FM Brussel: Mental Roadburn Report

Posted on Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

What’s the loudest and heaviest program that FM Brussel 98.8 has to offer? Mental! Metal, death, black, doom, stoner, rock and roll, punk, hardcore: as long as it’s loud, heavy, mean, ugly, extreme, filthy, fast, underground, or any combination of the above, Mental is where you will hear it.

In April 2011, Mental hosts Saïd and Geert escaped from the studio and descended on Tilburg, where they proceeded to collar unsuspecting fans, café employees, 013 volunteers, crew, photographers, artists and band members all in the name of cracking the Roadburn code.

Shifting between Flemish, Dutch, English and French with the speed and enthusiasm of Dan Mongrain’s fret work, the tireless Mental duo scoured the festival in search of answers to such questions as: What is it about this festival that draws rabid music lovers from around the world? Why do bands love playing here? Who comes up with the Roadburn menus at local restaurants?

TUNE IN and hear what everyone had to say, including Roadburn organizers Walter and Jurgen, Louise (Terrorizer Magazine), Bobby and Victor (Pentagram / Place of Skulls), Blacky (Voivod), Marcel (Astrosoniq / SpaceJam Recordings), David (Roadburn 2011 artist), Ester Segarra (photographer/ listen here), André (Aardschok magazine), various volunteers and plenty of new and returning Roadburn festivalgoers!
