Roadburn 2018 Adds Godflesh, Boris, & Waste Of Space Orchestra
…
The latest iteration of Roadburn is shaping up to be a real barn burner. The festival, based out of Tilburg, Netherlands, has announced another batch of artists, joining the ranks of Converge, Bell Witch, Crowbar, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Panopticon, Cult of Luna, and more. In addition to that already ridiculously stacked line up, Converge frontman and 2018 curator has added Godflesh, Motorpsycho, Forgotten Tombs, and a collaborative set from Thou and The Body.
Collaboration is a key theme in this batch of announcements. Japanese drone masters Boris will be teaming up with Sunn O))) guitarist Stephen O’Malley for a performance of their debut album Absolutego. Oranssi Pazuzu and Dark Buddha Rising will be teaming up as the “Waste Of Space Orchestra” to perform a multimedia piece commissioned by the festival itself. The two Finnish bands should have no problem mind-melding considering that they both dive deep into the world of psychedelia and drawn-out vamps, a wonderful fit for the audio/visual narrative the festival is cooking up.
If these collaborations aren’t quite your speed, Roadburn will also feature sets from Hooded Menace (performing Fulfil the Curse), Khemmis, Kairon: IRSE!, and black metal act Zuriaake, the first band from China to perform at the festival.
