And some are even returning, which is the case of the grindy ANARCHUS, who return to annual Obscene Extreme after six years!!! One of the oldest grindcore bands on the South American continent, they were formed in 1987 and since then, their music hasn't changed, maybe they've just become better masters of their instruments!!!
ANARCHUS play really straight forward grindcore, no frills and as raging as only South American bands can!!! Life in a country ruled by corruption and narco cartels is not be real fun!!! This will not be a white line fever but a grindcore hell!!!
ANALEPSY - A NEW BEGINNING OF INHUMAN CRYOTECHNOLOGY!!!
The heavyweight slamming/brutal deathers with an international base will land at OEF for the very first time to win for sure legions of new fans with their charm and extreme execution of their production, while the old ones will explode with happiness reading this info!!!
Formed in 2013 in Portugal, the band has two full-length albums under their belt so far, in addition to EPs, splits and singles, and are currently smashing stages with great success. They've survived line-up upheavals that thankfully haven't caused self-destruction.
Today, only half of the original Portuguese horde is left and since 2020 the untamable madman Calin from Romania has been mixing concrete behind the microphone with guitar in his hand. Another reason not to miss OEF 2024 is ANALEPSY!!!
THE LAST ATTACK OF THE BRAZILIAN RATS!!!
Another fucking strong caliber for the annual Obscene Extreme!!! For the fourth and final time, these legends of world hardcore/thrash crossover will come to show us how to do it!!!
We're talking of course about none other than RATOS DE PORAO, a band that has been around since 1981, influenced a bunch of extreme bands all over the world and not only with this they really deserve their legend status.
The fury that RATOS DE PORAO have in their music is exactly what we know from bands from Latin America. No one else can do it like that and we are very happy that RATOS DE PORAO chose OEF to perform for their announced LAST European tour ever. They are big fans of the festival and that makes us really happy. So don't miss the chance to see these guys again, because these crossover rats may never come out of the basement again!!!
ATOMIC THRASH SPEEDTRAIN!!!
Another monster is coming to us from Slovakia. A great thrash metal quartet with a slight blend of the best rock'n'roll, ACID FORCE!!!
They have been going strong since 2014 and are one of the driving forces of the metal scene in our eastern neighbours. Mature metal fire with awesome riffs that you will remember even after years, cannonade of drums and predatory, virtuoso solos, that's the brand of ACID FORCE!!! The guys who were in total fire for some time were stopped by covid and the departure of several members, but ACID FORCE rose from the ashes and with the incredible energy of splashing acid continue to do what they do best and that is absolute thrashing!!!
On the way with a new album, ACID FORCE will be one of the black horses of the annual Obscene Extreme 2024. Atomic energy and moshpit going 100 %!!!
THORACIC GRIND SURGEONS ARMED WITH TAIKO DRUMS KANDARIVAS FROM TOKYO TO TEAR THE OEF STAGE TO PIECES!!!
Formed in 2015 and taking their name from their hometown, Kanda City, in the heart of old Tokyo, KANDARIVAS delivered two albums and various singles and splits, leaving a strong mark in the whole Japanese grindcore scene.
Fronted by general thoracic surgeon Tomoki and mixing classic blasting assault with traditional taiko drums and an unmistakeable Japanese folklore vibe, KANDARIVAS stand out as a one of a kind band, sounding fresh and unique in their style.
Comparison can be made throwing in the mix Terrorizer, Macabre and Unholy Grave but KANDARIVAS is such a peculiar beast that has to be listened to, and seen, to believe! First ever European show!!!
DEATH GRIND MASSACRE AT FULL THROTTLE!!!
Next band for the annual Obscene Extreme festival, are Austrian high-octane grinders DISTASTE!!! A band that has come a long way and since 2000, they have matured like wine.
Their mix of death grind is performed at a hellish speed with a bone crushing sound, but the guys know exactly when to slow down and drop a good dose of melody into their brutal rattle.
On the way is their new album "Der Erbtraeger und das Fleisch",which will be released in October on German F.D.A. Records and which will surely grind us like beans in a coffee grinder!!! As well as their show at OEF. Here we will go full throttle!!!
