This probably isn't going to come as a huge shock, given that the band basically tweeted as much a couple of days ago, but given how much we love them, it seems worth reporting: following weeks of rumors and speculation , The Human Abstract have now confirmed that they'll be appearing at the Brutal Assault Festival in the Czech Republic this August.
