Norwegians black metallers Ulver will play their first and only UK show outside London when they headline the Terrorizer Stage at the seventh instalment of Damnation.

Joining them at the one-day indoor metal event will be their countrymen Shining, and London instrumental four piece Astrohenge who all will appear at University of Leeds Union, on Bonfire Night, Saturday 5th November 2011.

The three acts add to the line-up of Decapitated, Doom, Amplifier and Dragged Into Sunlight, with headliners and many more bands yet to be announced across at least three stages.

Festival director Gavin McInally, said, "We're generally excited about the bands we confirm, but the capture of Ulver for an exclusive show - and their first in the UK outside the London - is a bit special.

"The unique black jazz of Shining and experimental slabs of metal of Astrohenge are also fitting examples of what Damnation Festival is all about - offering fans something a bit different to well worn line-ups hosted across the country.

"We're throwing everything we have at making this line-up our best yet and with the continued support of the fans, Damnation Festival 2011, will be another blinding chapter not to be missed."
