cancel her appearance this year due to her pregnancy and her show was cut short by the fire fighters’ intervention the year before. Next year will be the year, when you will finally be able to enjoy her show to the full! The true Norwegian avant-garde masters MANES also had to cancel due to health issues last year and BA can confirm, that they will present you their vision of rock, electronic and metal fusion in 2020.

ASPHYX shall return and the legendary voice of Martin van Drunnen will resonate through the walls of our fortress alongside the pure death metal that ASPHYX have been executing since 1987. Next band on the list shall rise the BPM considerably. DARK FUNERAL will present the Swedish way of blasting yet melodic black metal.

More good news on the way and inbound from Canada – for the first time ever – you will face the evil invaders with malicious intent as the legendary RAZOR will violently restitute the reign of shotgun justice over the domain of speeding thrash metal! This legendary band toured the world with Slayer or Motörhead but never betrayed the underground spirit. Get ready for pure 80s hostilities!

The 80s have also spawned death metal and one of its pioneers, who were the first to introduce keys and space themes into the genre. Mike Browning now resurrects the original NOCTURNUS vibe and continues the spirit of „The Key“ in acclaimed album from 2019 „Paradox“. Witness NOCTURNUS AD seizing the throne!

To fully appreciate life, you also need to be aware of death. And nobody can bestow upon you the funeral atmosphere better than EVOKEN, the forerunners of the funeral doom genre. The last band you are already aware of are HENTAI CORPORATION, representing the local scene. Their eccentric mix of crossover rock’n’roll with bizzare pop-rock and lively shows are a celebration of life, coming from the exactly opposite direction than the band above.

And now let’s move to the fresh signings! Nothing is gonna revive Dimebag or Vinnie Paul…BUT we still have Phil and he is buried under requests to get the fans some taste of the good ol‘ times. Now he has finally granted the fans their wish and BA can hereby confirm, that Brutal Assault 2020 will host PHILIP H. ANSELMO and THE ILLEGALS playing a PANTERA set! Get ready for „Mouth for War“, „Broken“ or „Walk“ and other immortal classics!

The Canadian pioneers of deathcore DESPISED ICON shall also return with their double vokill dictate and cannonball force of their metal-hardcore mix! Pure pressure, blasting drums and short ripping songs, that is one of the best bands in today’s grindcore, WORMROT from Singapore. See them once and become an instant believer!

Brutal Assault brings you hardcore attitude… and ATARI TEENAGE RIOT bring you digital hardcore! Come to reset your chip with their revolting unrestrained energy and tekk-rythmics!

And with the last band on the announcement they are returning to the point where it all started for many of us back in 1982. Building up steam – nuclear screams / warheads are ready to fight! Black leather hounds – faster than sound / metal our purpose in life! You got it right, they are back and you shall lay down your soul to the gods rock’n’roll on the altar of VENOM!

More updates will be coming in the nearby future, stick with GRIMM to stay up to date!
