MY DYING BRIDE:
My Dying Bride have been confirmed to make their Roadburn
Festival debut at the 2017 edition of the festival. As one of the leading
lights of metal during the 90s, where they helped to further define what doom
metal really was and where it could still go, this West
Yorkshire bunch earned a place in metal history. They've done it
all and somehow have managed to remain fresh and inventive.
The influential British doom band will perform a suitably mournful
doom-filled set on Saturday, 22 April, 2017 at the 013 venue.
HYPNOPAZŪZU:
It’s PixieTime
Girls and Boys—
For our HypnoPickNick
Bring Moons and Toys!
We are thrilled to announce that Hypnopazūzu (David Tibet of
Current 93 and Youth of Killing Joke) will perform at Roadburn Festival 2017,
alongside Ulver, on Sunday, April 23 at the 013 venue, Tilburg, The Netherlands. Their album, Create Christ, Sailor Boy, ranks
among our albums of the year at Roadburn HQ, and we cannot wait to witness it
brought to life on stage at Roadburn 2017.
WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM:
Wolves In The Throne Room will be returning to Europe for the first time since 2012, and since they
announced their subsequent hiatus. The band will steer away from the ambient
and ethereal landscapes they created on their 2014 album Celestite, instead
setting their sights on the more raw and earthy sounds from earlier in their
back catalogue. Whatever choice cuts they select to serve up, the set is sure
to be a masterclass in atmospheric black metal from one of the most important
bands to leave their mark on the genre in recent years.
Wolves In The Throne Room will play at Roadburn Festival
2017 on Thursday, April 20, at the 013 venue, Tilburg, The Netherlands.
MEMORIAM:
Bolt Thrower's Karl Willetts started Memoriam as “a
celebration of life through death metal”, and the results are exactly as one
might expect. Having recruited Benediction bassist, Frank Healy, former Bolt
Thrower drummer, Andy Whale, plus guitarist Scott Fairfax, Memoriam are clearly
on an old school, death metal mission.
Willetts commented: "Memoriam are pleased to announce
that they will be playing at the acclaimed Roadburn festival in 2017.
"We have seen this festival grow over the years and for
us to be among the illustrious selection of bands playing this year is an
honour!!! With our debut album to be released sometime early 2017 Roadburn will
give us the opportunity to showcase our new material. Memoriam will unleash its
devastating weaponry upon Roadburn 2017 and provide a true celebration of life
through old school death metal.”
Follow Memoriam onward into battle on Saturday, 22 April
when they play at the 013 venue, Tilburg,
The Netherlands.
WEAR YOUR WOUNDS:
Wear Your Wounds – Converge vocalist Jacob Bannon's
intensely personal project - is an outlet he has been quietly feeding over the
years, a repository for his lo-fi solo recordings that will now finally see the
light. Scheduled for April 7th, just a couple of weeks before Roadburn, Wear
Your Wounds' first self-titled full length has us sitting on our hands with
excitement.
John Dyer Baizley comments:
"I’ve never seen them perform (who has, really?) so it
goes without saying that I will be front and center for this moment. The lineup
for Wear Your Wounds will include the following, in addition to Jake Bannon
himself: Chris Maggio (Sleigh Bells, Trap Them, Coliseum), Mike Mckenzie (The
Red Chord, Stomach Earth, Unraveller) Adam McGrath (Cave In, Zozobra, Nomad
Stones), and Sean Martin (Hatebreed, Twitching Tongues, Kid Cudi, Cage). Don't
let that list fool you, THIS IS NOT A SUPERGROUP, but its hard to deny the
talent and power within those musicians and collaborators. Please don’t miss
the opportunity to witness their first-ever performance.”
CARPENTER BRUT
Carpenter Brut take the essence of metal that you like, the
parts of techno that you used to like and the atmospheric film music of
Carpenter/Argento/Goblin that you love, to create a heady, melodic and intense
genre. This French outfit is taking the synthwave to new and exciting places.
Carpenter Brut play on Saturday, 22 April at the 013 venue, Tilburg.
THOSE POOR BASTARDS:
Sounding like two undead holiness preachers, crawling out of
an abandoned Mississippi
graveyard consumed by the foul bog and delivering their message of the
endtimes, Those Poor Bastards will hover around the next edition of Roadburn
determined to convince you that your eternal soul is already damned beyond
redemption.
With the devil on their trail and the graveyard constantly
looming ahead, Those Poor Bastards will ruin Het Patronaat when they play their
ghoulish songs on Thursday, 20 April at Roadburn 2017 in Tilburg, The Netherlands.
