Next month, heavy metal fans will descend on Leeds University for the annual Damnation Festival<\/b>. Now in its 13th year, the festival is set to once again deliver the best in heavy metal, doom, sludge and more. The 2017 edition sees the festival become more diverse with post-rock, progressive rock, and post-punk.<\/p>\n

Joining the likes of Bloodbath, Sodom, Paradise Lost, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Pallbearer, Nails, Nordic Giants, Agent Fresco, and Grave Pleasures on the bill next month are Sweden’s The Great Discord<\/b>. Fresh off the release of ‘The Rabbit Hole’<\/i> earlier this month, it sees the quintet take a theatrical exploration of the idea of “there can be no light without darkness”<\/i>. As its title suggests, it takes you down a lyrically intriguing rabbit hole. At the forefront of The Great Discord<\/b> is the impressive vocal talent of Fia Kempe. Revolving around tech\/prog metal, her infectious delivery adds grandeur with songs such as ‘Omen’<\/i>, ‘Noire’<\/i> and ‘Gadget’<\/i> capturing their blend of pop, metal and prog perfectly. While the haunting ‘Neon Dreaming’<\/i> serves as a mesmerizing standout.<\/p>\n

As they prepare to make their mark at Damnation Festival<\/b>, we spoke The Great Discord<\/b>’s drummer Aksel Holmgren as he recommends five bands to see at the festival.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bloodbath<\/h2>\n

Showcasing everything that’s awesome about death metal. This is a show you can\u2019t miss.<\/p>\n

Nails<\/h2>\n

A new-ish acquaintance, HM2 buzzsaw guitars, God City production, sheer aggression, what\u2019s not to like?<\/p>\n

Leprous<\/h2>\n

Norway\u2019s masters of the progressive, always complex and evolving but retaining clear melodies that stick with you. <\/p>\n

PG.Lost<\/h2>\n

Our brothers from Norrk\u00f6ping. Cinematic post-rock at it\u2019s finest. An adventure in sound.<\/p>\n

The Great Discord<\/h2>\n

Theatrical, melodic with a big emphasis on stage presence. Singer Fia Kempe is a force of nature. Be there or be square.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

‘The Rabbit Hole’<\/i> by The Great Discord<\/b> is out now on The Sign Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n
