Moss, Brant Bjork & The Bros, Karma To Burn, Mouth of The Architect & Altar of Plagues amongst others confirmed for Roadburn 2010
Posted on Thursday, September 24th, 2009
We are thrilled to announce the following bands that will take part in Roadburn Festival 2010:
Moss
We’ re gonna celebrate the 10th anniversary of Moss on Saturday, April 17th.
Southhampton, England’s Moss is is a three-piece (hammer) horror doom band that formed in 2000. Influenced by H.P. Lovecraft and the occult, songs usually average the 20 minute mark and incorporate dense and otherworldly atmospheres.
With Tombs of the Blind Drugged (released on Rise Above Records -instand cred!), Moss’ unique brand of extremity and terror now reaches new depths as monolithic riffs and gut wrenching vocals wreck and bludgeon but with an added sense for the melodic, and through the use of organ and mysterious chants atmospheres become ever more dense…
Olly Pearson: “Roadburn is the only festival we would leave our tombs for, so with thanks to Walter and the team we are honoured to announce our involvement in the 2010 edition. Not only is this event hosting our first European ritual in 6 years, it will also mark our 10th year of existence. So freaks, worshippers, doomslobs -- come join our morbid celebration…Be forewarned Tilburg, the Blind Drugged are coming to smoke your weed!”
Hailing from Dayton, Ohio, Mouth of the Architect is exploring heavy metal’s more progressive, trance-inducing reaches bringing to mind bands such as Neurosis, Isis, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Mouth of The Architect will play the Thursday, Roadburn date, April 15th.
Master Musicians of Bukkake excels at acoustic ethnic drones, outerwordly chants, and ventures into uncharted Hawkwind, Gong and Magma waters by pairing spacey guitar leanings, Tibetan bells, chimes and gamelan percussion with electronic FX. Totem One could easily be the soundtrack to a fucked-up underground movie as weird and compelling as Alejandro Jodorowsky’s Holy Mountain or El Topo. Crazy!
Master Musicians of Bukkake will appear at the Midi Theatre on Friday, April 16th 2010 as part of the Roadburn Festival. Tom Gabriel Warrior’s curated event “Only Death is Real” will be held on the same day at the 013 venue.
The recently reformed Karma To Burn are recommended to anyone who’s a fan of the Almighty Riff. Devoid of songtitles or even choruses, Karma To Burn’s instrumental rock never gets boring and grooves even if you don’t want to.
Karma To Burn will also appear at the Midi Theatre on Friday, April 16th 2010 as part of the Roadburn Festival.
Black metal is experiencing a strong resurgence as of late, heralding bands which meld elements of their Scandinavian forefathers with more experimental concepts. A plethora of new bands with ambient, jazz, doom and blackened elements from across the metal spectrum have gained notoriety, pumping new life into a genre wrought with stereotypes.
Integrating the frantic production of Scandinavian black metal with the ambience of post metal is Ireland’s Altar of Plagues, whose debut album White Tomb is a definitive statement regarding the abilities of the genre. Altar of Plagues will be playing the Saturday Roadburn date, April 17th.
Staying deeply rooted in a genre all its own, Yakuza’s existence lies on a metal base with progressive flair, while somehow also incorporating elements of jazz, world beat, and post-rock ambience. Picture (if you can) a mixture of King Crimson, all periods of John Coltrane’s career, Tortoise, and Napalm Death. The end result is captivating, a sound that Rolling Stone, Revolver, Alternative Press, the Chicago Sun Times, the Chicago Tribune, All That Jazz and countless others all agree is refreshingly original, technically proficient, all the while still staying very metal.
Bruce Lamont: “On behalf of Yakuza i cannot tell how excited we are to start our 2010 european tour at Roadburn. We hail from Chicago IL and have been a band working on the fringe of this and that for 10 years now. Not a better place on earth to showcase ourselves. thanks and see u there!”
Yakuza will be playing the Saturday, Roadburn date, April 17.
Desert rock-pioneer and former Kyuss / Fu Manchu drummer Brant Bjork is an underground legend in his own time. He shouldn’t need no further introduction.
Brant Bjork & The Bros will be playing the Saturday Roadburn date, April 17th
