From the UK we welcome for the first time Basement Torture Killings. These purveyors of snuff grind have been active since 2007 and have released 3 full lengths and several split CD's alongside bands such as Desecration and Holocausto Canibal whilst also forcing crowds across both the UK and Europe to bear witness to their murderous crimes.

Let us introduce to you further Mexican representatives of gore grind, a quartet called OXIDISED RAZOR!!! This name is certainly not unknown to you as they hit the OEF boards in 2009 already having performed a brutal gore show.

One of the newer Swedish acts but with experienced musicians. AXIS OF DESPAIR!!! Just in these days we recall the death of Mieszko, the grindcore legend and the legendary bandmaster of Nasum. 

All the fans of Scandinavian crust will be delighted. Though this band comes from Mexico it produces a high octane crust core soaked with the Scandinavian school.

Thanks to the fact that you bought a charity t-shirt at the festival or through the e-shop we were able to pass a nice amount of 124.239 CZK on to the Prague office in October.

A Brazilian hardcore legend that has not surprisingly performed in Trutnov at the Obscene Extreme Festival yet. It will probably be one of the last Brazilian underground legends we can strike from a list with a clear conscience. And who is that you are asking? ARMAGEDOM ALONE! 

This might be the oldest band ever to play at the OEF. The Finnish hardcore punkers called RATTUS mark 1978 as the year of inception!!! And nowadays they are undoubtedly the best-known name of the Scandinavian hardcore punk scene. 

Now, this gang will warm up all the Obscene Extreme Festival's visitors who love the genre diversity. Punk from Finland! What else we could wish for. These ladies and the gentleman will show you what it means Finnish raw punk live. 

Another special show for the OEF's 20th anniversary!!! Old friends of the festival, Polish SQUASH BOWELS, who played the first OEF in 1999 got once again together for the Obscene Extreme Festival after their break-up!!! 

The name of the following catch for the OEF 2018 evokes an open fridge with dead animals impaled on hooks and rotting flesh. DOBYTČÍ MOR in Czech or MURRAIN in English as you want!!! 

So this is a real grind mosh. If there is anyone around you who has not heard anything about the grind core style (is there anybody like this around you at all?), let them listen to any recording of this band and he or she will immediately understand. And what's that you will be playing? French hyperactive grind curettage called DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION.

What will you get when you join the members of the Swedish squads Anti Cimex, Slaktattack and Blisterhead??? A raw punk ride in a d-beat cadence called WOLFHOUR!!! These gentlemen united in 2013 with a single ambition to play raw punk the way only the Swedish know.

This band will surely wipe the whole Battlefield out!!! FORÇA MACABRA is a long-running Finnish grinder that crushes in thrash core style with infernal speed and quite some dose of punk ferocity. 

No one would have expected it but yes it is true. ISACAARUM will be there at OEF 2018!!! 

Not every band can describe their production as d-beat grind. One of them, however, is originally a Swedish/Finnish band AFGRUND to which this description fits absolutely perfectly. 

KRAANIUM, the guys who have chosen brutal slam death metal style, are heading our way from Norway, the land of black metal!!! Formed in 2001 they are one of the pioneers of the slam death metal genre. 

Not only the OEF celebrates but also this band that is tied to the festival since its inception will be celebrating their unbelievable 30 years in the extreme scene!!! Who else could we be talking about than about the Italian mobsters CRIPPLE BASTARDS???!!! 

Sold-out halls and stadiums, tens of thousands of miles in a van or a plane on tours, highly valued recordings, female fans throwing their underwear away, television, radio, documents, VIP boxes, scandals, luxury hotels, glory, success. Sex, drugs, alcohol and rock'n'roll. 

Hailing from the famous samba town on the river Tiete, Sao Paulo, we can welcome another legendary squad called LOBOTOMIA!!! It's almost unbelievable but these gentlemen started the band as early as in 1984!!!

Man! Harshness. This American grind core band will fucking kill it at the coming OEF 2018 apparently. And the squad that is spoken about? BRUCEXCAMPBELL. Fireball sound, grind fury, properly piggish rumble. If you know the bands like In-Disgust, P.L.F. or perhaps Excruciating Terror you'll surely know what to expec t.
