October 6, 2010, 13 years ago
Organizers of Holland's Roadburn Festival have issued the following update:
"We are pleased to announce that VPRO 3voor12, which is the leading cultural media network in the Netherlands, has posted the last additional on-demand audio streams for your Roadburn 2010 listening pleasure.Online now! Performances by ENSLAVED and DREAM OF AN OPIUM EATER are currently available on-demand. Enjoy!
Dream of An Opium Eater is a special collaboration between ace-metal musicians like Enslaved’s Ivar Bjørnson, Reuben Gotto (JOHNNY TRUANT), Ben Calvert (ex-KILLING JOKE) and Julia Ruzicka from MILLION DEAD.
Like in the old days, when a pianist would accompany silent movies, Dream of An Opium Eater create an epic and unsettling soundtrack – composed by Reuben Gotto & Ivar Bjørnson - to a collection of mind-bending horror short-films, projected on a huge screen behind them. Expect some dark, intense, but also swirling takes on psychedelic metal reminiscent of Tool, VoiVod and even Joy Division, as icy horror and fright oozes from both the screen and the speakers."
“Dream of an Opium is a powerful outlet for my doom sides”, says Enslaved's Ivar Bjørnson. “I was stunned when we got together to do our first show at the Roskilde Festival in 2007; we sounded heavier together than I had dared hope for. For me music is energy, and getting to express the lower, heavier energies through Dream Of An Opium Eater is amazing – every single time we perform. Playing to these very unique Norwegian short horror movies adds an extra dimension that creates a bubble of weirdness at our show. Not having a vocalist also makes life easy when we get together, hehe!”
Roadburn Festival 2011 is scheduled for April 14th - 16th at the Midi Theatre in Tilburg, Holland. Check out details here.
