CEPHALIC CARNAGE To Perform Special Doom Set At ROADBURN FESTIVAL

November 8, 2007

Hypersonic grindcore freaks CEPHALIC CARNAGE have been confirmed to play the Roadburn Festival on Saturday, April 19, 2008 at the 013 Club in Tilburg, The Netherlands.

The band won't perform its unusual and uncompromising marijuana-induced grind. Instead, CEPHALIC CARNAGE is going to drone out at Roadburn 2008, beckoning the festival attendees to enter the Halls of Amenti. Indeed, CEPHALIC CARNAGE is going to play the entirety of "Halls of Amenti", their ultra doom-influenced record from 2002, as part of an entire set of drone and doom. The group will be doing this special set only at Roadburn during their forthcoming European tour, and performing "Halls of Amenti" live for only the second time ever.

Singer Lenzig van Stroking comments: "CEPHALIC CARNAGE is going to drone out with the droniest of the drone at Roadburn 2008, and be a mile high while doing it — playing 'Halls of Amenti', and plodding through the chaos with visuals that will bring tears, sighs, awes,smiles and joys...or sadness. It will be a complete honor to play such a prestigious event in an amazing country and city. In other words: Our live performance will be like THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN plodding through the La Brea Tar Pits."

The 13th annual Roadburn Festival will take place April 18-19, 2008. Also on the bill are CELTIC FROST, TROUBLE, ISIS, ELECTRIC WIZARD, WITCHCRAFT, CULT OF LUNA, YEAR OF NO LIGHT, TONY MCPHEE'S GROUNDHOGS, EARTHLESS, CHURCH OF MISERY, KRUGER and THE HEADS & ACID MOTHERS GURU, amongst others.
