Brutal Assault, the summer open air extreme metal festival in the Czech Republic, is thickening more and more the lineup; among some of the newly added bands I want to point out Russian folkmetallers Arkona and for those who like viking metal Einherjer; but above all the historic Swiss band Samael. Here below I quote the press release by Brutal Assault.

Let’s take a look on what’s going on at Brutal Assault camp! Swedish legends Clawfinger has disbanded after their last BA appearance in 2013 and ever since they only did a handful of shows,  returning to some of the very special places they played during their career. This also stands true for Brutal Assault 2017!

The Russian pagan’s Arkona founded exactly 15 years ago by the leader and main composer Masha Arkhipova represents the cream on top folk metal based on typicaly slavic melodies and pagan mysticism. It’s been mainly their powerful performance including great front(wo)manship by Masha, that put Arkona on the map and currently the’re re-releasing their re-worked debut album to celebrate their anniversary.
Born of Osiris is also a cream on top band but of completely different genre, being fine representatives of progressive death metal / core branch, leading the pack towards new a new horizons.

Horizons are also the direction set by the viking ships of Einherjer, the co-foudners of viking metal, who are also revisting their seminal debut album released in 1996. Gruesome on the other hand are quite far from inventing a genre of their own but what they do they do best in the world and that is bringing the spirit of Chuck Schuldiner and Leprosy era Death in general!

Malignant Tumour have recently celebrated 25 years on the scene by a new album with a simple title The Metallist! And they continue to spread their swinging earth-shaking rock’n’roll vibe with full force! Mourning Beloveth are fine Irish export and thus it seems their heavy, desperate and anguish inducing sound is a mandatory feature for them as it is for their fellow countrymen in the heavy music field.

The Lurking Fear is a band that you’ve probably haven’t heard about yet as they are still working on their debut 7‘‘ and album. The Lurking Fear plan to bring sheer, natural weirdness and horror back to the scene, as they want their death metal ugly, twisted and possessed. Why should you care? Well let’s take a look at the line-up!

Tomas Lindberg – vocals (At The Gates, Disfear, Skitsystem)
Jonas Stålhammar – guitars (God Macabre, Crippled Black Phoenix, Bombs Of Hades)
Fredrik Wallenberg – guitars (Skitsystem)
Andreas Axelsson – bass (Tormented, Disfear, ex Edge Of Sanity, ex Marduk)
Adrian Erlandsson – drums (At The Gates, The Haunted, ex Paradise Lost, ex Cradle Of Filth)  

We are also very excited that Swiss masters of darkness Samael will celebrate their 30 year anniversary with a special set at Brutal Assault 2017, alongside French purveyors of macabre black death with atmospheric planes Svart Crown.
