Wrapping up the bill for this year's Damnation Festival are thrashers Mutant will open the Jagermeister Stage and London death metallers The Antichrist Imperium will make a first ever live performance.

Antichrist Imperium guitarist Matt Wilcock, said, "The Antichrist Imperium are very excited and honoured to be playing our first live show at Damnation this year. This is one of the UK's best festivals for extreme metal and were looking forward to unleashing some bloodsoaked blasting death metal in Leeds!"

Damnation Festival director Gavin McInally added, "It's great to finally put the finishing touches to a line-up we're extremely proud to host. Mutant are the deserved winners of our Jagermeister Stage competition and after having both Akercocke and Ted Maul at past Damantion events, it's fitting to introduce The Antichrist Imperium to the live arena at this year's festival."

Damnation organisers recently announced they had made the decision to drop the capacity from 3,500 to less than 2,000 to enable the festival to be financially viable.
