Serpent Cult cancels, Altar of Plagues ‘White Tomb’ set

Posted on Monday, March 29th, 2010

Owing to personal circumstances Serpent Cult will not be able to participate in Tom Gabriel Warrior’s “Only Death is Real” event at the 013 on Friday, 16 April 2010. We regret the cancellation but are pleased to announce that Ireland’s Altar of Plagues will join the Friday line-up and play the White Tomb album.

The band comments: “Originally it was a huge honour for Altar of Plagues to be invited to play the Roadburn festival, and now to have also been invited by Tom G. Warrior to partake in his “Only Death is Real” event is something we couldn’t have anticipated. We are all very honoured and humbled by the gesture, especially coming from a person which we all hold in such high regard. To make our set different for the “Only Death is Real” event, we will be playing White Tomb in it’s entirety for the first time, which is something we feel will make this a very special and unique event for all involved.”

Black metal is experiencing a strong resurgence, heralding bands that meld elements of the Scandinavian originators 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 fraught 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.

The running order has changed slightly. Longdistancecalling will now start at 21:45 and Altar of Plagues will take the stage at 23:15. Altar of Plagues is also scheduled to perform at Roadburn 2010 on Saturday, 17 April 2010.
