EXTREME NOISE TERROR, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU Confirmed For U.K.'s DAMNATION FESTIVAL

May 12, 2009

English grindcore punks EXTREME NOISE TERROR, Texan post-rock masters THIS WILL DESTROY YOU and Chicago psychedelic metallers MINSK have been confirmed for the Damnation Festival, set to take place Saturday, October 24 at Leeds University Union.

Despite an earlier opening time of 1:00 p.m., more bands across all three stages and a stronger bill of diverse rock and metal talent, briefs will be kept to £29.50, and a fewer number will be available than last year’s 3,500 capacity sell-out to help ease congestion in the Leeds University Union.

Festival director Gavin McInally said: "Despite every effort being made to improve the festival — more bands, less clashes, earlier doors — we were determined to keep the ticket prices as low as last year.

"There will also be fewer tickets on general sale this year which — with careful billing and much better signage to the stages — should ease the congestion around the building.

"We were voted the U.K.'s best metal event by the fans that turned out in the numbers last year but they can be assured we’ll do everything in our power to continue to make the event even better.

"EXTREME NOISE TERROR were built for these kind of shows and our only hope is that our Terrorizer Stage is sturdy enough to host them, while THIS WILL DESTROY YOU and MINSK are sterling additions to the majestic Rock Sound Stage."

The festival billing is shaping up as follows:

THERAPY?
ROTTING CHRIST
MISTRESS
EXTREME NOISE TERROR
THIS WILL DESTROY YOU
A STORM OF LIGHT
MINKS
STAND-UP GUY
