Doomsday Festival 2011

666 Entertainment presents Doomsday Festival - an annual Australian live music festival this October in Brisbane (14th), Sydney (15th), Adelaide (21st) and Melbourne (22nd).

 
Doomsday Festival debuted in 2009 and primarily showcases a selection of Australia's finest sludge, doom metal, psychedelic, heavy stoner, post-rock and experimental bands. In 2010 Doomsday featured the stoner-rock doom merchants, San Franciscan trio, Acid King.

 
Headlining Doomsday 2011 will be special international guests (and first-time Australian tourists) – COUGH from Richmond/Virginia (home of Lamb of God, Pig Destroyer, GWAR and Municipal Waste).

 
This heavyweight quartet formed in 2005 with the intent of becoming the heaviest band ever to hail from their home city and is, without a doubt, well on the way. Taking inspiration from the lumbering doom of Black Sabbath, Cathedral, Pentagram, Electric Wizard and Sleep, along with the filthy sludge of the likes of Eyehategod, they impress with their ability to embody everything from all out aggression to hypnotic psychedelia and earth moving stoner grooves.

 
Local acts Clagg, Pod People, Looking Glass, D’usk, Hydromedusa, Mother Mars, Space Bong, The Devil Rides Out, Summonus and more will be enticing fans to various venues across the country in October.

 
So if you’re a fan of heavy music of the truly underground variety, Doomsday Festival 2011 is here to torment you in all the right ways. Brutal!
