Did we say last week that the lineup was complete? We were wrong! We're adding the Czech thrash metal powerhouse FAÜST to the lineup! AVULSED were already part of the lineup, but we're "announcing" them again as an apology for having left them out of the death metal genre poster.
The bands performing on the KAL stage will be revealed very soon, along with the day-by-day breakdown of all performers. Stay tuned!

The last time we created designer paper tickets was for the 25th edition of BA—some of you might still remember them. And this year, the idea came back to life. When we received the first graphic drafts from Matěj Bašta, the artist behind this year’s visuals, we knew we couldn’t keep this masterpiece from you. And so, the panoramic ticket was born.
This is a stunning piece in a stylish envelope, revealing all its intricate details and cool features only when opened. And there are plenty of them! On top of that, you’ll also get a patch and three stickers. You even get to choose your patch—since we couldn’t decide whether to go for a colorful or black & white version (both look absolutely stunning), we made both. The choice is yours!
Already have an electronic ticket? No worries! You can still grab this collectible piece as a keepsake through our e-shop: https://brutalassault.cz/en/collector-tickets
Arthur Brown. An undisputed psychedelic/shock rock legend who influenced a whole generation of future stars with his 1968 hit "Fire". A hit that so many know without necessarily associating it with its author. The living legend, who will be 83 years old this summer, will convince you in the Fortress that age is just a number and genre boundaries are just an abstract concept.
On June 3rd 2004 the metal world lost one of it’s biggest icons. Thomas ‘Quorthon’ Forsberg was instrumental in redefining metal as we knew it. With the seminal 1984 debut, “Bathory”, Quorthon single handedly laid the foundation of what has become the world-renowned phenomenon, that is black metal. There was Venom before him, but musically he laid out the blueprint for myriads of bands that followed, especially from Scandinavia, in the coming decades.
Upon his passing a wide array of celebrated musicians from the Norwegian black metal scene was summoned to pay their tribute to the fallen pioneer. At the annual Hole in the Sky festival in Bergen, Norway, musicians from bands like Darkthrone, Emperor, Enslaved, Satyricon, Immortal, Gorgoroth and Aura Noir performed a carefully selected set of Bathory classics that helped shape the sound of the Norwegian scene. In 20224, on the 20th anniversary of Quorthon’s passing, the core members of the original tribute constellation got together again at the Beyond the Gates festival, held in the revered Grieghallen, to once again pay their respect to the legend and the music of Bathory. This time the line-up also included E from Watain, who also contributed to the stage design and concept. The result can be summed up by two words: Pure magic.
As people have lamented their praise for the show, we have decided to do some select shows with the concept at some carefully selected summer festivals next summer. Blood Fire Death – A tribute to Quorthon and the Music of Bathory will feature the same band that fronted the 2024 edition:
E (Watain) – vocals
Ivar Bjørnson (Enslaved) – guitar
Blasphemer (Vltimas, ex-Mayhem) – guitar
Apollyon (Aura Noir) – bass & vocals
Faust (Djevel, ex-Emperor) – drums
In addition to the band, the concert will feature guest singers and musicians such as Grutle (Enslaved), Gaahl (Trelldom, ex-Gorgoroth) and Frederick Melander (ex-Bathory) along variety of other exklusive guests that will be announced later.
The show is based on Quorthon’s own vision of how he pictured a Bathory concert would look like should he ever bring his music to the live stage. „20 years after his passing, Quorthon continue to shiver our spines, curdle our blood and fuck our brains up with his music,“ says vocalist E (watain) about the project.
