News : Armageddon Festival – the Black Mass replacement

PRESS RELEASE:

From the ashes of Black Mass festival Armageddon Festival rises like the phoenix to unite Australia’s black metal underground and as a testament to the rights of artists to freely express their full artistic views without censorship or opposition.

Australia’s black metal & extreme metal forces join once more in the ultimate union of musical black metal art. They make no excuses for their ideologies nor the creation of extreme noise but only stand obstinate in the face of those who would challenge their musical freedom.

This will be Nazxul’s only live Australian performance for 2011 before their disappearance into the shadows to record their new opus & follow up to 2009’s, ‘Iconoclast’ album.

They will be joined by Astriaal returning to Sydney after a seven year hiatus with their new album, ‘Anatomy of the Infinite’ in their only Sydney performance for 2011. Drowning The Light, one of Australia’s most enigmatic & intriguing Black Metal artists will also be performing their only Australian show for 2011.

Destruktor from Melbourne defiantly return to Sydney after a long absence to strike hard with their crushing displays of aural speed & brutality! The whirlwind of their destruction will not strike again soon as this is their only Sydney show for 2011.

The devastatingly heavy Wardaemonic will once again be bridging the great divide of distance along side Sydney’s Erebus Enthroned to stand strong in the face of adversity.

More bands will be added to the line up with further announcements to be made soon!

Australian extreme music WILL NOT BE SILENCED by the voices of the few! We stand defiant and rally in the true spirit of metal brother & sisterhood against those who would dictate against our freedoms & love of extreme metal. Join us to support some of Australia’s finest metal acts as they converge upon Sydney to share their full artistic vision with the privileged few…
