We welcome the savage riffs of INTER ARMA, the crossover blend of thrash and speed metal of CARNIVORE A.D., the post-metal vibe of PELICAN, and the sludge doom metal force of OBSCURE SPHINX! 

Arthur Brown. An undisputed psychedelic/shock rock legend who influenced a whole generation of future stars with his 1968 hit "Fire". A hit that so many know without necessarily associating it with its author. The living legend, who will be 83 years old this summer, will convince you in the Fortress that age is just a number and genre boundaries are just an abstract concept.

Prepare for a brutal underground death metal onslaught! For the first time ever, witness the relentless technical fury of PYRRHON, the crushing groovy intensity of PYREXIA, the horror-filled devastation of FULCI, brutal technical death metal MALIGNANCY, and the avant-garde metal madness of REPLICANT, alongside the return of the Indian brutal chaos of GUTSLIT!
