Roadburn Festival is beyond excited to report that SARKE, the Norwegian band featuring Sarke and Nocturno Culto, BOHREN & DER CLUB OF GORE, SUMA and LONG DISTANCE CALLING have been confirmed for Tom Gabriel Warrior’s Only Death Is Real at Roadburn Festival 2010.
SARKE’s music and lyrics are written by its namesake Sarke. He has previously spread his angry art through Khold, Tulus, Old Man’s Child and Sensa Anima. Joining him on his musical quest is Darkthrone’s Nocturno Culto, whose distinctive vocals combine with Sarke’s music to create another blackened chapter to the grim book of extreme metal. Inspired by the forefathers, but distinctly new and original.
SARKE’s debut album Vorunah was recorded in old-fashioned analog style, with a brutal, in-your-face sound inspired by the likes of Black Sabbath, Celtic frost, Candlemass, Mayhem and Motorhead.
“This is a great honor for SARKE, to be invited by Tom to perform at Roadburn is something that took us by black magic surprise. Some of you might know that Tom joined forces with us at our performance at Wacken in August 2009, which is something we will never forget. The respect we have for Tom and his music is neverending.
We’re looking forward to performing at Roadburn, and we will be introducing new songs into the set. To witness Triptykon live will be something to remember as well. See you all there, UGH!” –Sarke & Nocturno Culto, December 2009.
“We always admired Tom G. Warrior for the radicalism and the courage displayed in his music, which helped us to broaden our musical horizons and find a musical language of our own. He has been a model for us to this day and we are very happy to be invited by Tom to become a part of this special event at this special festival” – Christoph, Bohren & der Club of Gore.
“We are truly honored to be invited by Tom to take part in “Only Death Is Real” at Roadburn. Awesome lineup and proud to be part of it. New material will be unleashed upon ya’ll from new album “Ashes” – set to be released in Feb 2010. Expect pure mayhem. Blaze” - Johan, Suma.
“We were very surprised and happy when Tom called us personally last week to invite us to his “Only Death Is Real” day at 2010´s Roadburn Festival. Tom is a real artist and it feels great to be artistically respected by someone who deserves OUR deepest respect for his art created over the last two and a half decades.
This is our second time at Roadburn (we already played in 2008) and it´s an honour to be on Tom´s wish list for this special and extraordinary event so we are really looking forward to get the chance to witness Triptykon´s first ever live performance while having a great time at Roadburn, meeting a lot of nice and interesting fans and bands and of course to present our latest album “Avoid The Light” to open minded people from all over the world” -Jan Hoffmann, Long Distance Calling.
In addition, Tom Gabriel Warrior will introduce his new incarnation, TRIPTYKON, who will make their on-stage debut at Roadburn Festival 2010 in the headlining slot in support of their forthcoming album, titled Eparistera Daimones.

Long distance calling… yesss!
I’d love to see Dark Throne added to the bill
Unfortunately that’s not gonna happen.
Yes, I love ‘Bohren & der Club of Gore’, I’m glad the rumors were true.
Long Distance Calling playing at Roadburn again. That’s great news. To bad that there playing in the batcave. That’s to small. I saw them in 2008 at the roadburn festival. Loved them ever since. They were playing on the main stage then. That’s much better. But I’ll try to get in. It’s always crowded there.
