GRAVEYARD - 1000MODS - BLACK RAINBOWS - SOURVEIN - THE K. - WOLVENNEST I Cancelled

Feeling the urge to hear some roaring guitars? On this night, rock, stoner, doom and metal rule the Botanique. You can discover five bands on three Botanique stages (Chapiteau, Orangerie and Rotonde), with just one ticket!

A throwback rock band much in the vein of Witchcraft or Priestess, Gothenburg, Sweden's Graveyard formed in late 2006. Original members Joakim Nilsson (guitar and vocals), Truls Mörck (guitar and vocals), Rikard Edlund (bass), and Axel Sjöberg (drums) were moved by the legacy of giants such as Cream and Black Sabbath, and quickly recorded their first demo. Soon thereafter, the band scored a dual distribution deal with both Tee Pee Records and Transubstans. Their debut album, simply titled Graveyard, was released in early 2008, after which Sjöberg was replaced by guitarist Jonatan Larocca-Ramm. After touring with groups like Witchcraft, Clutch, and CKY, the band came back with a second album, the Nuclear Blast-issued Hisingen Blues, in 2011. The following year saw the release of Lights Out, with Innocence & Decadence arriving in 2015. In September 2016, the band announced their breakup. ~ Chris True, Rovi

1000Mods

1000mods is a psychedelic/heavy rock band from Chiliomodi, Greece. They were formed in the summer of 2006, and since then they have played hundreds of live shows accross Europe and North America. They are known for their commitment to vintage equipment, thick and heavy analog sound and remarkably passionate stage performances.

Black Rainbows

Since the release of their debut album, Twilight in the Desert, in 2007, Roma rockers Black Rainbows have become one of the most essential acts in Europe’s heavy underground. As the spearhead of an entire movement of Italian bands, They’ve issued five full-lengths to-date and are on the precipice of their sixth in 2018, with founding guitarist/vocalist Gabriele Fiori and bassist Giuseppe Guglielmino welcoming new drummer Fillippo Ragazzoni to the fold for the first time. Across albums like 2010’s Carmina Diablo (recently reissued), 2011’s Supermotherfuzzalicious!!, 2015’s Hawkdope and 2016’s Stellar Prophecy, Black Rainbows’ sound has oozed between classic ‘90s-style stoner fuzz and deep-cosmos psychedelia, drawing on the best of hard-driving space rock to conjure a vibe totally tripped-out and all its own. By bringing Ragazzoni on board, the riffs have gotten tighter and are fuzzed as ever, and two years after their last outing, Black Rainbows enter 2018 refreshed and with well-earned veteran status resulting from countless tours, festival appearances, and their track record of absolutely unstoppable energy. — JJ Koczan

Wolvennest

Wolvennest or WLVNNST is a Belgian musical partnership created by veterans Kirby Michel (Arkangel / La Muerte / Duration), Corvus Von Burtle (Cult Of Erinyes / LVTHN) and Marc De Backer (Mongolito). Their sound mixes dark and ambient hypnotic voices, uplifted by rhythmic guitar loops. Active since 2016 with their first album "WLVNNST", which was described as a mixture of krautrock sounds from the 70s, the group certainly conveys its experience in the field. Another album will follow, "VOID" (2018) as well as an E.P, "VORTEX" (2019) released exclusively for the Roadburn Festival. They will complete the lineup alongside Graveyard, 1000Mods and Black Rainbows during the festival's special heavy rock / metal evening.

Sourvein

Formé à Cape Fear, en Caroline du Nord, au cours de l’année 1993, Sourvein est un groupe de sludge metal qui sévit depuis maintenant plus de vingt ans. Cette longévité est due à la ténacité d’un seul homme, T-Roy, frontman et membre permanent depuis la création du groupe. Le moins qu’on puisse dire, c’est que Sourvein dispose d’une grosse discographie; 3 albums, 8 splits et 3 EP. Le dernier en date, « Aquatic Occult » est sorti en 2016. Deux membres de Corrosion Of Conformity sont impliqués dans sa conception puisque Mike Dean l’a produit et y joue de la basse et que Reed Mullin assure la batterie sur 10 des 14 titres. D’autres invités sont de la partie, dont Randy Blythe (Lamb of God), Stig Miller (ex-Amebix), Keith Kirkum (ex-Weedeater) et Dean Berry (ex-Iron Monkey). Rendez-vous à l’Orangerie pour un show rustre, vigoureux, qui ne laisse filtrer aucun rayon de soleil.

The K

After two years of near total absence, the trio The K. returns with a new album, scheduled for spring 2020. A record announced as the finality of a group entering its maturity phase, but whose members have not yet taken the time to settle down, wielding irony as the only weapon in the face of existential void. The ten titles recorded by Tim De Gieter (Amenra, Brutus,…) and written by the original members of the group, Sebastien von Landau and Sigfried Burroughs are accompanied by a new bandmate on bass: Gregory Danger
