FROM ROADBURN 2015 PROMOTERS:

Led by Brazilian-born composer Goblin - Claudio Simonetti's, the band will perform the live scores in real time while screening both movies from start to finish, offering our beloved attendees the chance to experience these classic soundtracks and films in an entire new dimension.

This will be the first time that these soundtracks will be performed in The Netherlands and at Roadburn, following the band’s critically acclaimed performance at last year’s festival, when Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin were invited by curator Mikael Åkerfeldt.

The much-anticipated performances will take place on the main stage at the 013 venue on Saturday, April 11 (Dawn of the Dead) and Sunday, April 12 (Suspiria).

Founded in 2004 by guitarist Jura Salmi and vocalist Jan-Erik Kiviniemi,Sammal manages to capture a sense of golden moments in Finnish music. Touching on their culture and heart, and with lyrics sung entirely in Finnish, Sammal shows a masterful, natural command of classic rock with nods to Caravan, Thin Lizzy, Camel, Birth Control, Budgie and the epic guitar journeys of the Allman Brothers.

On Sammal’s eponymous debut album, and follow-up No 2 (both released through Svart Records), you will also find traces of everything that made Love Records and Finnish Prog so beloved, not only in their home country but abroad, too!

Though Sammal have existed for 10 years, they seldom play live gigs (let alone abroad) and in collaboration with Finland’s Blow Up That Gramophone, we are immensely excited to have them at the 20th edition of Roadburn Festival on Saturday, April 11th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands.

Buckle up! Are you ready for some of the filthiest, snottiest, relentless and downright loud crossover thrash this side of early 80s Metallica, Slayer and Suicidal Tendencies? Then look no further, as Chi-town’s Oozing Wound are here to supercharge the 20th edition of Roadburn Festival on Saturday, April 11, 2015 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands.

Hyperbole aside, Oozing Wound’s stoner-tinged, good-humored thrash metal has earned them praise from Terrorizer, Metal Hammer and Decibel among others, as the band’s debut full-length, Retrash (clocking in at just over thirty minutes), is a raucous, volatile, obnoxious, bulldozing affair, which heaves and stomps through righteous thrash with an AmRep noise rock vibe, too!

Oozing Wound are currently set to release Earth Suck, the explosive follow-up to Retrash, on October 20th in Europe via Thrill Jockey Records.

We have a great premiere for you this afternoon from Salem's Pot. Firmly rooted in the red-eyed rituals of the heady ‘60s and dead ‘70s, and shabby, feverish catacomb 8mm smut by the likes of Jess Franco, Sweedens’ Salem’s Pot are about to release the Ego Trip 7” through Easyrider Records / RidingEasy Records on September 16th.

Salem’s Pot – Ego Trip / Yer Doom is bombastic and recommended at high volumes with a healthy dose of marijuana for optimal enjoyment. These are the shortest songs to date that the band will have released and if it is a sign of what is to come, we are all in for a real treat! Don’t believe us, take a listen below.

Germany’s Der Weg einer Freiheit offers a master class in dark, furious and epic black metal as they effortlessly mix blackened grandeur with post-rock sensibilities and classically influenced melodies to create their signature sound.

Der Weg Einer Freiheit‘s latest album, Unstille, released back in 2012, is an emotionally poignant and refreshing affair. Typically slipping from sludgy dirges into a cacophony of blast-beats, distorted guitar and guttural shrieks shot through a myriad of tremolo riffs and soaring leads that constantly weave around each other in immaculate melodic flourishes.

Injecting the best elements of notorious, second wave black metal with brooding, melancholic melodies, but also complex guitar harmonies, puts Der Weg Einer Freiheit in the vanguard of Germany’s engaging black metal movement

Impatiently waiting for the follow up to Unstille , we’ll be anticipating Der Weg Einer Freiheit‘s Roadburn performance on Friday, April 10 at Het Patronaat in Tilburg, The Netherlands just as much.

At long last, Profetus will be conjuring their classic Finnish funeral doom, worthy of comparision to Thergothon, Skepticism and Tyranny (with whom Profetus share members), when they play the 20th edition of Roadburn Festival on Friday, April 10th at Het Patronaat in Tilburg, The Netherlands.

In collaboration with Finland’s Blow Up That Gramophone, we can’t wait for Profetus, who rarely perform live, to slowly break down Het Patronaat by the full crashing weight and momentum of monolithic riffs, slow building drums, guttural vocals and sadly beautiful, but also penetrating church-organ-like synths.

One listen to the band’s latest album, As All Seasons Die (out on Svart Records), will plunge the listener into the cloistered darkness of some solemn church rite evoking a weighty procession; funereal in feel, glacial in pace, resounding of immeasurable eons past.

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
