Ultra-low, truly bubbling tunes of downtuned guitars, distorted singing and crushing drumming lead us to another name for the OEF 2019, namely the French gore grinders of PULMONARY FIBROSIS!!! 

Young Norwegian grind core blood! MAKKMAT will definitely delight you with their old school grindcore! Harshness, speed and brutality! This is going to be a staggering debut. 

"You are surely asking why punk of all things? Well, it's quite simple as without punk there would be no grindcore, thrash, death, hardcore and maybe there would not be lots of other things too!!! I'm very grateful I have met punk on my way. I have a lot of friends among the punks and I also feel like a punk myself (partially at least).

Unfortunately whole tour is CANCELLED!!! Wehrmacht (or Wehrmacht A.D.) has officially broken up and will no longer be a band. We all expect Marco to make a post about the situation soon.

Do you want to see Suicidal Tendencies again when they were young? Do you want to hear D.R.I. when they were full of energy? Do you want to see M.O.D. when they were brimming with easiness and humor??? No need to travel back in time. Just check out Hungary's CRIPPLED FOX!!!

Novodur, Armavir, Telex. A brief evolution of the names of this cult local band. One of the first to produce an aggressive hardcore as for local standards in the late 80's. 

Another act for the OEF, the true harbingers of evil and suffering, creeping out from the dark panels of Bratislava's ghettos, ADACTA from Slovakia!!! In 2000 high school friends bored with simple and insufficiently aggressive punk rock met and grabbed the instruments to create the band ADACTA!!!

Prague's band INSISTENT has emerged as a pleasant new surprise on the local grind core scene. Heavyweight grind core shredding in the vein of Nasum, Rotten Sound, Assück or Napalm Death.

This will be a treat for the lovers of primitive noise. Total noise/grind ride performed by the legend of the genre, SUPPRESSION. This uncompromising beast has been around since 1992 having an array of split recordings with other underground legends such as Despise You, Cripple Bastards or Grief.

One of the last bands announced for the Wednesday's OEF Punk as Fuck Fest is no less than the long-time warriors for a better life for everybody, a great punk squadron of OI POLLOI!!! 

DISAVOWED was spawned in Amsterdam in 2000 and despite the fact the guys have not been churning out their albums much they age like a fine wine on their vinyls!

In the spirit and the footsteps of gore/metal classics like Exhumed or General Surgery,...

Another band for the boards of OEF 2019 is an international Czech/Polish squad HOW LONG?!!! Created as early as in 1994 they will deliver an energetic and dirty crust core and d-beat making us to mosh and stage dive heavily!!! 

Founded in Kyoto, Japan at the beginning of the '90s, WARHEAD stands as one of the most respected and active bands in the highly prolific Japanese Hardcore/Punk infernal pit,...

Members of legendary Japanese Hardcore acts such as Insane Youth, Rustler and above all Death Side joined forces back in the mid '90s to keep the Burning Spirits flag alive and strong with their assaulting HC/Punk reincarnation called FORWARD.

Do you like to watch fingers slipping over the fretboard? Australia's PSYCROPTIC brings a whole bunch of technical riffs loaded with melodics. 

In 2019 again, as it is the case almost every year, we will have the representatives of the crazy Japanese scene at the OEF. This time our invitation went to the city of Oita in the south of Japan where three samurai calling themselves VISCERA INFEST will attack us from!!! 

Having raped all the angels in hell (as their latest record suggests) these French gentlemen return back to the boards of the Battlefield in Trutnov to do the same to us with the help of their destroying grindcore that they have been improving since 1996 decomposing already rotting bodies all over the world regularly! 

These Mexican simpaticos feel at home in Europe. And also at our place at the Battlefield. It started with their disco enthralling the whole audience in 2009, continued again in 2015 and their next dance stop will be at the upcoming volume.

Is your decaying neighbour oozing and has she been missing a bit of tenderness for quite some time? What about stopping by her "for a drink"? GORGASM are spectacular and their perverse ballads spread the thighs of all (not just the motionless) ladies.
