There’s a pre-festival event on April 17th celebrating Rise Above Records 20th anniversary featuring hard blasting UK space rockers Litmus, Capricorn, Grand Magus plus more. There’s also a special day-long event curated by Current 93‘s David Tibet on April 20th featuring Om, Sunn 0))) spin-off ÆTHENOR and Baby Dee.
Taken together this is one of the most joyously experimental festivals in the world, and the festival organizer’s mission statement sums up the general philosophy and vibe of this emerging music gathering:
This is a gathering of like minded bands and fans from around the world, joined together by a love of music. This is a celebration of tube-driven distortion and crackling electric guitars, a raising of musical consciousness and brotherly and sisterly love, a communion with THEE MIGHTY RIFF, a time and place to get high en mass and bask in the heaviness.
