Stoner Central #40: Superjudge

After their monolithic, overwhelming performance at Roadburn‘s pre-sales party, we’re very pleased to announce that Swedish drone / doom behemoths Switchblade have also been confirmed for Roadburn 2013‘s Afterburner on Sunday, April 21st at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

We simply needed to come full circle in bringing them back, as Switchblade has made a huge impact this year, not only at the aforementioned pre-sales party, but also with the release of their latest, 6th self-titled album.

Thriving on a stripped-down approach of repetitive, slow-burning riffs, heavy slow-mo prog moves, and even hypnotic grooves bolstered by a thrumming, sinister hammond organ, Switchblade utilize their keep-it-simple aesthetic to flesh out a skeletal, haunting doom plod.

Joining drummer Tim Bertilsson and guitarist Johan Folkesson for their one-off Roadburn performance are Per Wiberg (Ex-Opeth and Spiritual Beggars, amongst others) on Hammond organ and Kongh‘s David Johansson (vocals).

Roadburn Festival 2013 will run for four days from Thursday, April 18th to Sunday, April 21st, 2013 (the traditional Afterburner event) at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland. Tickets for the Afterburner are still available!

Dat was de tweede band die speelde tijdens de pre-party toch? Iemand die nog weet hoe dat was? Dacht even dat ze die eerste band geboekt hadden.

We’re excited to present the return of Holland’s very own Herder to Roadburn Festival 2013 on Thursday, April 18th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

After defiling the Roadburn hard rock hideout in 2012, Herder’s mission remains defiantly unchanged: to unleash filthy sludge in an outpouring of deep rumbling decibel quakes in the hellish underbelly of a world gone mad!

With the release of their new 12” Horror Vacui (Reflections Records), Herder is ready to take things a step further. In the band’s own words: “The possible survivors of the smoldering crater that the Herder debut album left after impact are now completely finished off with a furious deathstab to the neck. No mercy, no positivity, no sobriety. Only the strong will be left standing, the rest will have their throats ripped out.”

Conceived in the murky swamps by JB, his accomplices in perpetrating Herder’s relentless pounding stoner doom include past / present members of Dr Doom, Rush N Attack, Aborted, Omission, Urfaust, Born From Pain and The Devil’s Blood.

After a successful tour with the mighty Trevor Dunn filling in on bass guitar duties, we are really excited to announce that metal/grind bass player and breakcore master Jason Köhnen aka Bong-Ra has officially joined Obake. Since his involvement with the Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, Celestial Season and White Darkness (released on Roadburn and Denovali). We are sure we found the perfect fourth member for Obake. Recording sessions of the second album will take place at Metropol Studio in Budapest in November. More to come

We’re very pleased to announce that heavy hitters Lo! have been added to the lineup for Roadburn Festival 2013 on Saturday, April 20th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

Originating from Sydney, Australia, Lo! follow bands like Old Man Gloom on their path down the dirt trail of crushing sludgy, noisy, blackened hardcore.

Heavy on thumping riffs, the band’s impressive debut album, Look and Behold (out on The Ocean‘s Robin Staps‘ Pelagic Records) garnered rave reviews the world over. Sporting an incessant sonic groove, the songs feature cleverly crafted creative melodies while maintaining an emotive and threatening edge.

Most of all, Lo! is intense in attitude and attack. Don’t be surprised if you get caught in a furious pit!

Lo! - Bastion

Named after the priestess of an obscure Mexican blood cult of the 1960’s, Belgium’s Magdalena Solis will bring their cinematic, psychedelic space rock and kosmische krautdrone to Roadburn Festival 2013 on Thursday, April 18th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

Heavily inspired by the films of Alejandro Jodorowsky, Magdalena Solis combine kaleidoscopic, sonic swells, both lush and unsettling at the very same time, with sinister Babylonian imagery. The duo’s heavily layered landscapes of swirling synths, grinding organs, exotic rhythms, clanking industrial noise, thick swaths of serious psych guitar and transcendental visuals / projections are as tripped out as the films that inspired them. Magdalena Solis‘ music shifts constantly from tranquil and dreamlike to blown out, heady and hypnotic by way of smoldering, slow build epics that leave you breathless and altered.

Released by Dying For Bad Music in 2011, Magdalena Solis’ Hesperia ranks amongst some of the best psychedelia we have heard at Roadburn’s HQ in a long while. Get ready for a blissful and surreal sonic journey into the bizarre and most dark corners of your mind!

Roadburn Festival 2013 will run for four days from Thursday, April 18th to Sunday, April 21st, 2013 (the traditional Afterburner event) at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland. Tickets for the Afterburner are still available!

We’re excited to announce that Germany’s post-metal experimentalists The Ocean have been confirmed for Roadburn Festival 2013 on Saturday, April 20th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

Thriving on experimentation and ambition, The Ocean, led by Robin Staps, have managed to sonically outdo their obvious influences by adding their own, unique details to the ear-crushing metal meets post rock hybrid sound.

What sets The Ocean apart is the cohesiveness of albums including Precambrian, Heliocentric and Anthropocentric along with Staps‘ ingenious songwriting. The transitions between divergent styles consistently sound smooth and natural as opposed to sudden and forced.

From metallic bombast to proggy-sludge-score, and from art rock to expressionistic doom, jazz, ambient, electronica and even conventional chamber music, The Ocean runs the gamut of genres like no other.

Without question, The Ocean is one of the most artistic and forward thinking post-metal bands on the scene today.

The Ocean are about to release a triple DVD in February called Collective Oblivion, followed by a new album in May.

Prior to Godflesh’s Pure blitz (set for Saturday, April 20th), ambient / drone-legend Robert Hampson will deliver a solo performance at Roadburn Festival 2013 on Thursday, April 18th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

Robert Hampson is known amongst drone-rock aficionados as the founder of Loop, a seminal band in recent psychedelic music that combined the sentiment of Kraut Rock with the guitar-driven sonic attack of bands like the Stooges and MC5. After becoming increasingly more experimental, Hampson ended Loop and formed Main, a group that became an extremely important fixture in experimental and ambient scenes throughout its 16-year existence.

Dense cyclical guitar manipulations and analogue electronics pulse, ebb and flow in a hazy, almost psychedelic, maelstrom: at times you could say that Hampson is returning to his Loop roots, but is always jittery enough to push forward rather than simply rely on his past.

Roadburn Festival 2013 will run for four days from Thursday, April 18th to Sunday, April 21st, 2013 (the traditional Afterburner event) at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland. Tickets for the Afterburner are still available!
