Akercocke
Rotting Christ
Electric Wizard
Anathema
Destruction
Therapy?
Life Of Agony/Jesu (Not sure)

That's who I'm planning to see.
 
ever notice how the best bands tend to have names that are 1 to 2 words and less than 5 syllables long? and how all of these bands with names that are almost as long as the bhagavad gita suck balls?

AUSTRALIAN experimental black metallers Nazxul will make their first ever UK appearance at this year's Damnation Festival.

The rare performance will be the band's second live show outside their homeland and an unexpected treat for the black metal fans attending the Leeds based event on Saturday, October 24, 2009.

Festival Director Gavin McInally said: "As far as we were concerned the line-up was complete but after Nazxul expressed an interest in coming to the UK to play Damnation, it was too good an opportunity to turn down.

"We're delighted to be hosting their first ever performance on UK soil and trust it'll be one to remember."

The complete line-up is: Life of Agony, Lock Up, Therapy?, Destruction, Anathema, Electric Wizard, Jesu, Rotting Christ, This Will Destroy You, Akercocke, A Storm of Light, Mistress, Negura Bunget, Minsk, Extreme Noise Terror, Manatees, The Gates of Slumber, And So I Watch You From Afar, Charger, Mithras, Firebird, Stand-Up Guy, Nazxul and Rinoa.

Tickets are on sale now priced at £29.50 from http://www.leedstickets.com/ , http://www.ticketline.co.uk/ and http://www.seetickets.co.uk/
