Swedish death metal legends UNLEASHED have been confirmed as the headliners of this year's D.O.D. Festival (formerly Day of Darkness),set to take place Saturday, July 5 in Ballylinan, County Laois, Ireland.

The D.O.D. Festival is Ireland's biggest and longest-running international heavy metal festival. The festival takes place over two days in early July each year in the County Laois village of Ballylinan and hosts a wide variety of bands from throughout Ireland and the rest of the world.
