Urfaust To Make Rare Dutch Appearance at Roadburn 2012 Afterburner

Posted on Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

Dutch outsider black metal / doom experimenters Urfaust will be  appearing at Roadburn‘s 2012 Afterburner on Sunday, April 15th in Tilburg, Holland. As long time fans of the band, we are ecstatic that they will be playing a rare live show and bringing their totally unique musical vision to the festival. Last year’s Der Freiwillige Bettler was the strongest album of the bands career and a truly groundbreaking album that ripped up any neat and tidy genre classifications by blurring the lines of black metal, doom and ambient into a potent, highly original style of metal.
