Brutal Assault announces newly confirmed bands headed by AT THE GATES, DEATH DTA or ANNIHILATOR

Brutal Assault Festival 2015 has announced new names for the 20th anniversary edition, set to take place on August 5-8, 2015.
Among newly confirmed bands are Canadian thrash metal legend ANNIHILATOR, Swedish pioneers of melodic death metal AT THE GATES, Californian death-grinders CATTLE DECAPITATION, German death metal band DEFEATED SANITY, DEATH DTA which features former members of DEATH celebrating the life and music of Chuck Schuldiner, Norwegian progressive black metallers ENSLAVED, US based thrashers TOXIC HOLOCAUST and a dark musical project of Thomas Gabriel Fischer TRIPTYKON.

From the howling caves, from the old rotting houses, inhabited by the dark spirits DEMONIC SLAUGHTER delivers their new full-length opus “Haunted”. The nine rites of this album were recorded during several full moon nights with “no triggers or any digital lies used during the recording process” assures the band leader, Xaos Oblivion. The recording was performed in a studio hidden deep in the woods, with a dedication closer to a possession, in order to capture the true aura of traditional black metal, in both sound and song structure. “Haunted” recalls the true glory of the Norwegian scene early sounds, in short - it's grim, menacing, cold, raw sounding and well-executed. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
