Damnation Festival Line-Up Announcement
THE legendary LAWNMOWER DETH and rising crossover Scousers S.S.S. will bring the thrash to Damnation Festival 2010.
While representing the finest homegrown black metal at the sixth instalment of the Leeds-based event are HECTATE ENTHRONED and FEN.
Festival Director Gavin McInally said:
Anyone who witnessed Lawnmower Deth’s fantastic set at Download last month can look forward to a second helping of good-old thrash fun at Damnation while S.S.S. are sure to live up to their moniker and provide a short, sharp, shock for the thrash fans who’ve enjoyed sets by the likes of Onslaught, Kreator and Evile over the years.
And for those who prefer their music more grim, it’s a pleasure to be able to announce Hectate Enthroned and Fen who’ll deliver their distinctive takes on black metal this year.
The latest additions mark another diverse lineup for Damnation Festival, adding to stages already bursting with the best in extreme, progressive and alternative talent such as The Dillinger Escape Plan, Anaal Nathrakh, Earthtone9 and Alcest.
Damnation Festival will take place on Saturday, November 6 at Leeds University Union.
Announced so far: The Dillinger Escape Plan, Earthtone9, Anaal Nathrakh, Lawnmower Death, Rolo Tomassi, SSS, Hecate Enthroned, Alcest, Fen and Fukpig.
Tickets are priced £27 and are available from:

About Damnation Festival:
Damnation Festival returns this year for its sixth instalment, promising to deliver the finest chapter in its proud reign as the UKs premier metal event.
Against all odds, the country’s most cutting-edge metal festival has continued to support emerging, home-grown talent while attracting the finest extreme bands from across the globe and was voted UK’s best metal event in 2008 by Terrorizer readers.
And with the dedicated support of thousands of forward thinking fans, not satisfied with the watered-down, ticket sales focussed bills being hosted across the UK, Leeds University Union will once again host the most vital day on the metal calendar on Saturday, November 6, 2010.
Quotes
Cryptic Throne is a dark shamanic ritual. An entity which exists for the Primordial Thursian Worship of Dark Germanic Heathenism.
— Abyssous, Cryptic Throne, http://bit.ly/IlJsYsThe lyrics are mainly based in fantasy, and try to convey a larger concept, peppered with metaphors that hint at some very personal events and feelings.
— Ruptured Souls, The Furious Horde, http://bit.ly/HyfPUx...so now we’re thinking about the next step. And don’t worry. When we hit the road, I guarantee we won’t miss the UK!
— Damyen, Northern Plague, http://bit.ly/JuT8SgWe don’t adhere to any specific writing style. If something works, it gets improved, then it gets used!
— Gideon, Crow Black Sky, http://bit.ly/InizpyThe underlying theme is through the discovery of truth we find ultimate hopelessness. Each song explores death in a different context and theme.
— Voldamares, Eclipse Eternal, http://bit.ly/Hv2kYEI am personally still a CD buyer and probably always will be. I like having the physical artwork in my hands. Mp3’s to me are not very attractive because I feel I’m not getting my money’s worth.
— Will, Vesperian Sorrow, http://bit.ly/Hx69gWI think more bands should prioritize exposure over sales. The more exposure, the more sales. Be it ticket sales, album sales, or merch sales. That’s the way I see it.
— Necrol, Secrets She Kept, http://bit.ly/HEaNHXYou give me a stage and you will see the difference between Nokturnel and most other bands.
— Tom Stevens, Nokturnel, http://bit.ly/Injd6yEven when all seems fine Plaag will still be around to do a little tormenting here and there...
— Somber von Plaag, Plaag, http://bit.ly/IvTyW2I think illegal downloading is fine if you download just to listen, and if you like it, you buy it. If you don’t like it, delete it off your computer.
