DAMNATION FESTIVAL is just days away from it's boldest chapter yet on Saturday October 24th;
*Exclusive UK shows from LIFE OF AGONY and ROTTING CHRIST *Grind supergroup LOCK-UP making a rare live performance to hit the stage one last time *MISTRESS bowing out with a one-off reunion show *The last ELECTRIC WIZARD show before they return to the studio *Aussie black metallers NAZXUL playing on British soil for the first time *And a bill that also includes THERAPY?, ANATHEMA, AKERCOCKE, JESU, DESTRUCTION and many more!
As the excitement builds, we can reveal the important steps being taken to ensure this is the greatest ever Damnation Festival.
Having taken on feedback from last year, pass-outs will now be available. What's more, we're delighted to announce that specialised caterer 'Deli Kate' will be parked outside offering punters the chance to grab fresh, healthy options.
We have also addressed concerns regarding the venue being too busy, and with capacity capped and less fans in the building, congestion between stages will be greatly reduced.
Stage times have been improved as part of our ongoing campaign to make this year's event this finest we've ever hosted - less clashes and longer sets should really make Damnation Festival 2009 a day to remember!

AAArghh been away fromt he forum far too long, sorry! Will be doing the epic mission to leeds from the isle of wight, got two nights booked in a hotel. So how many Akercunts are actually going along to this?
From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes. I am the ruler and has been for eternities long. My wizards are many, but their essence is mine. Forever they are in the hills in their stone homes of grief. Because I am the spirit of their existence. I am them.

Hope those of you who made it along had a swell day, it was a relatively pain free day for us, and I managed to catch some top drawer performances amid all my running about.
