ANAAL NATHRAKH, ALCEST, ROLO TOMASSI Confirmed For U.K.'s DAMNATION FESTIVAL

June 28, 2010

Damnation Festival veterans ANAAL NATHRAKH will return to lay waste to Leeds this year for the sixth installment of the U.K.'s finest metal event. They'll be joined by French experimental duo ALCEST, the synth-driven mathcore of ROLO TOMASSI and crusty Brummie brothers-in-arms FUKPIG, who make their Damnation debut after a crushing performance at Deathfest earlier this year.

ANAAL NATHRAKH — who headlined the Terrorizer Stage three years ago — will unleash their black metal-tinged grindcore at Leeds University Union, on Saturday, November 6, 2010, in what is their only planned U.K show of 2010.

The latest additions join the already confirmed THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN and reformed EARTHTONE9 with many more bands to be announced across three stages.

Festival director Gavin McInally said: "No band — not even the mighty CARCASS — has been requested to return to Damnation Festival by the fans as often as ANAAL NATHRAKH so it's a pleasure, and a relief, to be able to make that happen.

"In contrast to the aural chaos of NATHRAKH, ALCEST will bring a touch of French sophistication to proceedings with their haunting, black metal inspired shoegaze.

"ROLO TOMASSI are one of the rising stars of the current U.K. metal scene and it's great to be able to host their energetic live show this year.

"As for FUKPIG, well the devastation at Deathfest is responsible for their return!"

Tickets are priced £27 and are available from See Tickets, Ticketline and Leeds Tickets.
