'Roadburn' have announced pitch-Black experimental Avant-Drone trio LOCRIAN will be enshrouding the 2014 festival in their blackened pall. Playing what will be their very first show on European soil, the grim Chicago post-industrialists will be bringing their nebulous Drones, uncomfortable ambience and buried Black-metallic shrieks to 'Roadburn' at Het Patronaat in Tilburg, The Netherlands on Thursday April 10th.
LOCRAIN's latest album "Return To Annihilation" is streaming in its entirety via Bandcamp HERE.
Texas' finest purveyors of melancholy heaviness, TRUE WIDOW, will infuse 'Roadburn' festival 2014 with songs of sadness and gorgeous crumbling distortion. Their relentlessly tired and dark sound is reminiscent of CODEINE mixed with 16 HORSEPOWER, but with more of a metal background than either band. Usually you know a band is good when critics have to make up new words to describe their style and that is definitely the case with Doomgazers TRUE WIDOW. While their sound isn't actually very doomy or shoegaze-y, it is beautifully dark and crumbly and catchy.
TRUE WIDOWS' latest album "Circumambulation" (out on Relapse Records) is a tiny bit brighter and clearer than their first two records, but holds true to the darkly-repetitive-riffs-slowly-baked-in-a-furnace-of-distortion approach they have pioneered.
