There are not many Canadian bands to have played at OEF but a couple of them did perform in front of the insane audience. However, it has never been such a legend having been around in the scene since 1979!!! 

It is a pleasure to announce this band! Legendary iconic old school grind core blast from Pardubice. Who would not know NEEDFUL THINGS! 

Another representative of the mix between death and thrash metal are the veterans from the USA, SOLSTICE!!! 

Another of an array of the iconic European grind core bands are the well-known ENTRAILS MASSACRE. Hometown of Rostock and the date of birth 1990! And yes, these grind veterans are one of the bands that played at the very first volume of the Obscene Extreme Festival.

This Brazilian hardcore/punk legend will be celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. What can be better than celebrating with us live at this year's Obscene Extreme Festival 2018?! 

SHAMPOON KILLER!!! What a self-explanatory name. The enemies of a disco dancing after whose concert there will surely be blood on the dance floor. 

For the fourth time already the German experimenters called LE SCRAWL will come to dash us to pieces! Grind core charge with the elements of jazz, ska and some other musical subgenres, underlined by great saxophone, is what makes LE SCRAWL well-known all over the world!!! 

We are happy to introduce the headliner of the Wednesday programme or BACK TO 1999 OEF PARTY now!!! If you know the history of the OEF, it is clear that it can not be anything else than the legendary Belgian mince core hammer of AGATHOCLES!!! 

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.
