Brutal Assault Announced The Daily Running Order!
Brutal Assault just announced their daily running order for this year’s festival recently and it’s officially time to get excited! What’s there to get excited about? Plenty…The sheer number of bands is mind-boggling, but not overwhelming. Most of the more well-known bands play at the main stages which are situated next to each other. You can literally bounce back and forth between these stages exclusively at time and guess what! There’s food and beverage stands (including adult beverages) just meters behind you so it’s super convenient to refresh and refuel without missing too much of what’s happening on stage.
Brutal Assault Daily Running Order
What bands am I most forward to seeing during this edition of Brutal Assault? Well, in no particular order, here’s a short list: Macabre, Warbringer, Static-X, Ministry, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Orange Goblin, Gutalax, Gojira, Zeke, Asphyx, Monolord, Gaerea, Tsjuder, Crypta, and Arthur Brown. This is just a sampling. There's so much variety in the line-up. There's something for everyone! I’ll probably destroy myself trying to get to everyone on my list, but there’s nothing that some sleep won’t cure.
The other thing I love about this festival is just walking around and looking at all the exhibits, merch tents, food stands, beer tents and all the band shirts that everyone is wearing. There’s so much to see and do other than watching bands. For some examples, there’s the Lemmy Shrine to pay tribute to, there’s pool tables, there’s a movie room and there’s a pseudo disco of sorts for EDM, there’s art exhibits. I can go on and on…
Even outside of the festival grounds, in the town that Brutal Assault takes place, Jaromer, turns into a pre and post festival party garden. There are some bars and cafes to mingle in addition to pop up beer booths and food stands that are usually cheaper than inside the festival grounds. Even the walk towards the festival entrance is a site to see! There are literally tents lining the sides of the road and there’s always shenanigans taking place in this makeshift tent city.
For those that are going this year, are you getting excited??? I am for sure! I believe that there are very few whole-festival tickets remaining, so if you’re planning on making the trip to the Czech Republic, you better jump on it now!
Brutal Assault will take place in the Czech Republic at the Josefov Fortress during August 6-9, 2025.
Festival passes are available HERE!

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum Tour, Movie Update
SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM, who some have called "the best progressive band since King Crimson," will head out on the road this July.
An update from the band reads: "SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM is hitting the Western roads of North America again in the first half of July, traveling up into Canada just in time for the 4th of July, and back down in to the States to watch the smoke and the hoopla clear, leaving us all yearning for a better anthem and perhaps a weekend class in the traditional clogging of the Sierras.
"Then we get busy planning to document our encounter with the Last Human Being in movie form (more about that as it falls deftly into place). We've recorded some sentimental ditties for this lonely creature, and are in the midst of penning a couple more as we get to know him better, as pathetic, and sad, and ultimately unknowable as he is.
"The Museum is in the midst of planning our next European tour, slated for April '09, centered around the Rock In Opposition Festival in France. That's the news from the curators of the Sleepytime Gorilla Museum."
The band released their third album, "In Glorious Times" (on THE END RECORDS), last spring.
You can watch the animated video for the song "Widening Eye" on YouTube or below. A video for the song "Helpless Corpses Enactment" is also on YouTube and below.

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum Film Video
Oakland, CA based avant-garde rockers SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM have posted the following updates:
"SGM has just finished making an incredibly beautiful and bizarre film to accompany "The Helpless Corpses Enactment" -- a song from the forthcoming record, with lyrics entirely from Finnegans Wake (James Joyce). With the help of countless people who gave their time and talents and resources, and with director Adam Feinstein and cinematographer Jeremiah Crowell at the helm (along with a volunteer crew of upwards of 30 people), we made what should have been a $100,000 film (yes....35mm film!) for a laughably small amount of money...in the mid-4-digits. We emptied pockets and dug deep into the endless wells of the debt machine to make this happen. we are, in fact, about $7,000 in the hole at the end of this unwieldy and exhilerating project. More...
