Four more bands have been announced for this year’s Damnation Festival!

Summer festival season is now in full swing and to capitalise on the excitement, the organisers of the UK’s biggest on day metal extravaganza have confirmed another four bands for this year’s festival!

Announced this evening for 2018’s festival is Australian progressive death metal maestros NE OBLIVISCARIS, French sludge quartet CELESTE and Irish doom stalwarts MOURNING BELOVETH will all perform exclusive performances whilst Aussie progressive rockers CALIGULA’S HORSE round up the announcement.

Speaking about performing at this year’s festival, MOURNING BELOVETH, who’ll play an hour-long set on the newly sponsored Cult Never Dies Stage, says, “we are honoured to bring The Apocalypse Machine to the stages of Damnation Festival 2018. Expect a Crashing Wave of slow death metal, 60 minutes to try escape the Mantle Tomb intact. Weep not for it, for it is all the better lost.” CELESTE adds, “we are back and more evil than ever for a visual and sonic live experience.”
