Welcome to Today’s FYB Post on The Obscene Extreme Festival or Commonly referred to as OEF. OEF is a Yearly Extreme Music Festival Held in the Czech Republic Held at Trutnov Battlefield. OEF was the Brain Child of founder Miloslav “Curby” Urbanec’s who Started OEF in 1999. Curby considers Obscene Extreme to be Primarily a Grindcore Festival at Heart, BUT there’re Other Extreme Music Genres/Subgenres such as Death Metal, Hardcore Punk, Gringcore, Extreme Metal, and Goregrind.

OEF has become such Success Over the Years that OEF started Holding International OEF Festivals in Asia, Europe, South America, Mexico, Australia, America, and Indonesia. Since the First OEF in 1999 over 1,081 Bands have Played Obscene Extreme Festival(s) including Napalm Death, Obituary, Exhumed, EyeHateGod, SCAT, Cripple Bastards, Gutalax, SCAT, Putrid Pile, Terrorizer, Municipal Waste, Brujeria, and Cannibal Corpse. The Most interesting Factor of OEF is that Since the Beginning the Festival has Exclusively Offered Vegetarian/Vegan Food and All Other Types of Food are Strictly Prohibited on the Premises. In Addition to the Bands and Vegetarian/Vegan Food OEF also Offers Body Piercing, Photo Gallery, OEF Merchandise, Tons of Press doing Interviews, Vendors at the Obscene Market, a Show of Studio Hell, Beer, and a Stage Diver’s Manual. The Last Aspect of OEF that Most People would find Surprising is In Spite of it’s Name OEF is Known for being a Positive Environment. Believe it or Not Czech Radio said that OEF is “Exceptionally Tolerant and Friendly Atmosphere.”

Now that We have Covered the Usual Basic Information Pertaining to OEF We thought it be Interesting to Hear about OEF from its Founder Curby in His Own Words. So We Assembled a Series of Quotes from Curby on the Subject of OEF. Hey if You want fucking Answers then it’s Best to go Directly to the fucking Source. It is Worth Mentioning English is Curby’s Second Language so Sometimes the Wording is rather fucked up. And Without Further Ado here are the Quotes We Compiled from Various Places.

Curby: “OE was Born like answer to such a great German event FUCK THE COMMERCE…I visited this fest back in 98 for first time..I wanted to do some bigger festival in Czech for extreme music because a festival of this type was missing in Czech and whole of Europe I guess…”

Curby: “But to be honest I wanted to do just one festival and stop it, but reactions of fans, bands, and all were simply amazing and that’s why I continued with this work till today…”

Curby: “People are still going crazy for grind core and I can see many, many satisfied die-hard grind freaks that really love this event and it just power to continue and do it better next year. ”

Curby: “Anyway it’s still the same as the first fest, fest made by fans for fans, nothing else.”

Curby: “So every year I’m doing a list of bands I want to see live personally, then I’m adding some new kick ass bands and of course some bands are asking me to play. But every year I’m trying to give some chances to newcomers in the scene as they have no more support from other and mainly bigger festivals as they don’t care that much about them.”

Curby: “OEF always will be a grind core event for the most most extreme musical styles of the planet trying to destroy your ears thru one weekend.”

Welcome to Today’s Late FYB Post which I am Glad to Say is Another Music Post Which I always find More than Interesting to Do. This Story Starts when a Couple of Days Ago I was fucking around Online as I’m known to do, and I was browsing Different Kinds of gifs for a Current Project. I came across One that Caught My Eye and Upon Further Inspection I noticed it was Tagged at the Bottom where it simply read “Indonesian Black Metal”. This instantly Perked My Interest as I am a Big fucking Fan of the Black Metal Genre, but for the Life of Me the Fact there was a Black Metal Scene in Indonesia was a complete Mindfucker. Black Metal was created in Scandinavia where it then Seeped into Europe and Eventually found its way to America so Indonesia is a bit off the Beaten Path as it were.

Thus Started My Journey into Indonesian Black Metal. The Most Infuriatingly Frustrating Problem is when I’m researching a Niche and/or Obscure Band Information can be Hard to Locate. Now Add to the Equation that the Band(s)/Musician is from a Foreign Country it makes it that much Harder (Example: The Satan Panonski Post). With that Said in All Honesty Collecting Information for this Post was the Most fucking Difficult out of ANY Music Post I’ve Done thus Far. First Off there was the Obvious Problem with Translations since Any Information was Either in or Translated from Indonesian (Referred to Locally as Bahasa Indonesian). As for the Information I hunted down that had been Translated had be Translated Badly, and were the Shittiest of Shitty Translations I have ever Experienced. There were the Usual Problems like the Information was Wrought with Spelling and Grammatical Mistakes, and the Translations looked as if They were Written by an Actual Lunatic. The Basic Sentence Structure wasn’t Written in Broken English it was Written in Totally Butchered English that was almost Beyond Belief. The Other Odd Factor was the Band I selected to Showcase had Unlike America (Or Other Countries) The Band had Done Next to NO PRESS Whatsoever I tried to Locate Interviews be They Print, Online, Radio, Television Etc. and Came Up with Virtually Nothing to Speak of.

So All This Considered I Decided to Go with the Most Prominent and Well Known Indonesian Black Metal called SANTET. The Following is All the Pertinent Information I managed to Scrounge Up So Here We Go.
