Brutal Assault 2026: HC / CORE Bands Update

Get your body bags ready — the legendary American outfit Body Count is coming to Josefov! The band founded in 1990 by rapper Ice-T and guitarist Ernie C will perform in the Josefov fortress for the very first time, and it will be their only summer show in Central and Eastern Europe.


Other bands in the update are Swedish Clawfinger, Ratos de Porão from Brazil, and American legends Terror and H2O must not escape your attention either. But one definitely shouldn’t overlook the other bands on Brutal update list: rising stars of Manchester crossover Guilt Trip, plus Paleface Swiss, who deserve their own category for the sheer brutality of their breakdowns, and the veterans of progressive metal, Protest the Hero.

Announced bands:

Body Count, Clawfinger, Guilt Trip, H2O, Paleface Swiss, Protest The Hero, Ratos De Porao, Terror
