More bands announced for Roadburn 2010: Eyehategod, Outlaw Order and Jarboe

Roadburn is beyond thrilled to report that seminal  New Orleans, Louisiana sludge-legends EYEHATEGOD, along with Outlaw Order and Jarboe will be part of the festival line-up on Thursday, 15 April 2010.

Self-hating riff worshippers rejoice! EYEHATEGOD, the legendary Southern hardcore-blues-sludge-and-doom group from Katrina-ravaged New Orleans has been confirmed for Roadburn Festival 2010. With its hateful, hopeless, anguished vocals set against extra-slow Iommi-inspired riffing, EYEHATEGOD are credited with founding sludge-core, one of the most vital new genres of metal to emerge from the 1990’s.
Countless bands have followed their footsteps, and after almost 20 years of creating some of the most corrosive, vile
music known to man, EYEHATEGOD still hasn’t lost the piss and vinegar, propaganda, and despair that fueled them back in 1998.

United under a war banner of negativity, and set to blast the system with a hardcore punk twist to the N’awlins sound of rebellion and pollution, Outlaw Order (also known as OO%)  is comprised of several members of Nola conspiracists Eyehategod, Soilent Green and Hawgjaw. Outlaw Order is very sonically similar to Eyehategod, and their debut full-length, Draggin Down The Enforcer, has definitely captured the sludgy vibe of the dirty south, fused with a fucked-up, punk sensibility.

Former Swans chanteuse Jarboe has aligned herself with the constantly mutating world of Avant-Metal by her recent collaborations with Neurosis, Cobalt and Jesu. She has also forged her own path with her feminine take on NYC dirge. Heavy, operatic and hypnotic, Jarboe’s hydra-head vocals vary from waif whispers to shrieking litanies, offering sonic violence and succor at the very same time.
