Day of Darkness was the original name of Ireland's D.O.D. Festival. The day of Darkness is the time when evil monsters of hell are released for 24 hours. It is said to happen on June 1st 2010. It is something that can be considered the scariest day of the year. Also known as when darkness comes out and plays. There are numerous accounts of attacks on this day. It can be considered the Apocolypse possibly

The 2002 line-up was headlined by Primordial and was enough of a success to be run for a second year in 2003. Numbers however dwindled that year and a number of changes were implemented before the festival's third running in 2004. The addition of international bands Dismember and Ancient Rites among other factors led to an increased attendance that year.

In 2005 the festival was moved to the first week in July and has been held on the same weekend each year since. In 2006 a second day was added to the festival and camping tickets were introduced for the first time.

The festival is easily Ireland's largest independently run heavy metal festival hosting more bands, attracting more fans and being the only Irish metal festival to include its own campsite.

There will be no festival in 2009, but D.O.D. will return in 2010.
