BEERMAGEDDON Release New Charity Single ‘Anthem’ in Aid of RACPA

Following the success of this years SOLD OUT! Beermageddon Festival today release their Beermageddon Anthem on all digital platforms with all the proceeds going to RACPA to help their work with victims of child abuse.

The single written in 2014 by Roddy O’Donnell for an appearance at the festival had became the anthem for Beermageddon being played across the weekend, and being instantly recognisable by the festival goers.

In 2022 the song was performed live once again by Roddy’s new band Cuttin’ Edge and after seeing the reception the band went into the studio and recorded the song giving the festival all the rights to the single to raise money for Rock Against Child Pornography and Abuse, the accompanying video produced by Rob Morgan features footage from Beermageddon Festival.

At Beermageddon we have always striven to support the amazing work that RACPA do, they have been regulars at the festival from day one, and are loved by the “Geddonites” but on a more serious side they are always there with a friendly smile and ready to chat providing an invaluable service with their trained counsellors available to assist our metal horde, be it with advice on keeping young people safe, helping victims of abuse become survivors, or even just being a friendly ear for anyone who may be feeling down at the event.

We all know “it’s OK to not be OK”

BEERMAGEDDON are back with another announcement for this years festival:

A definitive pioneer of metal, a true visionary in all that is heavy, 25 years on since the formation, Martin Walkyier, the founding father of Britain’s premier pagan metal band will return to the stage at Beermageddon.

Skyclad have long since been renowned as “the ultimate pagan metal band” and the first definitive decade influenced an entire generation, shaping the entire genre, now once again we will witness Skyclad in it’s true glory, as intended from conception, the Skyclad that impacted metal like no incarnation since.

Martin Walkyier once again goes SKYCLAD at Beermageddon!

MARTIN-WALKYIER

The Heaviest of Grooves at Beermageddon ‘BY DEFINITION’

Brand new to Beermageddon are Brighton’s gritty, hard and heavy rockers ‘BY DEFINITION’. A band that takes the traditional cliches associated with Rock and Metal and leaves them firmly at the door. A band that makes it their aim to shake their audience to the bone.

Having played some huge stages, with big, big names, their shows are renowned for driving riffs, raw vocals and fat bass, By Definition apply their unique sense of humour to every trope in the genre.

And now they bring it all to Beermageddon!

Brutality at Beermageddon with….CODEX ALIMENTARIUS

Bringing the brutality from the Southwest with an unrivaled passion, Beermageddon welcomes CODEX ALIMENTARIUS!

Codex are a band with huge pedigree, and well deserved recognition they are a must see….

With promise of a powerful and energetic stage performance with a no-holds-barred attitude Codex Alimentarius embrace a new age of more bone crushing, brutal style of metal driven by a groove/thrash/classical Infusion.

Beermageddon, brace yourself for brutality!

Scottish PUNK is BACK……..Zero Hour bring the punk back to Beermageddon!!

As always Beermageddon will kick off with a party atmosphere and after the pogo’ing love of punk in 2014 we had to bring back some grappling goodness with ZERO HOUR!

Making the trip from North of the Border, Zero Hour provide the full on ferocity of old school punk in it’s finest.

There’s no holds barred when Zero Hour take the stage, the true meaning of punk personified, raw and pure fun.

Beermageddon will be bouncing for sure as we kick off the proceedings with the one and only….ZERO HOUR!

From adversity to Beermageddon….DESIGNS OF CHAOS

Hailing from the Southeast and originally booked for Beermageddon 2014 we are proud to unleash the face ripping fury of pure metal courtesy of DESIGNS OF CHAOS

Tragedy struck the band in 2014 with the untimely death of drummer Chris Crammond.

This left Designs of Chaos in turmoil struggling with their grief and unsure which direction was best for the band, following this we said their slot at Beermageddon would always be open, and in celebration of Chris’ memory they will take this years festival by storm with an unrivaled live show and presence on stage that demands heads must bang, crushing riffs, melody, blistering solo’s, break neck beats and brutally powerful vocals will make for an awesome experience.

Designs of Chaos provide a presence on stage that demands that heads will bang, and they bring the whole experience to Beermageddon 2014 all in the memory of our fallen brother Chris Crammond.

There’s thrash metal, and then there’s anger-fuelled, technical thrash metal from Belgium, and that is what we will witness at Beermageddon as we welcome SANITY’S RAGE. Taking the classic thrash style and introducing a modern twist. Sanity’s Rage give us the fast pace and aggression synonymous with the genre and so much more which is epitomised in their brand new album ‘You Are What You Swallow’ which has been heralded as “an absolute powerful thrash grenade” and after a recent trip to the UK they are ready to return to get heads banging at Beermageddon!!!!

This band of cut throats, epic Vikings and blood-thirsty warriors take you on a handsome journey of plunder and piracy as they take the stage on our renowned Friday party night. Red Rum are an intense six-piece folk metal band that combines a deadly mix of ultra-low tuned 7 and 8 string guitars and beautiful mandolin and keyboard melodies, not to mention the epically powerful vocals. So me’ hearties prepare to swab the decks as Red Rum join us to set sail on the good ship Beermageddon!!!!

Beermageddon welcomes the metal juggernaut ENGRAVED DISILLUSION.
