unnamed (6)

Four Year Strong have released a brand new video for ‘Learn To Love The Lie’ taken from their highly anticipated fifth full-length album ‘Brain Pain’ which will be released on 28th February via Pure Noise Records. This is the band’s first album since their self-titled release in 2015 and soon, fans will learn that it was worth every second of waiting.

“Learn to love the Lie was one of the first songs we wrote for Brain Pain. Its about being stuck in a mutually miserable relationship, but you’re both too much of a coward to leave. If you’re going to lie to yourself about being happy, you might as well learn to love it. Lets not kid ourselves…We’ve all been there.”  says Dan O’Connor

BRUTAL ASSAULT 2020 info 7


After announcement MERCYFUL FATE, here is update of another new bands playing in BA for this year.

Again, we shall see relatively new band to the genre, which draw power from the thrash metal roots. With strong message MUNICIPAL WASTE shall raise some pogo and hell. Another thrash act is M.O.D of Billy Milan.

For some “relaxation” RED FANG will give us some music dose of their addiitive stoner stuff.

DARKEST HOUR will be another representation of the modern metal. Staying in the moderna will be the place of FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE and their extensive content of death metal grinding stuff mixed with nice symphonic compositions. Another death metal will be presented by gory classic EXHUMED, punk stinking NECROT or cold and raw SOREPTION.

Similar to MERCYFUL FATE, PENTAGRAM with troublemaker Bobby Liebling will be one of the oldest existing bands of the festival… Their existence reaches to 1971 and they are one of the first bands which were derivates of BLACK SABBATH. Another band in VENOM, BATHORY or CELTIC FROST style is black metal of DENIAL OF GOD. Some more melodical approach will be given to us from Swedish VALKYRJA.
