PARADISE LOST, THE OCEAN, MAYBESHEWILL, OCTOBER FILE Confirmed For U.K.'s DAMNATION FESTIVAL

July 27, 2010

U.K. gothic metal pioneers PARADISE LOST head up the latest additions to Damnation Festival.

The genre-spanning Halifax quintet will bring its blend of atmospheric doom to the main Jägermeister Stage at Leeds University Union, on Saturday, November 6. They will be joined by German progressive metallers THE OCEAN, rising post-rock trio MAYBESHEWILL and the politicallyinspired industrial overtones of OCTOBER FILE.

With THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, EARTHTONE9, ANAAL NATHRAKH, LAWNMOWER DETH and ALCEST among the names already confirmed for the sixth edition of Damnation Festival, the event is shaping up to be the most vital date on the metal calendar.

PARADISE LOST vocalist Nick Holmes last night revealed the band is looking forward to taking the stage in Leeds, if not negotiating the roads network.

He said: "It's fantastic to be playing at the Damnation Festival, and we hope to see you all there.

"I never got my head around the one way system in Leeds; thankfully, someone else will be driving so we should arrive on time!"

Festival director Gavin McInally added: "Following the triumphant performances by MY DYING BRIDE and ANATHEMA in recent years, it's fitting to have PARADISE LOST complete the final piece of the Unholy Trinity at Damnation. We are also delighted to announce THE OCEAN, MAYBESHEWILL and OCTOBER FILE for what will be another vital bill on our Rock Sound Stage this year."

Damnation Festival will take place on Saturday, November 6 at Leeds University Union.
