Exodus, Testament, and More Big Names Added to Brutal Assault Festival

Brutal Assault festival just announced a whole bunch of solid American thrash metal choices to their lineup, and we’re stoked about it.

The fest will now include Testament, Exodus, Sadus, and Armored Saint. They’ll be joining the annual festival in Jaromer, Czech Republic August 7-10, 2024 alongside Toxic Holocaust, Havok, and Laid to Rest.

The fest spans the metal spectrum, from thrash and old-school death metal to metallic beatdown hardcore and black metal and everything in between, so adding even more old-school, thrashy goodness just sweetens the deal on an already stacked lineup.

The festival dropped the following update:

“???????? Here are the seven names of American thrash metal that will take the stage at Brutal Assault 2024! ????

“Inevitably, the batch of thrash was bound to come, so we’re announcing seven bands of the American wave. Four big names who have been involved in the formation of this genre will be coming from California – namely Testament, Exodus, Armored Saint and SADUS. 

“The younger blood will be represented by Colorado’s HAVOK , multi-instrumentalist Joel Grind’s Toxic Holocaust and Czech-American Laid to Waste.
