Breaking the monotony and moving along doesn't always mean victory, but SCHIZOGEN hit the nail on the head and opened up new door in the future with the hallucinogenic blends of technical brutality.
Progressive brutal death with a touch of GORGUTS is like being born for Willowtip records and I'm already looking forward to their wild, no-rules set! And why should this band perform at Obscene? Maybe it's the ferocity oozing from every cell of their newer work?? I'm not worried in the slightest that they won't bring you to your knees!!!
Italian gore grind bulldozer returns to the boards that mean the world!!!
After six years, Italian matadors, GUINEAPIG, return to our fest, reaping well-deserved success with their new album Parasite.
Now it's the right time for the Battlefield to go down under the pressure of their uncompromising music and for all the dancers to get their most needed dose from the most competent ones!
Get ready for a hefty portion of the finest and most massive gore grind, because this Italian trio know exactly what they're doing and know exactly the way you like it!!!
THE RETURN OF BULLDOZER WITH AN OLD SCHOOL SET ALL DEDICATED TO THE FIRST TWO ALBUMS!!! CLASSIC OLD SCHOOL ITALIAN SPEED/THRASH!
Italy's undisputed lords of old school speed thrashin' metal are back, ready to set the flames of wrath and evil on the OEF stage... the one and only: BULLDOZER!!
This time they're coming with a special threat: their set will be entirely dedicated to the first two classic albums "The Day of Wrath" and "The Final Separation" seeing the legend of AC Wild delivering his insane malevolence on bass&vocals as he did with the original line-up back in 1984-1986.
With a career spanning the past 40 years, BULLDOZER are undoubtedly one of the leading names in the history of Italian metal. Their early works are total classics of blackened evil metal taking the rawest school of VENOM and MOTÖRHEAD to an unebelievably powerful and wicked sonic impact, bearing the malevolent flame of "Black Metal" and "Welcome to Hell" and injecting it with a renewed intensity. For anyone that worships the early releases from Venom, Bathory and Sodom - this is pure fuel for headbanging 'til self-decapitation... WELCOME DEATH!!!
THE TOMB OF ROUGH AND FIERCE THRASH IS OPEN!!!
Fast, furious and energetic!!! From the Norwegian forests comes to us a thrash metal hydra called INCULTER!!!
This is really no idyll, but a honestly mastered craft of this ultimate quartet of thrashers. INCULTER doesn't show us anything new under the sun, but every thrash heart must exult when listening to their songs, because everything we love is there in spades!!!
No modernity, but sharpened riffs in frenetic rhythm of drums with great solos, all in the spirit of old school eighties!!! INCULTER was formed in 2013, so at OEF these youngsters will celebrate ten years of existence and according to the latest news they are working on the successor to their great album "Fatal Visions". This time dear friends, on the Battlefield speed will win!!!
INFINITE SPACE OF DEATH METAL!!!
Death metal can be all sorts of things and we all know that. Old school, new school, mixing styles and in this infinite space, the INCARCERATION appears!!! Death metal that reaches into all corners of the extreme!!!
You can hear a lot of emotions in it, and how could you not, when INCARCERATION was formed in 2010 in Brazil, a country where hot blood is abound!!!
But the main brain of the band, Daniel, moves to Hamburg, Germany and this gives INCARCERATION the stamp of a European band. These four guys don't really produce classic death metal, but the hardness, speed and determination of this music is truly old school!!! So let's go for this wild blood...INCARCERATION!!!
FINALLY BRUTAL DEATH METAL LITURGY!!!
After all the mishaps of this year and the cancellation of PYREXIE's trip to the Battlefield, we can announce that these guys will show up in full force at the Battlefield in 2023!!! Exclusive show for OEF 2023!!!
PYREXIA is one of the founding bands of this genre, a true legend of brutal death metal and they will come to show us all why they are rightfully recognized as one of the crucial bands in their extreme genre!!! With iconic guitarist Chris Basile (Catastrophic) at the helm, these killers got their act together back in 1990 and even a line-up change hasn´t allowed them to slack off in what they do so well!!!
Destroying everything alive with the help of their brilliant brutal music!!! Look forward friends, to uncompromising dictation by the sharpest ones!!! The battlefield will shake in its foundations!!!
