SAINT VITUS TO HEADLINE FRIDAY ROADBURN FESTIVAL DATE, FRIDAY, APRIL
24, 2009.
David Chandler comments: "We are extremely happy that were invited to
Roadburn and we are excited to play.Those of you that saw us on the
original reunion tour in 2003 are going to be extremely surprised at
our set list. We are pulling stuff out of the hat that we haven't
played in a long long time. So I suggest that you all get up front and
prepare for your DOOM!"
Legendary US doom metal pioneers Saint Vitus have been confirmed as
the headliner for Friday's April 24th date at the 2009 Roadburn
Festival. The 14th annual Roadburn Festival will take place April 23-
26, 2009 and will be held at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The
Netherlands.
Saint Vitus is known as one of the very first doom metal bands,
starting out in the late 1970's, and have released many classic albums
over the ensuing decades. Although Saint Vitus has been on hold for
several years now, they will be reforming as the classic 'Born Too
Late' line-up (Dave Chandler, Scott "Wino" Weinrich, Mark Adams,
Armando Acosta) headlining Friday night at Roadburn 2009.
Over the last two decades, Saint Vitus has become revered as one of
the main architects of the modern doom scene, encompassing all that
doom metal is all about: emotion, melody and epic songs stacked with
enough behemoth riffs to light a week long bonfire. Every note the
band has ever put to tape is a benchmark by which all other doom
records have been judged. Saint Vitus classic phrase 'Born to Late'
has become the war cry for generations of doom-aficionados.
Wino comments: "We will be playing a lot of everybody's favorite
stuff. Also, my project band Wino will be playing as well, playing
tracks from my solo record 'Punctuated Equilibrium' and some surprises
too!" Wino's solo band is set for Roadburn 2009's additional
Afterburner event, scheduled for Sunday, April 26, alongside Solace,
Dyse and Bill Steer's Firebird amongst others.
Hand numbered limited edition DVD's of the 2003 Saint Vitus reunion
show in Chicago are available at http://www.debrisinc.com
In other developments, Roadburn is also pleased to report that UK doom
legends Cathedral will play the Friday Roadburn date. Purveyors of
psychedelic doom since 1991, Cathedral have been amazing audiences
with impassioned live performances thanks to the monstrous grooves and
monolithic riffs from tracks like "Hopkins (The Witchfinder General)"
and "Utopian Blaster."
Also scheduled to appear on the Friday are both Scott Kelly & Steve
Von Till from Neurosis, Mono (Japan), Bohren und der Club of Gore,
Negura Bunget, Dragontears, The Winchester Club, Omega Massif, Colour
Haze & The Outskirts of Infinity amongst others.
Roadburn is also pleased to report that AMON DÜÜL II, one of the most
influential bands in the canon of Kosmische Musik pioneers has been
confirmed for the Thurday Roadburn Festival date, Thursday, April 23,
alongside Motorpsycho.

festival (including Neurosis' Beyond The Pale event at Roadburn 2009)
