For all fans of real thrash metal we have a real treat!!! Norwegian trio NEKROMANTHEON is heading to Obscene Extreme festival for the first time!!! For those who love the frantic and aggressive tones of total thrash metal madness, NEKROMANTHEON is a must.

After all the mishaps of this year and the cancellation of PYREXIE's trip to the Battlefield, we can announce that these guys will show up in full force at the Battlefield in 2023!!! Exclusive show for OEF 2023!!!

Death metal can be all sorts of things and we all know that. Old school, new school, mixing styles and in this infinite space, the INCARCERATION appears!!! Death metal that reaches into all corners of the extreme!!! 

Fast, furious and energetic!!! From the Norwegian forests comes to us a thrash metal hydra called INCULTER!!! 

Italy's undisputed lords of old school speed thrashin' metal are back, ready to set the flames of wrath and evil on the OEF stage... the one and only: BULLDOZER!!

After six years, Italian matadors, GUINEAPIG, return to our fest, reaping well-deserved success with their new album Parasite. 


In the turbulent waters of death metal and its even more extreme subgenres, Ukrainian schizophrenic band was born, went through both the line-up changes and creative tornadoes and made history with two albums with different faces. 

Doctors Without Borders provides medical and humanitarian aid in more than 70 countries around the world. 

Back to the past!!! That's what we tell ourselves when we listen to Belgium's oldest, but still playing punk/hardcore band CAPITAL SCUM!!! This band, which will certainly not be known by everyone, but probably only by true experts and connoisseurs, celebrates this year an incredible four decades on the scene!!!

Swedish mix of black metal and crust? A band compared to Martyrdöd or Acursed? Definitely, yes! Ladies and gentlemen, the line-up of the upcoming Obscene Extreme Festival will be refreshed by a young (and promising!) band from Lidköping, Sweden - ILLVILJA

The first wave of tickets sold out in record speed (for us), thank you!!! 

This band reminded us where our roots are!!! Four German guys, calling themselves VULTURE, really take us back to the eighties, when speed and thrash metal ruled the world and we devoured every new record. 

Boom!!! Another hit from a small country in the west of Europe, Belgium is a special not only by its name, TRAVØLTA!!! How crazy do you have to be to give yourself a name like that? 

Hat-trick! Or maybe the third time is the charm? M:40 from Sweden celebrated their 20th anniversary this year. Thanks to the releases of their albums on domestic labels, it is probably not necessary to introduce this band at length. 

Let's open the encyclopedia of death metal now. What is the first band's name that comes to your mind under the letter S? Who have never failed, betrayed their style, changed their logo, said NO to a request for an autograph or a photo? 

If you like it heavy old school, you are right here!!! As the first representative of Wednesday's OEF "Old school metal forever!!!" evening we present a hell of a band called HELLRIPPER!!! 


Since 2013, we are traditionally preparing a special program at the OEF for you on Wednesday and this time the hammer fell on a really metal anvil!!! OLD SCHOOL METAL BATTLE!!! 

No Obscene Extreme would be complete without some Scandinavian bone crushing attack!!! After ten (!) years, Swedish GADGET returns to unleash a total inferno with their grindcore assault at supersoic speed with a d beat mixed in, as only they can!!!

Pure death metal in old-school style with hair spins and vigorous commitment, that was once no rarity in the scene, is becoming a rare phenomenon and today it is crying out for help under the rush of modern influences.
