Roadburn Festival 2011 is scheduled to run from Thursday, April 14th to Sunday, April 17th at the 013 venue and Midi Theatre in Tilburg, Holland.

Organizers have issued the following update:

"Roadburn is very excited to report that SOURVEIN, along with COFFINS, have been confirmed for Roadburn Festival Afterburner, set for Sunday, April 17th, 013 venue, Tilburg, Holland.

Featuring former members of 13 and BUZZOV*EN in their ranks, Sourvein offers low-tuned, balls out, southern sludge metal. Word on the streets is that they have been slaying audiences across the US for the last couple of years with their heavy-as-fuck assault.

Influenced by old school 80s and 90s doom and thrash, Japan’s Coffins death metal onslaught also shows some heavy and oppressive sludge metal tendencies keeping them somewhere near the doom category, despite the band’s occasional upbeat parts or outbursts of speed. Since 1996, Coffins has put out crushing release after release culminating into 2008?s Buried Death, a punishing masterpiece of death doom (think Come My Fanatics-era ELECTRIC WIZARD playing death metal, and you get Coffins).

Also confirmed for the Afterburner are BLACK MOUNTAIN, DEAD MEADOW, BLAY PYRAMID, BLOOD FARMERS, DRAGONTEARS and GOMER PYLE."

As previously reported, legendary doom pioneers WINTER, along with EARTH, SCORN, BEAVER, ALUK TODOLO, MENACE RUINE, HOODED MENACE, THE SECRET and Atilla Csihar’s VOID OV VOICES, have been confirmed for SUNN O)))‘s curated event at Roadburn Festival 2011, set for April 15th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

As curator, Sunn O))) (Greg Anderson and Stephen O’Malley) are personally selecting the bands that will play during their special event, as well as performing a headlining show. Sunn O))) is Roadburn’s fourth curator, following DAVID TIBET in 2008, NEUROIS in 2009 and TRIPTYKON’s Tom Gabriel Warrior at this year’s festival in April.

Sunn O))) comments: “Sunn O))) is honored to present the first part of our guests for the curated day at Roadburn, April 15th 2011. They represent a broad range of bands we are fans of, and in many cases some of our closest friends and collaborators. We hope you appreciate the selection, and look forward to announcing more of our selection and allies… we will follow up soon with some words on each band specifically, so watch this space.”
