So, I’m currently very excited because Bloodstock have given us an absolute corker of an announcement. In fact, this announcement is so good that the only (un)intelligible noise that I was able to make after reading it was a high-pitched and squeaky “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”. I’ll have you know it was a very METAL squeak too..

Eight (yes, EIGHT!!!) fantastic bands have been announced today, with LOCK UP and CHTHONIC having been confirmed for Ronnie James Dio Stage and ALCEST, WINTERFYLLETH, DEMONIC RESURRECTION, HEADCHARGER, EASTERN FRONT and ANCIENT ASCENDANT all confirmed for Sophie Lancaster Stage!

This is what I love about Bloodstock. While other festivals are fighting over the biggest names they can get (some of whom probably should call it a day), Bloodstock truly supports the future of metal. Bloodstock, I salute you!

I believe I speak for everyone when I say “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” again.

The crust veterans will headline the Terrorizer Stage while Sabbat will perform on the Jagermeister Stage.

The Dillinger Escape Plan and Paradise Lost will now co-headline the downsized event, which takes place on Saturday, November 6, in Leeds University Union.

Festival Director Gavin McInally said:

“It’s no secret we’ve had a tough year of it so being able to confirm two top acts like Discharge and Sabbat is a real pleasure.

“Aside from the Jagermeister Stage competition and perhaps another smaller band on the Terrorizer Stage, the bill is pretty much complete for this year and despite the lack of an exclusive headliner we’re delighted to once again put together a three stage line-up we’re immensely proud of.

“Rare showings from the likes of Lawnmower Deth, Fukpig, the return of Earthtone9, exclusive performances by Alcest, Anaal Nathrakh as well as the aforementioned talent of DEP, Paradise Lost, Sabbat and Discharge – 2010 is going to be a blinder.”

Announced for Damnation Festival 2010: The Dillinger Escape Plan, Paradise Lost, Discharge, Earthtone9, Sabbat, Anaal Nathrakh, Lawnmower Deth, Rolo Tomassi, Panic Cell, Alcest, The Ocean, Esoteric, SSS, Hecate Enthroned, Fen, Maybeshewill, October File, Bonesaw, Fukpig, The Mire, Colonel Blast, The Construct and Diascorium.

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.

GOTHIC metallers PARADISE LOST head up the latest additions to Damnation Festival.

The genre-spanning Halifax quintet will bring their blend of atmospheric doom to the main Jagermeister Stage at Leeds University Union, on Saturday, November 6, 2010.

And they’ll be joined by German progressive metallers THE OCEAN, rising post-rock trio MAYBESHEWILL and the politically inspired industrial overtones of OCTOBER FILE.

With The Dillinger Escape Plan, Earthtone9, Anaal Nathrakh, Lawnmower Deth and Alcest among the names already confirmed for the sixth edition of Damnation Festival, the event is shaping up to be the most vital date on the metal calendar.

Paradise Lost vocalist Nick Holmes last night revealed the band are looking forward to taking the stage in Leeds, if not negotiating the roads network.

He said:

It’s fantastic to be playing at the Damnation Festival, and we hope to see you all there.

I never got my head around the one way system in Leeds, thankfully someone else will be driving so we should arrive on time!

Festival Director Gavin McInally added:

Following the triumphant performances by My Dying Bride and Anathema in recent years, it’s fitting to have Paradise Lost complete the final piece of the Unholy Trinity at Damnation.

We are also delighted to announce The Ocean, Maybeshewill and October File for what will be another vital bill on our Rock Sound Stage this year.

Damnation Festival will take place on Saturday, November 6 at Leeds University Union.

Announced so far: The Dillinger Escape Plan, Paradise Lost, Earthtone9, Anaal Nathrakh, Lawnmower Deth, Rolo Tomassi, Alcest, The Ocean, SSS, Hecate Enthroned, Fen, Maybeshewill, October File and Fukpig.
