   • SAINT VITUS + CATHEDRAL + AMON DÜÜL II - ROADBURN 2009
     Body: 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 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.
     
     
     Pre sales will start, Saturday, December 13th. Tickets for the main festival (including Neurosis' Beyond The Pale event at Roadburn 2009) will be priced from € 99 with no campsite accommodation. More info about ticketsales & complete line up will follow shortly.

   • Who wants to go to this? It looks quite a varied lineup so far, got the weird neurosis curated stuff in there but theres still plenty of stoner rock too, just thinking about how long to go over to Holland for this time, I'd kinda like to go for a few days before.

   • I'll probably go, but I'm less than excited about the lineup so far. There's a few I'd watch but none that I'd usually go out of my way to see.

    • I think the stoner side will be bolstered as time goes on, theres a few creeping in, Firebird, Cathedral, Colour Haze, Dyse, St Vitus like, but I'm excited to see the solo sets by the Neurosis singers and to see Guapo abroad, as well as checking out the Young Gods, as I've read good things about them.

    • so far there is not a single band i am bothered about.
      
      last tim was the perfect mix for me of bands i'd like to see and gaps to let me socialise.
      
      i doubt i will be going this time
