For Immediate Release
NEUROSIS AND ROADBURN ANNOUNCE OM, SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE, SKULLFLOWER AND
A STORM OF LIGHT
FOR BEYOND THE PALE @ ROADBURN 2009
"Om is the heaviest band to ever walk the face of the earth" -- Scott
Kelly, Neurosis.
OM, Six Organs of Admittance, Skullflower and A Storm of Light, along with
Neurosis have been confirmed for the inaugural European version of Neurosis'
acclaimed Beyond The Pale festival, set to be held at Roadburn 2009 on
Saturday, April 25.
"Om is such a rare bird in the vast landscape that is sound, music, art,
and emotive expression that they absolutely defy description", says Scott
Kelly, "The straightest line is the quickest path to the godhead, Om know
this, it is the foundation of their mountain. The meditative nature of the
patterns and rhythms found within the speaker flexing sonic blanket that
they weave is unparalleled. Om is the heaviest band to ever walk the face of
the earth."
"Josh Graham is a prolific individual, a man driven to create. In the years
that we have spent together collaborating in Neurosis he has shown himself
to be a visionary artist as well as a diligent worker. A Storm Of Light is
born of this obsession; it is an ominous sound, a cloud of oppressive
doomage. Equal parts heavy and hypnotic, A Storm Of Light is a band grown
from truth."
Steve Von Till comments: "All must bow before the pagan wall of drone --I
couldn't agree more with the opening quote of Skullflower's semi-official
website. Hearing the tortured distorted and eerily shamanic drones emanate
from the stereo for the first time in the early nineties was truly a
revelation. "IIIrd Gatekeeper" and "Obsidian Shaking Codex" are two of my
all time favorite albums and have been extremely influential on the way my
brothers and I approach guitar-based heavy music: to grab an electric
guitar, drive a loud amplifier to its physical limit, and ride the drone
into oblivion is ecstasy, and Matthew Bower has been showing us all how it
is done for 20-odd years. Finally after all these years we will all get to
witness the power together at Beyond The Pale 2009."
"The words "psych folk', although being a genre of music I feel a passion
and affinity for, have begun to lose their meaning and significance over the
last several years. A so-called "revival" has dredged up wave upon wave of
shallow rehash. Ben Chasny and his Six Organs of Admittance, often tagged by
that limiting genre, is a bright flower of inspiration to bring us all hope
and remind us that as movements devolve, free spirits can rise above and
remain vital among the pale imitators. Fearless and able to avoid the
pitfalls and traps of classification he has constantly managed to play
cathartic soul music.Not "soul" music, but music that accompanies
transformation and the journey of one's spirit. We are pleased to have this
tonal psychonaut join us for this special event."
Also scheduled to appear at Beyond The Pale / Roadurn 2009 are The Young
Gods, Akimbo, Guapo and U.S. Christmas, with more bands to be announced.
Roadburn 2009 will run for three days from Thursday, April 23 to Saturday,
April 25 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland. There will be an additional
Afterburner event on Sunday, April 26, 2009. Pre sales for Beyond The Pale /
Roadburn 2009 will start, Saturday, December 13th. More info about Roadburn,
including confirmed bands for Beyond The Pale and the full festival will
follow soon.
