FANS’ favourites ENTOMBED and AKERCOCKE will terrorise Damnation Festival after being voted the top two acts to return to UK’s finest metal event.

The show will mark a UK Exclusive date for Swedish death ‘n’ roll titans Entombed who headlined the Terrorizer Stage at the inaugural Damnation Festival in 2005.

While the UK’s finest progressive death purveyors Akercocke return after topping the same stage in Manchester in 2006.

Festival director Gavin McInally said: “It’s always a coup to land great bands but when they are the bands the fans have requested time and time again and even voted for, it’s all the more satisfying to have them back.

“Entombed were phenomenal in our first year and for many Akercocke were the band of the day in 2006 so there’s no doubt they’ll be sterling additions to the fifth Damnation Festival.”

Bands already confirmed for Damnation Festival 2009 - which will take place in Leeds University Union on Saturday, October 24 - include: Therapy? Rotting Christ, Mistress, This Will Destroy You, A Storm of Light, Extreme Noise Terror, Minsk and Stand-Up Guy.

Yeah - Carcass, MDB and Therapy? on the same bill… or maybe not

Kinda feel retarded now for laughing when someone said T? were approached…

The way that poster suggests, Therapy? are headlining…

Or maybe I’m extremely dim and stupid..

I have no idea then ;)

I may be in uni in Preston by then - surely there’s a train that goes up to Leeds and I may be able to make this event…

Thats becoming a cool little line up, T? and Entombed would have been enough to get me to go.
