Huata Added To Lineup For Voivod’s Au-delà du Réel at Roadburn 2012

Posted on Thursday, January 26th, 2012

We’re very pleased to announce that Huata will bring their vintage stoner doom ceremony to Voivod‘s curated Au-delà du Réel event at the 2012 Roadburn fest on Friday, April 13th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

Hailing from France, Huata‘s debut album, Atavist of Mann, is downtuned heaviness at its most carnal; the band excavates occult atmospheres by way of hammond organs, thick lysergic riffs and gloomy rituals that show a disturbingly blackened picture of the dark arts.

With the addition of Huata to Voivod‘s curated Au-delà du Réel event , the line-up for Friday, April 13th is complete.

Praise for Cold Body Radiation‘s Deer Twillight from San Francisco’s aQuarius Records: The 2010 full length from these Dutch avant shoegaze black metallers was one of our favorite records that year, but for whatever reason we were never able to get enough copies to review on the list.

Album of the day: King Giant – Dismal Hollow

Posted on Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

Lovingly pinched from Metal Underground.com: What if instead of hailing from the industrial brimstone of Birmingham, England, Black Sabbath had risen from the backwoods of Appalachia? Odds are, I think, that the result would sound quite a lot like King Giant‘s Dismal Hollow, a doomy, southern-fried affair that features plenty ...read more

Album of the day: Monarch – Omens

Posted on Monday, January 23rd, 2012

Lovingly pinched from Lurker: Witchcraft, in all of its manifestations, has a strong appeal for visual and music artists given its implicit mysticism and strong lore, evoking those primal, vague memories of forests, torched wood, pale sand and shadowy creatures of the night. Man alone against Nature, attempting to explain ...read more
