Biomechanical will be playing at this years Damnation Festival
Here are some details I got from their forum
DAMNATION FESTIVAL returns to Manchester on OCTOBER 15TH, 2006 with two of the UK’s top acts kicking off a bill of uncompromising heavy metal.
Rising metal superstars BIOMECHANICAL and zombie crew SEND MORE PARAMEDICS are the first of 14 stunning bands to be named for Britain’s finest new festival.
Last year’s sell out event was a shot in the arm for homegrown metal with a remarkable top four finish in Terrorizer magazine’s worldwide “Biggest Musical Event” poll.
In the aftermath, Virtual Festivals declared that: "The true face of underground UK metal has finally clawed its way onto the festival scene, leaving a wound that no amount of imported US and Euro talent can plaster over."
The second instalment of UK-focussed metal will again take place across two stages at Jilly’s Rockworld and Music Box.
The main stage will be sponsored by our new partners JAGERMEISTER, surely the most rock n roll drink on the planet; while TERRORIZER magazine will once again support the extreme stage.
Terrorizer PR chief Ben Crudgington said: “Terrorizer is proud to once again be involved, as the most brutal metal acts on the planet converge upon Manchester this October for Damnation Festival 2006.
“One more giant nail in the coffin of corporate rock.”
Biomechanical were once described as being "suspended between Nevermore and Dream Theater...surely the greatest new UK band of their kind."
And they were keen to live up to their reputation in Manchester this October: "We consider Damnation to be one of the most exciting new festivals that offer powerful and uncompromising metal music to the masses.
“No doubt one of the best festivals around and we are extremely happy we are on the bill for this year's metalfest!"
As for four-piece Leeds outfit Send More Paramedics - who describe their music as "Zombiecore: a hideous fusion of 80s-style thrash metal and modern hardcore punk, contaminated and deformed by an obsessive fascination with zombie b-movies" - it may very well be time to lock up your daughters.
The SMP mob have been making a blood-splattered name for themselves up and down the UK circuit in recent years, amassing a cult following in their wake. Now it's time to unleash them on the Damnation masses.
Of joining the bill? They simply said: "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will play Damnation Fest."
Organiser Gavin McInally added: “We never even dreamed that our first year would be so successful; selling out, huge crowds for the opening bands through to the headliners, and a great response from fans and bands alike.
“And to start 2006 with bands of the quality of Biomechanical and Send More Paramedics is a huge boost.
“We cannot thank our community enough for the belief and support they have shown us from the beginning and we aim to thank them by putting on two of the finest stages of metal the country will see this year.
“With Jagermeister and Terrorizer on board, and our new friends at UK Metal Underground ready to push things forward, we're ready for another memorable event.”
Tickets for Damnation Festival 2006 will be priced £15 and will be on sale in April.
