FROM BLAST TO D-BEAT FOR THE SECOND TIME!!! One of the last bands we will welcome at Obscene Extreme in 2026 is this truly new band from Weert, Netherlands, OPSTAND. Although the term "new" is not entirely accurate, as this pack was formed on the ashes of the well-known grinders F.U.B.A.R.!!! So here we have five veterans of the extreme underground scene who have changed their ultra blast beats for aggressive and wonderfully rolling crust and d-beat tempos.

The more observant among you will surely remember that OPSTAND was supposed to play at last year's OEF, but an accident involving key member Luc ruined their performance. But OPSTAND are back after Luc's rehabilitation and ready to tear the Battlefield to pieces!!! So far, OPSTAND have only released the single "Afterlife," and damn, it's worth it, and there will definitely be some full-lenght record till their OEF performance. D-beat drums with great guitar riffs, full of anger but also with a strong dose of melody, is exactly what we can expect from OPSTAND. This is a great call for a wild mosh pit!!!
