Damnation the one-day indoor metal event held this year at Leeds University Union on Saturday 22nd November have announced more acts to this year's line-up.

Pitchshifter have been announced as headliners of the second, Terrorizer, stage. Damnation has also confirmed that Raging Speedhorn will play their last ever show at the event. Ramesses, Desecration, and Latitudes complete the new additions joining a bill which includes the main stage headliner Carcass. The other confirmed acts include Napalm Death, Sigh, The Berzerker, and Taint.

Festival director Gavin McInally stated, "We are proud to host Pitchshifter at Damnation Festival for a rare UK show - it promises to be something special!"

"It's not often we'll re-book a band, nevermind a hat-trick of appearances, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity of letting the mighty Raging Speedhorn bow out, without a fitting stage.

"They have been at the forefront of heavy UK metal for the past ten years and it's a honour to have them play their last ever show at Damnation Festival.

"Ramesses, Desecration and Latitudes are three more reasons why no self respecting metal fan should have to look overseas for real quality. We're looking forward to seeing all three in action this year."

The two stage event will have 18 bands in total, and tickets are on sale priced at £29. To buy tickets click here.
