Denver’s CEPHALIC CARNAGE have been confirmed for the 2008 Roadburn Festival, held the weekend of April 18th in The Netherlands.

Cephalic Carnage will perform on Saturday, April 19th, during the festival weekend held annually at the 013 Club in Tilburg. The band won't perform their unusual and uncompromising marijuana-induced grind. Instead, Cephalic Carnage is going to drone out at Roadburn 2008 playing the entirety of their epic Halls Of Amenti, their ultra doom-influenced record from 2002, as part of an entire set of drone and doom. The band will be doing this special set only at Roadburn, performing Halls of Amenti live for only the second time ever. For more information on the Roadburn Festival, please visit www.roadburn.com.

Cephalic Carnage vocalist Lenzig Von Stroking comments on this special performance: “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 Dillinger Escape Plan plodding through the La Brea Tar Pits."

Cephalic Carnage are currently on tour with THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER in New Zealand and Australia in support of their brand new album Xenosapien.
