Brutal Assault may not be the biggest festival when it comes to the European metal festival scene, but it still manages to maintain a strong lineup that attracts a whole lot of metalheads. This year the festival took place from August 9th until August 12th, 2023. Located at monumental Fortress Josefov – which is probably one of the best locations to host a metal crowd – it not only boasts the atmosphere of a heavy festival but also allows participants to cool down in its chilly nooks and corridors, or hide from rain as it did on the festival’s first day.
The festival’s final day concluded with bands like OMNIUM GATHERUM, HYPNOS, INFECTED RAIN, ANAAL NATHRAKH, SUICIDAL ANGELS, DEICIDE, NAPALM DEATH, TRIVIUM, ORBIT CULTURE, AURA NOIR, MARDUK, and CARACH ANGREN.
