For the second part of our Damnation Festival 2012 review, our deputy editor, Hugh Platt, raves about Amenra and Extreme Noise Terror, and remembers falling over in a toilet. You stay classy, Hugh.
Six things Hugh Platt learned when he went to Damnation Festival 2012:
We sent our latest recruit, Daniel Cairns, along to Damnation Festival 2012. He wore a sensible blazer and watched Pig Destroyer. Fair enough.
Six things Daniel Cairns learned when he went to Damnation Festival 2012:
Pig Destroyer headlined the second stage at this year’s Damnation Festival, but we thought they lacked the killer edge.
Electric Wizard were the main stage headliners at this year’s Damnation Festival – not that we’d know, as we were blind drunk by this point in the proceedings.
Normally we’d shy away from using a phrase like “reliably triumphant” to describe a band, but Primordial at Damnation Festival 2012 deserves that description.
John Loughlin, formerly of Raging Speedhorn, is now a member of Extreme Noise Terror! Hugh needed a bit of a sit down after learning this as Damnation 2012.
Hawk Eyes had the somewhat-daunting prospect of opening the Jägermeister stage (aka the main stage) at Damnation Festival 2012. Were they able to hack it?
If you didn’t see Devil Sold His Soul at Damnation Festival 2012 becuase you were afraid of their tidy haircuts, then you’re a bit of a berk.
