MISTRESS To Reunite For DAMNATION FESTIVAL Appearance

April 17, 2009

MISTRESS — the U.K.'s finest purveyors of flithy noise — will reunite for one last aural assault, exclusively at the Damnation Festival, set to take place Saturday, October 24 at Leeds University Union.

The Birmingham bastards will treat fans a final dose their sludgey mix of grind and thrash following their sudden break-up in March last year.

The show will be the first time MISTRESS have (dis)graced Damnation since 2006 when they levelled the Terrorizer Stage — leading to fans repeatedly demanding their return — and the last time they'll perform anywhere.

And frontman Dave Hunt is planning to make it one for the history books. He said: "Well, we saw what happened with CARCASS and we thought we'd cash in too!

"Nah, in reality it's just that we never had a 'last gig' and that left a sense of unfinished business. Our paragraph in the book of heavy metal should have ended with an exclamation mark, not a comma.

"The Damnation guys suggested a one-off and we thought fuck it, we'll have our final stand after all. The last grinding hurrah of blood, snot and spleen."

MISTRESS will join previously announced acts THERAPY?, ROTTING CHRIST and A STORM OF LIGHT at the three-stage event.

Northern Irish post-metallers STAND-UP GUY have also been added to the bill, playing the Rock Sound-endorsed stage.

Tickets will go on sale in May.
