This year's first swallow from the land of the rising sun!!! BUTCHER ABC, apocalyptically sounding gore death metal, will cheer you up at the Obscene Extreme festival for the second time. The band was founded as early as in 1994, but they properly started after the split-up of their direct predecessors, well-known as an experimental grind band called C.S.S.O.

Following years of being on the road all over the world this relatively young but already classical punk beat from Guadalajara, Mexico called ACIDEZ will stop by at OEF 2018!!! They were formed in 2003 and came with pissed off punk which is so typical for Latin America right with their first demotape.

It's time now to introduce the first of the OEF 2018 headliners. The legendary death/doom squad of ASPHYX from Holland return to Trutnov's Battlefield to smash you to the smithereens!!! Active since 1987 they were at the birth of European death metal and their albums „The Rack“ or „Last One on Earth“ are the gems of the genre.

We'll win this war! …the good soldier Svejk would say. But we mean the war in the moshpit where all of you will enjoy the war pandemonium under the command of the Czech band ANTIGOD!!! 

The Spanish grind band NASHGUL play exactly the style that fits in the OEF production as the well-known butt on the pot. Uncompromising old school grindcore without unnecessary frills. A total tribute to bands such as Napalm Death, Repulsion, Assück or Brutal Truth. Their latest album called "Cárcava" can be listened to over and over and will hardly tire out.

Do you like dancing? In that case gore grind GUTALAX are here for you. Come to have a dance in the moshpit, because this Czech band know very well how to pump it up on the stage.

Next band we are introducing to you is no less than Czech death/grind perennials and actually the veterans of the scene, FLESHLESS. No need for a long introduction as they have been active since as early as 1990 under the name of ZVRATOR and since 1993 of FLESHLESS. The band's frontman Vladimir is a well-known promoter of the extreme underground scene and is also the owner of the record label NICE TO EAT YOU records.

Right now, the cheapest tickets for 1500,- CZK are on sale and they're disappearing really fast...    

It's just a fact. Everyone loves this Swedish band. From punks to grind heads. MOB 47 in action again! This Swedish punk legend is simply immortal. The current line-up has been oxygenated with new blood represented by a new bass player Christoffer (Korsfäst, Lautstürmer among others) in 2017. The whole trio is now ready to pogo the entire Battlefield away!

This Hungarian grind/crust ensemble are quite experienced and with countless recordings and tours (not only) across Europe. They played quite a lot in Czech too. Though it does not seem like these guys have been around for 2 decades you can feel they know what they are doing.

Picture of the Day... OEF vibe, every day...

Imigrant grindcore! That's never happened before! This band consisting of Nepalese immigrants who settled in the US because they and the members of their families were sentenced to death was formed in 2016. Some of their relatives are still in Nepal and are in danger of their lives.

Oh yes, here there is another legend of pathological grindcore/death metal directly from the land of Tre kronor, GENERAL SURGERY!!! 

A total grind core massacre from Spain brought by a fairly new and young band named CONVULSIONS will properly rock the fans of the anniversary Obscene Extreme Festival next year in July 2018.

All the lovers of extreme and furious music must grunt with pleasure!!! These French butchers do not struggle with that much and every show of theirs is a proper slaughter. BENIGHTED is a 100% warranty that their set will eviscerate and overturn your guts as a sharpened butcher's  knife.

There are really few bands that keep doing their music in the same good way for over a quarter of a century and we think that this Czech death metal fixed star band TORTHARRY belongs among them for sure. They have been playing under the name of TORTHARRY since 1991 and have already eight full-length albums under their belt achieving bigger or smaller successes across the world metal scene. 

These really young guys from Torino, Italy who do look like kids, will deliver a blast mix of violent but still melodic thrash metal at OEF 2018. Estabilished in 2009 on the ruins of the band named Fallen Angel. Except for their debut EP „Wildcrash“ they have two full-length albums under their belt and the latter one called „Deflect the Flow“ was released by renowned Candlelight Records.

And now no eye of a cruster should stay dry! Another Scandinavian punk legend to honour the festival stage of Obscene Extreme with their presence in 2018! This band cannot but be introduced with a banal phrase – Ladies and Gentlemen !!! – ASOCIAL! One of the foundation stones of the Swedish hardcore scene.

Czechoslovak mince/grind core legend ABORTION was one of those bands to perform at the very first volume of Obscene Extreme Festival in 1999. And it is as clear as day these veterans will not be missing at the 20th anniversary volume. Naturally!

One of the essential bands for the Obscene Extreme fans. ROTTEN SOUND from Finland. One of the top grind core bands of today will honour the visitors of Trutnov's Battlefield with a visit to celebrate the 20th anniversary of OEF!
