HEAVY DAYS IN DOOMTOWN 2012 will feature notable doom acts WORSHIP, COFFINS, SOLSTICE, NOOTHGRUSH, LORD VICAR and many more. 


FROM HEAVY DAYS IN DOOMTOWN PROMOTERS: 
  "Heavy Days In Doomtown -a DIY celebration of all things slow and heavy" will be a 4 day event at 3 different venues in Copenhagen:
-a warmup show at the alternative venue Stengade, Stengade 18
-2 days of music, art, events and madness at the DIY activist driven social centre Ungdomshuset, Dortheavej 61
- a cooldown day in Copenhagens freetown Christiania with moviescreenings, accoustic outdoor shows and the final concert at Christianias finest rockclub Loppen.

The festival is organized by the association "Undergrundsmusikens Fremme" (translated: Undergroundmusic promotion) based in Copenhagen, Denmark. The association has for the past two years been organizing the successful DIY Death Metal Festival "Kill-Town Death Fest" (www.killtowndeathfest.dk) and has now spread its ventures to the doomspectre.

The whole event is organized by the DIY principles, which means that neither the organizers, the bands or the people who work at the fest are making any profit, and our main purpose besides having an amazing fest full of heavy music, is to promote the DIY principles to the genres who doesn’t usually organize this way.

Besides music, were inviting a bunch of great artists to come and make installations, visuals and more before and during the festival to make the expeirence of the fest visual as well as musical.

We hope to see all of you in Copenhagen in May for Europes heaviest underground event of 2012!

Instead we bring to you, from the darkest corner of Denmark: ALTAR OF OBLIVIO
N!
These Danish epic doom metallers have caused quite a commotion with their 3 releases, mainly their much acclaimed full-length from 2009 "Sinews of Anquish".

Altar of Oblivion have been so kind to fill in the spot last minute and we are very grateful for this.
We have been forced to change a bit in the running order to fit them in the program. There´s still a few more details that will fall into place before we can announce the updated running order, but you can see Altar of Oblivion Saturday night. Time and stage will be announced as soon as possible, so keep updated here or on our website.
Cheers and see you soon!
