Damnation Festival 2009 - LIFE OF AGONY Added!

[Philly Q]

I would quit if we booked anything Tom Morello was involved in. :lol:

Did they ever have a release? Or was it just a couple demos or something before he left for RATM?

As far as I know, there was one album, Something Bitchin' This Way Comes.  I like it.  :P  :lol:

New York crossover legends LIFE OF AGONY will headline the Jagermeister Stage at this year's Damnation Festival with an exclusive performance.

The group will bring their emotional blend of heavy rock and alternative metal to the UK for the first time since their sold-out show at London's Koko in 2005 following a series of dates headlining festivals across Europe.

And they'll top a stage which already boasts a wealth of diverse talent inlcuding Destruction, Therapy? and Electric Wizard with guests and opening acts still be to announced.

Damnation Festival director Gavin McInally said: "Landing a headliner of Life of Agony's stature is a major coup and the fact it's the first time they'll play the UK in four years, makes it all the more special.

"After playing some off the biggest and most respected rock and metal events across Europe this summer, they'll fly in from New York for this one-off performance and we're delighted to host what is sure to be a special show."

Damnation Festival will take place at Leeds University Union, on Saturday, October 24, 2009.

The line-up so far is: Life of Agony, Lock Up, Therapy?, Destruction, Electric Wizard, Jesu, Rotting Christ, This Will Destroy You, Akerc--ke, A Storm of Light, Mistress, Negura Bunget, Minsk, Extreme Noise Terror, Manatees, The Gates of Slumber, And So I Watch You From Afar, Charger, Stand-Up Guy and Rinoa with more bands to be announced.

id LOVE to see LOA!

my band is meant to be doing some shows around then building up to a fest in london on the 25th i think.
we'll be doing a few days (23rd & 24th) with Black Friday 29 from Germany and maybe For The Glory from Portugal.
its up in the air.... but i REALLY REALLY want to come to this mainly for LOA! Electric wizard would be good too though ;)

maybe its not the kind of thing you'd find a band like us on.
i just wanted to play with life of agony. i dunno if i'll come or not, depends on if we'll get these shows we're talking about sorted out. would have loved to of seen em though. hmmm.
if im honest, if i did go, id only REALLY pay close attention to LOA.

would be awesome if they came back in furture and did a straight up hardcore show somewhere. would be cool to see them with some european hardcore bands.

EDIT: DEFO can't come, we're playing london the same day i think.

Hey NFE, my singer was telling me that he knows you. John Loughlin ring any bells?

Paddy

[nfe]

From Raging Speedhorn?

What a band. Dire shame they called it a day.

[bucketshred]

Aye yeah, went for a drink with him the other day and he was telling me about Damnation. I said to him 'hang on, I post on a forum that the promotor posts on'. Small world.

Great band too, did their last UK show in the pub I work in. Was crazy.

[nfe]

Awesome, what's the band you're in with him?

[bucketshred]

Called The Rabhus. Still writing and stuff at the moment and we've decided not to play our first show 'til NYE.
