http://www.roadburn.com/2(...)val-the-afterburner/http://www.roadburn.com/2(...)estival-afterburner/http://www.roadburn.com/2(...)omer-pyle-confirmed/Were delighted to say that this years additional Afterburner event, set for Sunday, April 17th, 013 venue, Tilburg, Holland, has become a full day of the Roadburn Festival. Not only will we be using the main stage to welcome Black Mountain amongst others, but there will be bands playing the Green Room as well, while the Bat Cave will be used for band merchandise.
Were also pleased to announce that Black Mountain, along with Dead Meadow, Blood Farmers, Black Pyramid, Dragontears (playing a second show at Roadburn 2011) and Gomer Pyle been confirmed the 2011 Afterburner. Its also true that were talking to Sourvein and Coffins, but nothing has been finalized yet. We just need an extra week or two to work out all the details but were optimistic about bringing these bands to the Afterburner.
As you all have noticed, the overall vibe of the 2011 Afterburner veers towards the old-school Roadburn festivals, as we have put emphasis on classic psychedelic rock, doom and stoner rock like we used to do in the past. It wasnt deliberately put together this way, it just happened organically, but we think its a perfect opportunity for those who want an introduction to the essence of Roadburn in just one day, rather than attending for the whole weekend. Or, for those who are Roadburn veterans and wish to attend both Roadburn and the Afterburner, it presents a complete sampling of what our festival has come to represent.
Experience has shown us that an overwhelming majority of the people want to enjoy the entire Roadburn Festival experience, including the Afterburner, so we will be offering 4 day-passes, as well as additional (separate) Afterburner tickets as always. Separate tickets for the Afterburner are available for ¤ 25. or the complete 4-day pass for Roadburn and Afterburner is available for ¤ 175. Pre sales will start on Saturday, November 27th.

Roadburn is very excited to report that American doom legends Blood Farmers and psychedelic doomsters Black Pyramid have been confirmed for Roadburn Festival Afterburner, set for Sunday, April 17th, 013 venue, Tilburg, Holland.
With just one offical record, the Blood Farmers established themselves as Americas preeminent horror doom act. Released way back in 1995 on the legendary doom label Hellhound, their eponymous record became an underground legend and kept their name alive for years until they reformed a few years ago.
Their brand of muscular-vocalized classic heavy doom is equal parts New York swagger, supercharged Sabbath riffage, dark and smoky atmosphere combined with a penchant for horror themes (the band is named after a 1972 horror movie Invasion of the Blood Farmers). This is a combination that proved irresistible to doom-heads everywhere. Their record became a touchstone of U.S. doom legend right up there with the Obsessed and St.Vitus, at least among the hardcore followers of the genre. In 2010, they will be gracing the Roadburn stage in one of the most long awaited shows in memory.
Black Pyramid play psychedelic doom metal, with the thick, down-tuned tones of their amplifier worshipping stoner metal contemporaries, but the epic arrangements and classic songwriting of vintage doom acts. The band juxtaposes crushing, triumphant riffs that ring like battle cries with keen instincts for melody and dynamics that showcase their more introspective nature.

Roadburn is very excited to report that Dead Meadow, along with Dragontears and Gomer Pyle have been confirmed for Roadburn Festival Afterburner, set for Sunday, April 17th, 013 venue, Tilburg, Holland.
LAs Dead Meadow generates a unique brand of earthy, heavy psych that moves far beyond any generic Sabbath-riffage or stonerrock gimmickry. The most fragrant ingredients of Dead Meadow are the bands meandering, grooved-out riff- heavy journeys, and the ability to fuse their obvious appreciation of 60s psychedelifa, vintage hard-rock, blues-folk tunes, ambient space-rock with the the literary excesses of H.P. Lovecraft or J.R.R. Tolkien, and all at considerable volume! Distant, high pitched vocals evoke a deleriously eerie atmosphere that plays off well against the bands smoldering jamming style.
Dragontears, revolving around Lorenzo Woodrose and members of Baby Woodrose and On Trial rarely perform live, and besides a few shows in their homeland, the bands only performance outside of Denmark took place at Roadburn 2009. Dragontears has a penchant for mining the psychedelic sounds of the late 60s (think the 13th Floor Elevators meets Syd Barrett or The Silver Apples meets MC5), as showcased on much acclaimed albums like 2000 Micrograms From Home and Tambourine Freak Machine.
Needless to say that were really excited about Dragontears performing a second show at Roadburn 2011, throwing the afterburner attendees into a vortex of fuzz fueled riffs, and bubbly wah-wah guitars, all manipulated to take us into a hypnotic journey through the center of the mind. Or as the band puts it on their latest album Turn On, Tune In, Fuck Off!!
Hollands Gomer Pyle have caused quite a stir with their latest album, Idiots Savants and stunning live performances. Featuring former 35007 drummer Sander Evers, and firmly rooted in Grunge and Stoner, the band tends also to veer off into heavy rocking jamming psychedelia and full blown 35007 Krautrock territory. Deep space liquid trip guitars and killer riffs lead the way as they travel roads paved by acid drenched rock and old time psych. Things get rhythmically cosmic, keeping a nice rolling groove going as the dual, heavy fuzz guitars and drums explore the cosmos in a high intensity workout.
