Northern Denmark’s prime metal festival, Day of Decay, is set to destroy the city of Aalborg on May 18th, 2012. This year, the annual festival is taking place at Aalborg Studenterhuset, and the first confirmed bands are none other than the death metal veterans Krisiun; the melodic metal masters Mercenary; and the upcoming local thrash heroes Caro (formerly Omen).

Additionally the young tech death act Obscura and the Norwegian prog-outfit Leprous are set to hit the festival.

“We are very proud to announce Krisiun – one of the greatest deathmetal bands around today. Having them play in Aalborg certainly is a big thing,” says Carsten Brogaard Pedersen, chairman of the Music Association Day of Decay, the organization behind the festival.

In the past two years, the festival took place at two different outdoor venues, but this year Day of Decay is going down at an indoor location. “To us, as festival organizers, the collaboration with Studenterhuset entails a lot of advantages; and it is cool having a professional and experienced music venue to back us up – this is going to be the best Day of Decay so far!” says Carsten.

Day of Decay 2012 will feature around 10 bands comprised of international and Danish top acts as well as local bands. The organizers have formed a partnership with W:O:A Metal Battle which means that the Danish winners will perform at Day of Decay.

Tickets are DKK 250 (34 Euro for all you non-Danish readers) plus a fee, and they can be purchased online at www.billetlugen.dk  as well as all other outlets of Billetlugen.
