Sourvein and Coffins Join Roadburn Festival Afterburner

Roadburn is very excited to report that Sourvein, along with Coffins, have been confirmed for Roadburn Festival Afterburner, set for Sunday, April 17th, 013 venue, Tilburg, Holland.

Featuring former members of 13 and Buzzov’en in their ranks, Sourvein offers low-tuned, balls out, southern sludge metal. Word on the streets is that they have been slaying audiences across the US for the last couple of years with their heavy-as-fuck assault.

Influenced by old school 80s and 90s doom and  thrash, Japan’s Coffins death metal onslaught also shows some heavy and oppressive sludge metal tendencies keeping them somewhere near the doom category, despite the band’s occasional upbeat parts or outbursts of speed. Since 1996, Coffins has put out crushing release after release culminating into 2008′s Buried Death, a punishing masterpiece of death doom (think Come my Fanatics-era  Electric Wizard  playing death metal, and you get Coffins).

Also confirmed for the Afterburner are Black Mountain, Dead Meadow, Black Pyramid, Blood Farmers, Dragontears and Gomer Pyle.
