Gloom in the Sunshine

After an almost completely crap summer the Irish weather is once again threatening to ruin the fun of Ireland’s long suffering gig goers. This time however, bizarrely it’s the threat of sunshine that that will be weighing heavy on the minds of the organisers of Ireland’s newest all day metal affair, Dublin Doom Day, running tomorrow in Dublin.
Not only will the forecast September sunshine lessen the appeal of heading along to the show’s new venue Fibber Magees on Dublin’s Parnell St during the hours of daylight, but for a Doom metal gig, the Indian Summer feel will hardly add to the atmosphere.
None the less, for those willing to brave the elements, here is the running order:
The Lamp of Thoth 00.15-01.30
Saturnus 22.35-23.50
Esoteric 21:00-22.15
Graveyard Dirt 19.30-20.30
The Prophecy 17.35-18.25
Wreck of the Hesperus 16.45-17.20
Council of Tanith 15.55-16.30
On Pain of Death 15.05-15.40
Dwell in Sun 14.15-14.50
Paddy Metal’s picks are Esoteric, Graveyard Dirt and Wreck of the Hesperus. Expect a packed beer garden too!
