A big, big surprise and probably on one the biggest band in the OEF history and a real legend of the thrash metal genre. Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to announce the headliner of the Obscene Extreme Festival 2017, the American crossover/thrash mayhem, NUCLEAR ASSAULT. 

All of us know, of course, the band started after Danny Lilker's departure from nowadays world-famous Anthrax in 1984. Danny joined forces with another ex-member of Anthrax John Connelly on guitar and vocals as both of them wanted to play way more agressively than in their old band. After a few demotapes and a multirecord contract with Combat Records they had a solid line-up with Danny to torment four strings, John six and throat and two new members Anthony Bramante on guitar and Glen Evans on drums. Their albums like Game Over, Survive or Handle With Care are the gems of the genre and got the band an endless tour over the whole world with such bands like Agent Steel, Dark Angel, Testament or Exodus. NUKE went also through many break-ups  and reunions and so far their latest big album „Third World Genocide“ is from 2005. 

Some of you surely know that the last European NUKE's show was supposed to take place in Holland in December 2015, but as we all know Danny loves the atmosphere of Obscene Extreme Festival where he played for instance with Brutal Truth and other projects, so when we called him, he did not hesitate for long and confirmed, most probably, the very last NUKE's show on the European continent. Not only because of this but especially NUKE´s thrash/crossover raging music is the invitation for you to make a brutal moshpit under the OEF stage!!! HANG THE POPE!!!
