You couldn't be there at Roadburn 2009? You were there, but you couldn't clone yourself to catch all the action in the Green Room, Bat Cave and

Main Hall simultaneously? You made it, but you can't remember it? You went and would love to re-live the highlights of the festival?

Good news: the VPRO, which is the leading cultural media network in the Netherlands, has posted additional on-demand audio streams for your

listening enjoyment.

Performances by COLOUR HAZE, CHURCH OF MISERY, SOLACE, US CHRISTMAS, WINO & ZU and others are now available in a non-downloadable fashion at this location.

Seminal doom-legends GOATSNAKE will reunite for Roadburn Festival 2010, which will take place April 15th-17th, 2010 at the 013 and Midi Theatre in Tilburg, Holland.

Featuring the original line up of Greg Anderson (SUNN 0))) - guitars), Guy Pinhas (THE OBSESSED - bass), Greg Rogers (The Obsessed - drums) and Pete Stahl (SCREAM, WOOL, EARTHLINGS? - vocals), Goatsnake will headline the Thursday Roadburn date, April 15th.

With two classic-albums under their belt ( I, re-released on Southern Lord and Flower of Disease), Goatsnake have forged a considerable niche in the heavy rock underground over the last decade with their signature Sunn guitar sound. Pete Stahl’s clean, soulful vocals have always been at the heart of Goatsnake’s low and slow bulldozer rock as well, setting them apart from their peers. Goatsnake‘s influence can still be heard and felt throughout the current stoner and doom scene, even after such a long hiatus.

Greg Anderson comments: “Roadburn is hands down the only festival that consistently has a lineup that I personally would like to see. Being asked to perform with Goatsnake is an honor and a privilege. I’m really fucking stoked to play music with Greg, Guy and Pete again. We will do our absolute best to kick as much ass as possible!”

In other news, reunited doom metal giants YOB will be making their European live debut with two different shows at next year’s Roadburn Festival at both the 013 venue, and the Midi Theatre during the festival.

Mike Scheidt comments: “YOB is quite thrilled to announce our first European trip to play the most excellent Roadburn festival in 2010. We have wanted to come over to Europe to play for many years and to have our first show be at Roadburn is beyond incredible for us. We are looking forward to sharing in the atmosphere of the fest with all of the excellent bands and fans that will be in attendance. April will not get here soon enough! DOOM!!!”

Finally, after a decade since their last European tour, the Canadian heavyweights SONS OF OTIS will return in a very big way, playing two different sets at Roadburn Festival 2010. 1999’s Templeball easily ranks among the best albums that Sons of Otis ever put out, and definitely qualifies as one of the very best stonerrock albums of all time, too. The band will play this mile (high) stone of a record in its entirety at Roadburn 2010, in addition to a regular show.

Ken Baluke comments: “We've always wanted play Roadburn, but our hands were tied….. But now, the shackles are off and we`re on the way Holland. Peace!”

As previously reported, Swedish doom metal legends CANDLEMASS will play a very special, two-hour set on Saturday, April 17th. Opening at 16:00 hrs, Candlemass will perform their classic album, Epicus Doomicus Metallicus in its entirety with Johan Längquist on vocals. There will be a special part of the set that incorporates new singer Robert Lowe as well.

Tom Gabriel Warrior, founder of the illustrious HELLHAMMER and CELTIC FROST, has agreed to act as the curator for the Roadburn festival on Friday, April 16th, and host a special event at Roadburn, called Only Death Is Real. Warrior's duties as curator include personally selecting the bands that will play on Only Death Is Real, as well as to perform the first major headlining set with his latest incarnation, TRIPTYKON.
