OEF 2023: more bands added!

ANGEL CITY FIRES THE GRINDCORE PROJECTILE!!!


Yes, yes. Los Angeles, California, USA, the city where everyone wants to live, is bombing us!!! After great bands like Nausea and Excruciating Terror, this city of angels has unleashed an incredible madness, SHITBRAINS!!! 

The duo of Emi and Anthony drive it in the best way possible with a crushing sound, stop and go style and throat rasps.

Formed in 2014, SHITBRAINS have released several split singles, the latest with our homegrown act Controlled Existence is a fucking blast!!! They will be at Obscene Extreme as well as Europe for the very first time in 2023 so definitely don't miss it!!! This is going to hurt!!!

 

WHITE LINE OF THRASH PUNK!!!


We never get tired of Latin America and its bands, so here we have another band from these parts and that is the Chilean trio of antifa thrash punks EVASOR!!! Rough, brutal ride of mix of thrash and punk, very catchy, just right for the moshpit at the Battlefield!!! 

EVASOR is a relatively young band, formed in 2019, but their angry style, which goes hand in hand with great musicianship, makes of them the great promise for the future.

Their EP " Cocaina Vegan" is a fucking proof to that. EVASOR will be touring Europe in 2023 and it's great to have David, Pablo and José coming to play for the first time at the Battlefield!!! Let's give them a warm welcome!!!


 

40 YEARS FULL OF RAGE!!!

RAW POWER, the longest-running band in the history of Italian Hardcore/Punk and with no doubt the most influential and credited of all. 

Delivering full on energy, aggressive Hardcore since 1981, their formula has become a real trademark: fast blistering drums, inhuman 6 string execution and rabid vocals combined with the screaming mad assault of songs such as “Fuck Authority”, “Raw Power” and “Don’t Let Me See It” that gave a vital input to tons of other like minded speed/HC maniacs to come in later years (in fact bands like KREATOR, NAPALM DEATH, HELLNATION, DECEASED, CRIPPLE BASTARDS and many more paid homage to them including RP covers on their records..).

They were the first Italian HC band touring the USA, and the one that brought Italian Hardcore on the international music map. Over their 40-year career RAW POWER have shared the stage with some of the most important bands of the punk scene, hardcore and metal world: Dead Kennedys, GBH, Corrosion of Conformity, Suicidal Tendencies, Motorhead, Cro Mags, Sick of it All, Agnostic Front, Circle Jerks, Scream, Adolescents, Rancid, Poison Idea, Slayer, Venom, DRI, to name but a few, and also in 1985 in a small club in Seattle, Guns N Roses a still unknown band open for one of their shows!!!

 

AVERNAL - Death metal avalanche rolling in from Argentina!!!

AVERNAL is one of the pioneering extreme metal acts in the Argentinian region of Buenos Aires. The band was formed in 1993 playing originally an old-school death metal later evolving into a perfect combination of death metal and death & roll mixed with heavy grooving parts and dark melodies. 

They released their debut album AVERNAL back in 1997 and their last eight album called "Tzompantli" in 2020. All of the band’s lyrics are done in Spanish and they are typical for the Latin American bands – about rebellion against a corrupt society, politics and death.

Let‘s celebrate the 30-year anniversary of AVERNAL at OEF. Réquiem por los rebeldes es un réquiem por la muerte - Requiem for the rebels is a requiem for death – AVERNAL!!!

 

YOUR BODY NEEDS ANOTHER DANCE LESSON AND THAT'S WHEN THE MASTERS COME IN HANDY. WELCOME PORTUGAL'S SERRABULHO BACK ON THE OEF BOARDS!!!

After six years, the self-proclaimed founders of Happy Grind return. 

The kings of happy rhythms, confetti, inflatable toys, crazy dance figures, but also proper gore grind blended with all forms of extreme music. This band knows exactly how to throw the best party, their show is from start to finish an ultimate dance affair that sets no limits and gets even the dead moving.

Those who saw their last show at OEF in 2016 know exactly what we are talking about... and those who didn't, should start looking around for new dancing shoes, because the current ones will be totally worn off at Trutnov Battlefield to the pleasant rhythms of this band. SERRABULHO are back and we can't wait to dance together!

 

FAREWELL TO THE QUEEN AND HER THRASH DOGS!!!

And here we have the headliner of Wednesday's OEF "Old School Metal Forever" program and it's none other than the incredible 41 year old German thrash machine HOLY MOSES!!! 

Yes, exactly the HOLY MOSES that were formed in 1981 and have legendary albums like " Terminal Terror" or "The New Machine Of Lichtenstein" to their credit. With this performance full of old school hits, although it will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the festival, we will have to swallow a bittersweet pill, because HOLY MOSES have announced for 2023 both the release of the new, but definitely last album "Invisible Queen" and unfortunately the last year that HOLY MOSES will be actively performing!!!

So here you have one of the last chances to see live this foursome led by the uncrowned queen of thrash metal Sabina Classen!!! Surely you remember the hurricane when HOLY MOSES played the Battlefield in 2017!!! The dogs stayed on the chain then, but this time the dogs will surely break loose!!! And we will be there!!!

 

LUCIFER'S BLACK BATTALION!!!


This gang will surely be the blackest acquisition of Obscene Extreme Festival 2023!!! LUCIFUGE is coming to us from Bremen, Germany with huge rumble!!! 

The quartet of black riders, formed in 2016, around the main brain of the band Equinox, swears to an absolutely hellish mix of old school styles of black, thrash with a dash of raw crust punk!!! It's like being run over by a locomotive with the dirtiest engine full of black soot, that's how punchy LUCIFUGE's music is!!!

At OEF we have put LUCIFUGE in the Wednesday "Old School Metal Forever" program, where they will really stand out. For every fan of old school metal this is a must!!! Hellish force on the Obscene Extreme boards!!! It's going to be a ride that even the Trutnov dragon will prefer to crawl into his cave!!!

 

SPEED, THRASH AND HEAVY METAL MANIA!!!

If it's an old school ride, then at least it's on a proper heavy steed!!! Canadian metal bards EXCITER will grace us with their first visit to Obscene Extreme!!! 

Yes, EXCITER, who have legendary albums like "Heavy Metal Maniacs" or "Violence & Force" on their sleeves and who have been pushing their metal car since 1978, which will make them one of the oldest bands ever to play OEF!!! And not only that, because EXCITER has been and undoubtedly still is a huge inspiration for bands in the speed/thrash scene everywhere!!!

In an almost original line-up, with singing drummer Dan Beehler and bassist Allan Johnson joined by guitarist Daniel Dekay in 2018, EXCITER will show us their legendary energy show!!! And they will do it on Wednesday at the Old School Metal Forever program, as one of its headliners!!! There will be headbanging!!! There will be Thrash!!! There will be Speed!!! So what do you expect, Heavy Metal Maniac???

 

ATTACK OF THE CHAOTIC KAMIKAZES!!!

It's great that for the next edition of Obscene Extreme we can announce again a great band from the land of the rising sun, Japan. 

Old friends SPEED!!! NOISE!!! HELL!!!, who for the second time at the Trutnov Battlefield will unleash their hellishly energetic cocktail of noisy hardcore/noise punk, whose intensity and speed is like the whizzing Shinkansen!!!

To all extreme music connoisseurs, SPEED!! NOISE!!! HELL!!! is well known, after all the name of frontman Yoshio is synonymous with legends like Disclose or Conga Fury and that's saying something!!! So, let's wait and see what these kamikaze pilots will throw at us this time. Chaos 100% guaranteed!!!
