It is with great regret that we must announce Sisters of Mercy will not be performing at this year's Brutal Assault. The cancellation is due to the band moving up the recording schedule for their new album. We sincerely apologize to all fans of these British icons; we are already in talks to bring them to the fortress for next year's edition instead.

To balance out the bad news, we have two exciting additions to the lineup! Joining us in Josefov this year are the Swedish masters of epic doom metal, CANDLEMASS, and the Mexican aggrotech/EBM ensemble, HOCICO!
