OBSCENE EXTREME AMERICA Adds To Line Up! IMMOLATION, PUTRID PILE, HARD CHARGER, ARCHAGATHUS

Obscene Extreme America has announced more bands to this year’s line up of extreme music in Montreal, QC from August 20-23.
Announced this week are:
This band don’t need any introduction. They have been innovating in the death metal scene since 1986 with their dueling dissonant guitar harmonies creating a unique dark & devastating atmosphere. Only a big pile of ash will be remaining of the crowd after NYDM`s own IMMOLATION shreds their ears while mastering the art of death metal.
NO ONE’S READY FOR THE SICK AND TWISTED GUTTURAL DEATH METAL MACHINE!!! PUTRID PILE!!!
Skullfucking brutal death/grind fueled with catchy riffs, really fast blast beats & some absurdly brutal grooves is what PUTRID PILE all about.
This one-man project is definitely the heaviest band of the festival and will crush your senses and grind your eardrums to a pulp with his machine gun drum machine, chugging guitar tones and gory ass kicking vocals. Don’t miss this guys! PUTRID PILE kick ass!!!
HIGH VOLTAGE CRUST ‘N’ ROLL AT OEF AMERICA!!! HARD CHARGER!!!
It’s time to fuel your brain with motorcharged d-beat trio HARD CHARGER. Hailing straight from New Brunswick, these Moncton punks have been crushing heads with their fast & loud crust ‘n’ roll since 2010.
Bringing some sort of a sinister aura feel to their music, they will mess with your brain at OEF with their overcharge harsh symphonies!!!
10 YEARS OF MINCEGORE PARTY AT OBSCENE EXTREME AMERICA!!! ARCHAGATHUS!!!
The flamboyant Manitoban grinders ARCHAGATHUS will be making their first east coast appearance in Montreal as they will be celebrating their 10 years anniversary of the most sleazy, demented mincecore tunes. Sounding like they`re straight from the sewers, these grotesque punks bring the party to OEF with their gutter riffs, repulsive vocals & groovy tunes overpopulated by perversion.
Bands previously announced to the fest line up are:
M.O.D. aka Method Of Destruction

Get ready for a 4 day trip of fast, brutal, and destructive musical violence.

2. Vegan-friendly.
Whatever you do or don’t do, believe or practice, you’re welcome at Obscene Extreme.
3. Fair ticket price.
No massive booking agent or energy drink mega-festival bullshit, Obscene Extreme is affordable for everyone.

5. Grindcore carnival.

Calgary is home to three of the most important Hillbilly’s you will ever need to know —Puttin’ On The Foil. They plan to make you a part of their singin-a-long, drinkin’, good time trainwreck with their electrifying, kickass punk’n roll music with their latest track and FREE download ‘Shitshow’ off their upcoming album ‘Fired Up, Ready To Roll’ due out May 12th. The track can be downloaded exclusively on PureGrainAudio.com at the following link here.
“This album will make you appreciate the life you’ve been given and the song Shitshow is not just a wicked title…..it’s what we do” comments vocalist / bassist Trayne Rekk.
Since 2011 these small town renegades have been touring the hell out of any weekend that comes their way. In 2014 the band played over 130 shows across Canada. The band’s name is an homage to the film ‘Slapshot’ where the Hanson Brother put foil on their fists to do more damage during fights in the hockey themed movie. Puttin’ On The Foil plans to do the same with their upcoming sophomore release, ‘Fired Up, Ready To Roll’.

Track Listing: Puttin’ On The Foil – Fire Up, Ready To Roll
1. Shitshow (3:08)
2. Comin’ In Hard’ (3:31)
3. Drunk & Naked (3:56)
4. Rowdy (3:46)
5. Fishin’ Song (4:00)
6. Sweet Prairie Vixen (3:20)
7. Giver To The Liver (3:37)
8. Let Me Be (3:48)
9. Raisin’ Hell (3:05)
10. Ode To Drunk (3:44)
Album Length: 36:01
The band is a three piece consisting of Trayne Rekk on Bass/Vocals/Stupidity, TimTim plucking Guitar/Vocals and Jordan Stubbs on Drums. Rarely sober the band’s infectious music invites even the most conservative wall flower to act stupid. One would expect the band to have influences like KISS, SLAYER, and Iron Maiden, but Trayne blames Hank Willams Jr. for much of his blue collar topics.
Puttin’On The Foil’s signature sound starts with Hank Williams, toss in some Ramones, thickened with Motorhead, and a dash of Nashville Pussy gives it that good time feel. Fans can be sure to understand the bands incredibly love of a good time from their music and live shows. Be sure to catch this three man circus on tour as the following dates below.
