Today we see the line up for this years fantastic instalment of Damnation Festival. The lauded metal festival is always a treat for us British death metallers, with last years hosts being Bolt Thrower an incredibly limited spaces were left along with the appearance of death metal monsters Cannibal Corpse, Anaal Nathrakh, Orange Goblin and a whole host of others at this brilliant festival. It has now been revealed what this years line up will consist of! 
After their absolutely incredible return to form last year writing the first record in almost twenty years At The Gates triumphed the death metal world over with At War With Reality. Followed by a UK tour which yours truly was lucky enough to catch, was absolutely phenomenal so it seems fitting that the band will be the festivals headliners this year! Joined by stoner riff monsters High On Fire, who will be releasing their brand new album Luminiferous later this year along with old school death metallers Asphyx. With an appearance from The Ocean appeasing those who are more inclined progressively along with Vreid and The Wounded Kings. This will not be one to miss, a fantastic line up so far and this is merely five bands! Ticket prices will be frozen at £36 to celebrate the fans’ loyal appearances, with festivals like Neurotic Death Fest closing their bloodsoaked doors its more important now than ever to support these brilliant festivals! The 11th Damnation Festival will be taking place at Leeds University Union on November 7th

In the heart of Camden, unbeknownst to most the sense of impending doom that Anaal Nathrakh bring with it will be thrust upon London’s Black Heart their unique brand of truly some of the most visceral and forward thinking metal is some of the most extreme out there. Having released new album Desideratum the year previous at long last the Brummie bunch return to dish out their brand of devastation in the miniscule Black Heart.
Album Review: Korpiklaani – Noita
The first thing that any Korpiklaani fan would notice about the release of ‘Noita‘, is that this is the longest time between album releases that has ever passed for the Finnish folk metallers. A lot of people would argue, including myself that this could be a very good thing, as it gives the band some time to refresh, recharge and bring back some creative sparks. For Korpiklaani the band have traditionally opted to release albums almost a year after each other, sometimes even less and as fun as the band are – there seemed to be a developing staleness with creativity just appearing to run out. However now Korpiklaani have left 3 years since the release of ‘Manala‘, touring in between and gaining legions of new fans with their unique brand of folk metal, and now have their new opus ‘Noita‘ to offer. Has the extended down time paid off for the sake of the music?

Tribulation have been quietly tinkering away, touring with classic bands the likes of Behemoth and Cannibal Corpse the band have been slowly but surely priming themselves for the release of one of the best records of the year.
