Those who saw Yob last year at Roadburn (twice!) know we can expect a lot of Yob‘s late night show (02:00 – 03:00, 013) at Incubate 2011 in 013, Kleine Zaal. You can now download the live recorded Ball of Molten Lead for free (thanks to the Roadburn blog!) and buy the whole set on Bandcamp.

Secondly, Kindamuzik did an interview (in Dutch) with Yob which you can read here. See you there!

With the Roadburn 2011 festival just around the corner (this thursday already!), we have selected some of the wisest men in the music business to recommend you their favorites! This is the third part in a five part series. And from Tijs we head to Thijs from Kindamuzik for his three highly recommended must-see acts at Roadburn. Also check out his special Witchrock on Kindamuzik!

Despite some very strong competition, such as last year’s unfortunate Eyjafjallajökull victims Candlemass and their fellow Swedes Count Raven (who boast the hands-down best ever Ozzy soundalike), my trad doom pick for Roadburn 2011 has gotta be the mighty Pentagram. Celebrating their 40th anniversary as a band this year, Pentagram has recently welcomed Relentless-era axe man Victor Griffin back into the fold. Griffin played Roadburn last year with Pentagram ‘prequel’ Death Row, but that was a bit like seeing, oh I don’t know,  Kyuss without Josh Homme? No Pentagram classic is complete without the bug eyed grandaddy of American doom metal Bobby Liebling, who could give Ozzy a run for his money in the acid geezer department. Now pushing sixty and allegedly sober, Sir Bobby proved he can still deliver the gobbledygook goods with Pentagram’s long awaited Dutch live debut a couple of years ago at 013. A definite must-see.

Much to my surprise, Roadburn 2011 even caters to my ever present need for some good ol’ country music. Besides the brilliant American Gothic doomtwang of both Wovenhand and Earth, Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter is an especially inspired addition to this year’s line-up. Sykes is a fille sourire extraordinaire, with the husky voice of Marianne Faithful, the looks of Cosmic American Music-era Emmylou Harris and a gorgeous SunnO))) collab already under her belt. Musically Sykes and her Hereafter bring the druggy country noir haze like Neko Case taking the Cowboy Junkies for a Walkabout. I already saw this merry bunch of narcobillies open for Martha Wainwright once (see below) and I’m pretty, ehm, siked to see how they’ll fare at Roadburn, sandwiched between überheavy hitters like Winter and Hooded Menace.

I, for one, am looking as much forward to Tilburg’s other big annual metal extravaganza Neurotic Deathfest (Autopsy! Magrudergrind! Prostitute Disfigurement!) as I am to Roadburn, and Grave Miasma are sure to get me even more pumped up for the impending NDF onslaught at the end of this month. Similar to the blackened occult avant-New Wave of Old School Death Metal of current kvlt faves Portal, Vasaeleth and Teitanblood, 100% Fenriz approved Grave Miasma keep things nice and murky, valuing atmosphere over sheer brutality without being pussies about it. And off course, 013′s Bat Cave is the perfect venue for these London dungeon dwellers. For some more fine cavernous mega-death at Roadburn, keep your eyes and invisible oranges peeled for epic Finnish doomdeathsters Hooded Menace and (at Sunday’s Afterburner) Japanese Autopsy worshipping gravemongers Coffins. The dungeons are calling!

KindaMuzik attended Incubate, not only with their pens to write nice reviews, but also with their camera to record some cool movies.

Kindamuzik did an interview with Black Anvil, a band which also performed at ZXZW. Check the interview here. Also Theo Ploeg likes them at his blog.

KindaMuzik created a microsite on ZXZW. Read it here.

Filmboob highlighted our filmprogramma Dutch Masters. Click here.

Belgian site Kwadratuur wrote a nice preview. You can find that right here.

Het Duitse Dekorder speelt zich al een tijdje in de kijker als platform voor experimentele muziek en labelbaas Marc Richter kan natuurlijk niet achterblijven. Eerder verschenen er van zijn soloproject Black to Comm al enkele releases maar met Fractal Hair Geometry lijkt Richter de succesformule definitief op het spoor te zijn. read more.

Black 2 Comm will play at ZXZW 2008.

Resin is een belangrijk document van een baanbrekende band die goed op weg is om muzikale grenzen te verleggen. De zoektocht naar de ultieme kruisbestuiving tussen rock en drones is allerminst ten einde maar de tussentijdse resultaten zijn alvast zeer bevredigend.

Religious Knives will play at ZXZW 2008 (-:

Bad luck for Walter. At his 3voor12 blog he tells that Celtic Frost have split. Enslaved will replace them. In the mean time Kindamuzik made a special site with lots of info, interviews and more.
