ANGELWITCH and LAWNMOWER DETH confirmed for Bloodstock 2011

Loucifer — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 12:37:23 +0000

With the cold dark weather upon us and the festive season just around the corner, August 2011 may seem like a long way off, but Bloodstock HQ are already working tirelessly behind the scenes to secure a line up for next year to surpass all others.

NWOBHM heroes ANGELWITCH make their BLOODSTOCK debut on the SOPHIE LANCASTER STAGE. A name synonymous with the British metal scene in the 1980’s. ANGELWITCH achieved legendary cult status that decade, with their legacy continuing long after their demise, having become highly influential, with Metallica even citing them as a major influence.

With interest in the band revived after the release of 2000’s “Resurrection” compilation, ANGELWITCH are now back on the scene and continue to make waves with high profile support slots and their eponymous song “Angel Witch” being featured on the Brutal Legend videogame. Now BLOODSTOCK can capture the magic of the NWOBHM with the appearance of one of it’s top names at BOA 2011.

Another blast from the past – although perhaps not as far back and also making their Bloodstock debut, comedy Thrashers LAWNMOWER DETH will join ANGELWITCH on the Sophie Lancaster Stage. Frontman Loon/Qualcast Mutilator expresses his happiness at joining the BOA 2011 lineup

“How chuffed are we to be playing Bloodstock! The forums have been predicting this for several years. Who says we don’t listen. Well frankly we don’t – I thought we were playing Woodstock, but hey it’s a field, it’s full of metal and that’s good enough for us. Bring on the party!

With classics such as “Weeble’s Wobble But They Don’t Fall Down”, “Can I Cultivate Your Groinal Garden” and “Satan’s Trampoline”, festival goer’s are in for a hilariously heavy treat, and possibly the first KIM WILDE cover in the festival’s history should they decide to release their own single “Kids In America”.

Sabbat and Discharge added to Damnation Line Up

Loucifer — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 20:39:02 +0000

HARDCORE punk legends DISCHARGE and UK thrash titans SABBAT are the latest additions to the sixth chapter of Damnation Festival.

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.

Damnation Festival – ANOTHER line-up announcement!

Loucifer — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:53:39 +0000

The folks at Damnation Fest are really spoiling us…

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.

Damnation Festival Line-Up Announcement

Loucifer — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:34:36 +0000

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.