BACK IN THE GOLDEN AGE OF THRASH METAL!!!
For all fans of real thrash metal we have a real treat!!! Norwegian trio NEKROMANTHEON is heading to Obscene Extreme festival for the first time!!! For those who love the frantic and aggressive tones of total thrash metal madness, NEKROMANTHEON is a must.
The boys will take us back to the golden age of thrash metal when Kreator, Sodom or Destruction ruled Europe!!! Just listen to their latest album "Visions of Trismegistos" from 2021 and you will have no doubt who holds the scepter of European thrash metal!!! Death to fake metal!!! This is NEKROMANTHEON!!! Thrash the trash!!!
CRUST WAR TANK CRUSHES!!!
The world is going down, and a great soundtrack to that fall is brought to us by Canadian crust dogs COLLAPSED!!! Because when this quintet push into the instruments, the walls come crashing down!!!
Brutal guitar and bass tones backed by a relentless d-takt drum beat and a voice from beyond the grave, all in the spirit of the 90's D.I.Y. scene makes COLLAPSED one of the few great bands among the newcomers.
In fact, these guys only formed in 2018, but they already have a full-length album and several other releases to their credit!!! For those whose heart beats to the rhythm of d-beat, splashed with a bit of Swedish death metal, COLLAPSED will be a treat!!! This will be a war dance to the last breath!!!
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCALPEL!!!
2019 has been a special year for these underground medics. A series of unfortunate events befell their former practice Thanatology, which you may have seen operating in 2018 on the Battlefield, and forcing it to abruptly close its seedy doors.
The remaining doctors, however, could not be plucked from the world of medicine by a strong need to continue their work. Plans quickly emerged to create a new practice called UNIDAD TRAUMA, where the four young doctors could satisfy their desire to explore new medical knowledge.
We will be able to see a short report of their surgeries on the Obscene Extreme Festival boards!!! Precise scalpel cuts in the rhythm of grind death fury is exactly what UNIDAD TRAUMA will bring us!!! All the rest of us in moshpit are on the other side of the scalpel!!!
POWER VIOLENCE SHINKANZEN!!!
This is the speed of Japanese Shinkanzen. American band IXIAS is the representative of the most furious style, full of incredible speed, stop and go twists and cacophonous melodies, Power Violence!!!
A very young band that was formed in 2018, originally as a tribute to the band Fear of God, but here without fail, the student has surpassed his teacher!!! The insane musical carnage of IXIAS is perfect!!!
Even though IXIAS have gone through quite a big members changes, in a short time, during the covid they managed to prepare their debut album "tinge.", a brutal ride in the greatest extreme and with this they fit the role of another great band for the Obscene Extreme stage!!! Pay attention, because IXIAS will grind through really fast!!!
WELCOME THE VETERANS OF SWEDISH D-BEAT/THRASH/DEATH METAL MADNESS!!!
After 32 prolific years and eleven(!) successful albums, the Swedish D-Beat/Thrash/Death Metal veterans THE CROWN will finally debut at the Battlefield!
THE CROWN got it all: the early 90s death metal ethos merged with Bay Area thrash sharp riff-attack, haunting Gothenburg melodies, everything boosted by our beloved Scandinavian D-Beats and the hard-rocking heart of Motörhead and Venom!
With that said, it was about time to have THE CROWN at Obscene Extreme, and the time finally has come! Let the hammering begin!!!
STRAIGHT TO DEATH METAL HELL!!!
Norway. For fans of the extreme in music, black metal springs to mind, but we're going to introduce you to a band dedicated to the death metal craft.
OBLITERATION from the city of Kolbotn, who have been around since 2004, serve us a good portion of blasphemic death metal, where their music does not lack fantastic doom sections, fucking evil riffs played at a ripping speed and really hellish vocals!!! There is a certain blasphemous atmosphere in OBLITERATION's music, not unlike some of their urban contemporaries Dark Throne, but organic death metal rolls over everything in the end!!!
Check out their latest release "Cenotaph Obscure" and hear for yourself. And at Obscene Extreme we will see it for the first time in the Czech Republic!!! OBLITERATION will take us straight to death metal hell!!!
