We’re are excited to announce that blackened doom metallers Saturnalia Temple and occult rockers Year of the Goat have been added to the lineup for Roadburn Festival 2012.
Sweden’s occult blackened doom metallers Saturnalia Temple are gaining a well-deserved buzz from the metal underground by laying down lysergically thick distorted riffs, super hypnotic pulsating grooves, heavily processed vocals, and druggy effects. This is tripped out, downtuned heaviness at its most carnal, the band slipping from swirling occultic atmospheres to super psychedelic and seriously fucked-up tranced out stoner doom rituals.
Saturnalia Temple‘s latest album, Aion of Drakon, is far out, mesmerizing and just might be your new favorite slo mo metal album. Come my fanatics, join the coven, and freak out over Saturnalia Temple on Thursday, April 12 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.
Just like Saturnalia Temple, Sweden’s Year of the Goat are creating quite a buzz in the rock underground with the release of their much acclaimed debut EP, Lucem Ferre (Latin for The bringer of light / The son of desert fire).
Year the Goat are inspired by the occult rock bands of the late sixties and early seventies, however, the inspiration is not so much musical as it is about the subject matter of the lyrics and the picture they paint of pagan rituals, Satanism and the dark arts. Year of the Goat don’t really recreate the musical stylings of that era. Instead, the band adds a modern feel to their 70′s flavored occult rock, with an almost prog rock or even indie rock approach to it.
Year of the Goat don’t shy away from using catchy hooks, both vocally and guitar-wise, giving rise to amazing passages like “walk through the mist, to an ancient place, gathering for the King, to invoke his name, potion from the darkest well, opens for pagan souls, hear the angels of heaven wailing, as they call for the lord of darkness…” (taken from Of Darkness).
Year of The Goat are currently working on their debut full-length, which will be released on Van Records next year.
Both Year of The Goat and Saturnalia Temple will play on Thursday, April 12th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.
