Noostrak plays quality progressive deathcore with technical death metal elements accompanied with mighty breakdowns and stunning blast beats that will leave the listener, and viewer speechless. They are a professional band that had numerous shows and tours, including a tour with the Russian giants The Korea, and an appearance on the Brutal Assault festival. An interesting thing is that the founding members were only 9 when they started out with Noostrak, which means you will get to see many years of dedication, practice, commitment, energy and strength in just one place, at your local show.

This band is handpicked by the founders of Brutal Assault to promote their fine festival in the best manner they could - promote and at the same time CRUSH the venue of your local show. Tickets are available at distro in the venues at the tour, payable in euro only - 68€!!!

Life is made out of those little moments, as a peaceful getaway on a local show, especially when it hosts an awesome band from far away. One hell of a road will be crossed for you to get to listen one of eastern Europe's finest deathcore bands to date.

www.myspace.com/wearethekorea

The Korea band was formed in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, in 2003. Preparing the material for their records the band rehearsed and performed a lot. Their first full-length release "On The Broken Wings" was presented in March 2006. Later the band made the first video for their track "The Poles". The Korea's second album "The Pulse" was released in October 2007. The band had several big tours supporting the album in Russia and CIS countries. After a long creative break the band recorded a single called "The Sandman" which was released online on April 9th, 2010. In awhile the band made their decision to change the name, sound and stylistic concept. That led to the change of the lead vocals. In summer 2011 The Korea got into the studio to record their third long-play "The Chariots Of The Gods". November 19th the band presented their new single and music video "The Chaos Theory". The album "The Chariots Of The Gods" was released on January 15th. 12 sept The Korea sign with Rogue Records America and start to record new EP called "Saturnus".


NOOSTRAK (CZ) - blackened deathcore
http://www.facebook.com/noostrak
http://www.youtube.com/user/noostrakband

Noostrak is progressive deathmetal band formed in Havlíčkův Brod, Czech republic by guitarist Michal Florian, drummer Jarda Soukup (two former members of current line-up) and bassist Jakub Pekař in 2002/2003 (in that time they were only 9 years old!). In 2011, they've finally succeed. Vašek Jaroš joined the band as the bassguitarist and Luboš "Fred" Kristek (Smashed Face) as vocalist. It was the new beginning for all of them, the've started to make new songs, record first full lenght album (released in June 2012), a lot of shows came suddenly.
We're fully absorbed in making new songs right now, but unfortunately we have experienced another line up change on a post of the bass guitar. We do believe this inconvenience should be fixed until our Tour.
A good news for all the fans of our merchandise is that there should be a bunch of new designs during the tour.
