Roadburn Festival has announced that SARKE, the Norwegian band featuring Sarke and Nocturno Culto, has been confirmed for Tom Gabriel Warrior's Only Death Is Real at Roadburn Festival 2010.

Sarke's music and lyrics are written by it's namesake Sarke. He has previously spread his angry art through KHOLD, TULUS, OLD MAN'S CHILD and SENSA ANIMA.

Joining him on his musical quest is DARKTHRONE's Nocturno Culto, whose distinctive vocals combine with Sarke's music to create another blackened chapter to the grim book of extreme metal. Inspired by the forefathers, but distinctly new and original.

Sarke's debut album, Vorunah, was recorded in old-fashioned analog style, with a brutal, in-your-face sound inspired by the likes of BLACK SABBATH, CELTIC FROST, CANDLEMASS, MAYHEM and MOTÖRHEAD.

"This is a great honor for Sarke, to be invited by Tom to perform at Roadburn is something that took us by black magic surprise. Some of you might know that Tom joined forces with us at our performance at Wacken in August 2009, which is something we will never forget. The respect we have for Tom and his music is neverending.

We're looking forward to performing at Roadburn, and we will be introducing new songs into the set. To witness TRIPTYKON live will be something to remember as well. See you all there, UGH!" -Sarke & Nocturno Culto, December 2009.
