Brutal Assault's First Day Was Almost Perfection
Brutal Assault. Have you heard of it? It’s one of the largest summer metal festivals in all of Europe. There are upwards of 150 bands that play touching on just about every heavy genre imaginable. It normally takes place during the first weekend of August and it always occurs on the grounds of an 18th century Czech military fortress located in Jaromer, Czech Republic.
Similar to Wacken, Hellfest and Graspop Metal Meeting, Brutal Assault has a very loyal contingent of fans that attend year after year from all over the globe. This was my fourth Brutal Assault and I don’t foresee myself taking a break from it anytime soon. This year’s line-up was fucking incredible. All my favorite genres were represented well and there were plenty of bands that I’ve never seen before that I was finally going to get to “check that box.”
I had nine bands marked for the first day of the four-day marathon and it began with the grindcore OGs, Terrorizer. I’ve seen them a couple of times before in different line-up variations but today’s with Pete Sandoval and David Vincent making up half of the original lineup was the best one yet. What made this set even better was they only played material from their classic masterpiece, “World Downfall.” If you were to ask me to describe what grindcore is with a single album, this would be it. Peering over at David Vincent from time to time, it’s apparent that he loves playing these songs. He just grooved to them the whole time I was there. I loved this current version of the band and I hope it continues to be a thing (R.I.P. Jesse Pintado).

David Vincent of Terrorizer
Next up was legendary Los Angeles thrashers, Hirax. I’ll preface this next part with that I’m kind of old. Not AARP old, but I think older than most of you that will read this report. There’s probably been no less than fifteen or so times that I could have seen Hirax during a span of 30 years and for whatever reason, I just never got around to it. That was embarrassing to write.
Today, I hated myself even more for taking that long. They were everything that I thought they would be, but so much better. Vocalist Katon De Pena truly enjoys being on stage and he is constantly engaging the audience. The crowd that was there during their set were hardcore fans and already knew their songs by heart. This was one of several “Wow!” moments for me during the entire festival. I’m so glad I got to finally experience Hirax and it won’t be thirty years before I see them next time!

Hirax
The next band on my list would play on the same stage after Hirax, but first it was time to refuel. Brutal Assault probably has the largest variety of victuals to choose from of any festival I’ve ever attended. There is something for everyone. Every dietary restriction imaginable is not an issue at Brutal Assault, you are covered. For my meal, I chose to go with what I call “Greek Lo Mein” but in actuality, it was gyro meat and noodles. However I describe it, it was carbs and meat. Just what I needed to get through the rest of the day/night.
The band Finntroll is an acquired taste. Their quirky take on blackened folk metal sets them apart from other bands that side on black or folk metal exclusively. Maybe it’s the prosthetic troll ears? Or, maybe it’s the upbeat, happy sounding riffing paired with scowling vocals? Finntroll’s sound skirts right down the middle of the two genres and it’s awesome. I’ve seen them twice before but this was my favorite set out of all of them. This stage (Obscure Stage) was too small for them in my opinion. There were people stretched out all the way to the where the festival grounds open up for the vending, portable bathrooms, and merch tents.

Deicide Decimates The Dome In Tufnell Park
Sometimes, to understand what makes something so beloved, you need to go back to the roots. Nowadays, death metal bands are ten a penny, very few of which offer anything worth listening to, much less anything original. There's definitely some good younger bands out there like Baest and Frozen Soul, but few will disagree; You can't beat the classics. In the grip of sunshine and hot weather, two things Britain is very unfamiliar with, London welcomed a band who was born in the heat and became one of death metal's true icons; Deicide. Having just released their latest album, "Banished By Sin," the Florida quartet were in town, fresh off of their performance at Bloodstock to bring their rabid fan base a healthy dose of blasphemy, antitheism and crushing tunes.
Unfortunately, a myriad of transport problems prevented me from getting to the venue when doors opened and checking out the first band Corpsing. I've no idea what they sound like, but it would have been nice to find out in person. However I did arrive shortly before the second band of the night, Burner, took to the stage, which was an interesting set in a way. Like a lot of bands in the modern scene, they're billed as "death metal/hardcore" but honestly, they're a deathcore band, like many other groups who use the double genre tag.
It has to be said that they do have a bit more going on than the standard deathcore fare however, with some cool grooves and riffs and there was certainly an audience for them at this show, enough to generate a decent mosh pit anyway. Sadly, there was also more than a few people in attendance who just took the piss out of them, sarcastically mimicking the vocalist's mannerisms throughout the set, while the rest of the crowd seemed pretty nonplussed. They're worth checking out if you're into deathcore and they probably would have gone down better supporting a different legend like Suffocation or Broken Hope, but when life gives you an opportunity you take it, so fair play to them.

Deicide Announces New Album Title
American death metal legends Deicide has announced that they have signed a short term deal with new record label Reigning Phoenix Music. The band are currently finishing work on the new album, their first with guitarist Taylor Nordberg (Inhuman Condition/ex Massacre.)
"With great pleasure and after several years of debate and consideration, I wish to announce the signing of a historic one album deal with the newly formed RPM for the development and marketing of the newest Deicide album, Banished By Sin. We look forward to working with all the talented hand-picked individuals that create RPM music and adding our latest accompaniment to the Deicide catalogue," said Glen Benton.
RPM's Gerardo Martinez comments: “We would like to welcome The Satan Spawns’ Deicide to RPM, and we cannot wait to release the very fitting new 13th chapter of their very successful and historied career! Many of us grew up in the original early death metal years and Deicide was in many people’s soundtracks. As for me, I ended up in the principal’s office in High School, for wearing the original Legion shirt as the back print was dangerous and controversial. Let’s bring some of that back!”
