ANAAL NATHRAKH, RAGING SPEEDHORN Confirmed For U.K.'s DAMNATION Festival

July 24, 2007

Britain's finest black metallers ANAAL NATHRAKH will perform a one-off exclusive headline show at Damnation Festival on Saturday, October 20 at Leeds Metropolitan University, England to mark the release of their next album.

Hot on the heels of last year's "Eschaton", recording of the third full-length, as-yet-untitled ANAAL NATHRAKH CD has already commenced. Speaking from his Necrodeath studios in Birmingham, instrumentalist Mick Kenney described the new album as "100% non-stop total savagery," saying "These songs are gonna blow everything we've ever done in the past clean away." According to vocalist V.I.T.R.I.O.L., songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Castigation and Betrayal" and "The Final Absolution", with the subject material being "worryingly bleak". The completed work is set to include guest vocals from CIRCLE OF DEAD CHILDREN's Josama Bin Horvath and Dirty Von Donovan from EXPLODER, as well as Shane Embury (NAPALM DEATH) on bass. Other guest appearances are planned, but remain unconfirmed at this time. The album is due out via Feto Records in late 2007.

ANAAL NATHRAKH, who have only played live a several special shows previously, will top a brutal-looking Terrorizer Stage at at Damnation Festival, which already boasts KATAKLYSM, ABORTED and 1349, with Relapse Records new boys MAN MUST DIE and fast-rising Leeds death-merchants SOULFRACTURE opening proceedings.

Meanwhile, Damnation veterans RAGING SPEEDHORN and the latest contenders for U.K. metal's crown MALEFICE will bolster the stunning Jagermeister Stage, topped by the diverse billing of KREATOR, AMEN and ORANGE GOBLIN.

Festival spokesman Gavin McInally said: "After three years of begging, bribing and going way past the point of harassment, the finest extreme band the U.K. has to offer will finally grace Damnation Festival, in the shape of the mighty ANAAL NATHRAKH.

"No stage is more fitting of a Terrorizer moniker and we're delighted to have them on board as well as the best new extreme talent in MAN MUST DIE and SOULFACTURE, also primed for the mayhem.

"The additions of RAGING SPEEDHORN and MALEFICE to the Jagermeister Stage will again bring the best in British talent together for what is no doubt the biggest showcase of diverse heavy, homegrown talent in the UK this year."
