Once again the gates of Brutal Assault Festival located at the Josefov Fortress of Jaroměř and within the heart of Europe, Czech Republic, has opened.  The festival took date from August 6th to 10th with the line up of 130 bands.  The place and time is kind of sacred to me.  Usually, I would be looking forward to about two or three bands.  But during the festival I discovered another ten more favourites that I enjoyed and additionally more that I started to like. This is not even mentioning some other stuff that was happening.  One starts to think about cosmos games.

Brutal​ ​ Assault​ ​ music​ ​ festival​ ​ is​ ​ coming​ ​ back​ ​ to​ ​ Josefov​ ​ once​ ​ again​ ​ for​ ​ its​ ​ 23rd edition.​ ​ One​ ​ of​ ​ the​ ​ biggest​ ​ metal​ ​ festivals​ ​ in​ ​ Europe​ ​ has​ ​ confirmed​ ​ the​ ​ first​ ​ bands. The​ ​ complete​ ​ lineup​ ​ should​ ​ traditionally​ ​ include​ ​ more​ ​ than​ ​ a​ ​ hundred​ ​ bands​ ​ of various​ ​ extreme​ ​ genres.

Some​ ​ of​ ​ the​ ​ best​ ​ known​ ​ names​ ​ of​ ​ metal​ ​ extreme​ ​ returning​ ​ to​ ​ the​ ​ festival,​ ​ mentioned Behemoth,​ ​ At​ ​ The​ ​ Gates,​ ​ Ihsahn,​ ​ Unleashed​ ​ or​ ​ Broken​ ​ Hope​ ​ among​ ​ others.​ ​ Hardcore genre​ ​ this​ ​ time​ ​ is​ ​ represented​ ​ by​ ​ Converge,​ ​ Northlane​ ​ or​ ​ Full​ ​ of​ ​ Hell.

The​ ​ festival​ ​ in​ ​ the​ ​ middle​ ​ of​ ​ the​ ​ fortress​ ​ Josefov​ ​ has​ ​ traditionally​ ​ built​ ​ a​ ​ program​ ​ without emphasis​ ​ on​ ​ headliners.​ ​ “Dramaturgy​ ​ stands​ ​ on​ ​ a​ ​ balanced​ ​ lineup.​ ​ Increasing​ ​ attendance gives​ ​ us​ ​ feedback​ ​ that​ ​ fans​ ​ trust​ ​ the​ ​ festival,​ ​ “says​ ​ organizer​ ​ Tomáš​ ​ Fiala.

After​ ​ the​ ​ success​ ​ in​ ​ previous​ ​ years,​ ​ a​ ​ special​ ​ “fourth​ ​ stage”​ ​ should​ ​ return​ ​ this​ ​ year,​ ​ where experimental​ ​ and​ ​ ambient​ ​ music​ ​ will​ ​ be​ ​ played.​ ​ The​ ​ Art-Brut-All​ ​ Art​ ​ Exhibition​ ​ should​ ​ also​ ​ be a​ ​ traditional​ ​ part.

Brutal​ ​ Assault​ ​ is​ ​ one​ ​ of​ ​ the​ ​ biggest​ ​ metal​ ​ festivals​ ​ in​ ​ Europe.​ ​ It​ ​ was​ ​ created​ ​ in​ ​ the​ ​ mid-1990s as​ ​ a​ ​ small​ ​ event​ ​ in​ ​ Moravia​ ​ and​ ​ often​ ​ changed​ ​ its​ ​ location.​ ​ Breaking​ ​ point​ ​ came​ ​ in​ ​ 2006 when​ ​ 7,000​ ​ people​ ​ came​ ​ thanks​ ​ to​ ​ the​ ​ attractive​ ​ program.​ ​ Following​ ​ year​ ​ the​ ​ festival​ ​ moved to​ ​ Josefov,​ ​ where​ ​ it​ ​ stayed​ ​ until​ ​ today.​ ​ The​ ​ last​ ​ edition​ ​ of​ ​ the​ ​ festival,​ ​ which​ ​ was​ ​ sold​ ​ out​ ​ in presale​ ​ for​ ​ the​ ​ first​ ​ time​ ​ in​ ​ history,​ ​ attracted​ ​ 20,000​ ​ fans​ ​ from​ ​ around​ ​ the​ ​ world.
