Incineration Festival (Stephen Moss)
Listen now
Description
Stephen Moss, organiser of the UK's biggest black metal event, Incineration,  talks about having to postpone the festival for the second year. The frustration of finally landing Emperor but not being able to go ahead with the show, the challenges of making sure bands with a dodgy pasts don't end up on the line-up and the acceptance of £100 parking fines and costly hotel rooms in the capital. He also discusses co-founding his own agency, Echelon, last year and building a roster which already includes the likes of Incantation, A Pale Horse Named Death, Abigail Williams and Conan. And the awkward, and sometimes costly, balance of playing the part of both agent and promoter for the same band. #incineration #damnationvs For further info on Damnation Vs, or Damnation Festival visit: damnationversus.buzzsprout.com damnationfestival.co.uk facebook.com/damnationfestival instagram.com/damnationfestival twitter.com/damnationfest *Please like, subscribe, comment and engage.
