Brutal Assault announces first names for 2019 including Meshuggah and A Pale Horse Named Death

Some festivals wait until the end of the year to announce names for their next edition, while others start announcing them right away. That is the case with Brutal Assault, which just completed its 23rd edition and is already stoking the flames of the next one. Right off the abt we have the Swedish legends of knövelmetal, Meshuggah, who return to the festival after a six-year abscense to present their latest record, The Violent Sleep of Reason, released on October 7, 2016, via Nuclear Blast. Also confirmed are A Pale Horse Named Death, Anaal Nathrakh, Gutalax, Napalm Death and Testament. More names will be announced in due time.

Brutal Assault takes place at Fortress Josefov, in Jaroměř, Czech Republic, on August 7th-10th. Ticket information will be made available soon.
