For Immediate Release
REACTIVATED NWOBHM LEGENDS ANGEL WITCH, BARONESS & MINSK CONFIRMED FOR ROADBURN FESTIVAL 2009
Reactivated NWOBHM legends ANGEL WITCH [based in London, UK] have been confirmed for the Friday Roadburn date, April 24, alongside Cathedral & Saint Vitus and more.
Firmly rooted in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, ANGEL WITCH, comprised of guitarist and vocalist Kevin Heybourne, Chris Fullard [guitar], Will Palmer [bass] & Andy Prestidge [drums] will celebrate the genre's 30th anniversary by playing songs from the band's legendary S/T debut album, and singles from that era.
Roadburn is also pleased to report that post-metal stalwarts BARONESS and MINSK have been confirmed for the Thursday Roadburn date, April 23rd.
"Baroness' "Red Album" has pushed them to the forefront of underground metal. Combining thunderous riffs, roaring vocals and crashing drums, the band has created a monumental record that soars, thanks to its mainly instrumental focus. With their music created in the same vein as former label mates Mastodon, the 'Red Album' is an epic math-metal and prog-infused masterwork that never slows down- save for when the acoustic rears its beautiful head at just the right moments' -- Sarah Kitteringham, Roadburn

I can think of few other festivals who so wholly mirror our magazine's own passion for the riff, are as enthusiastic about those unique artists that push the boundaries of extreme music and are as obsessed with searching out the most exciting bands on the planet.
