Brutal Assault 2025 – Day 1 set the fortress ablaze right from the start. From 3 Inches of Blood, Skálmöld and Fleshgod Apocalypse to the chaos of Inter Arma, the industrial punch of Static-X, and the psychedelic darkness of Oranssi Pazuzu, the first day was packed with highlights. Add in Frayle, Dying Fetus, Ruïm, Kerry King and Rotting Christ, and it was a perfect start of this year’s edition!
