Planet Caravan Festival

What: AC Entertainment presents Planet Caravan featuring Clutch, Pentagram, Orange Goblin, Kylesa, Burst, YOB, Wino, Astra, Revolution Mother, Taddy Porter, Orchid, and Pick up the Snake
When: September 18 and 19, 2009
Where: The Orange Peel, Asheville, North Carolina
How: Tickets are $79.50, plus applicable service fees, available beginning Saturday, July 18, at 12 p.m. Eastern time, via The Orange Peel box office, by phone at 866-468-7630 and online at www.planetcaravanfestival.com

KNOXVILLE AC Entertainment is proud to announce Planet Caravan, a two-day music festival celebrating the origins of heavy music at The Orange Peel Social Aid and Pleasure Club in Asheville, North Carolina. Featuring a line-up of some of the best emerging and established rock and metal bands, the debut festival showcases heavy music in many of its various sub-genres and incarnations, from doom and psychedelic to progressive and experimental.

"Planet Caravan is an homage to the pioneers of heavy music," says event creator Charlie Jennings. "The event spotlights bands that carry on the traditional sounds of heavy rock and blues but also push it into new and exciting territories."

This year's festival features Maryland hard rockers Clutch, who released their ninth studio album, Strange Cousins from the West, on July 7. Highly influential, recently reunited doom metal legends Pentagram will appear for a rare performance. Swedish progressive metal band Burst will make its first-ever U.S. appearance at Planet Caravan. Orange Goblin, named "the best underground band in Britain," by Metal Hammer magazine, will make their first appearance in three years and their only U.S. performance in 2009. And, hot off their newest release Static Tensions and a major tour with Mastodon, Georgia band Kylesa will bring their sludgy brand of rock to the Planet Caravan stage.

Other performers include newly reformed doom band YOB, who return to the East Coast for the first time. Doom metal icon Scott Weinrich (of St. Vitus and The Obsessed fame) appears with his new project Wino. Hot new San Diego band Astra will perform tracks from their recent Rise Above/Metal blade release The Weirding. In other firsts, San Francisco's Orchid will make their debut performance outside the Bay Area. Rounding out the bill will be Mike Vallely's Revolution Mother, modern blues rockers Taddy Porter, and Knoxville's own Pick up the Snake.

That the first Planet Caravan is being held at The Orange Peel is a testament to the club's premier status in the rock community. Named one of the top five rock clubs by Rolling Stone in the magazine's "Best of Rock 2008" issue, The Orange Peel is situated in vibrant downtown Asheville, N.C. Since it opened in 2002, The Orange Peel has hosted revered performers including Queens of the Stone Age, King Crimson, Wolfmother, The Flaming Lips, Wilco, Sonic Youth, and 311, as well as special performances by The Beastie Boys, Bob Dylan, Ben Harper, and a nine-night residency with the Smashing Pumpkins.

Asheville, situated in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina with an estimated population of over 70,000, is recognized for its unique Bohemian culture, natural beauty, and lively downtown, often referred to as the "Paris of the South."

Here's the complete line-up:

Clutch
Pentagram
Orange Goblin
Kylesa
Burst
YOB
Wino
Astra
Taddy Porter
Tombs
Bison b.c.
Zoroaster
The Gates of Slumber
Orchid

More Roadburn Acts Announced

Neurosis and Roadburn are proud to announce OM, Six Organs of Admittance, Skullflower, and A Storm of Light for Beyond the Pale at Roadburn 2009.


"Om is the heaviest band to ever walk the face of the earth"
- Scott Kelly, Neurosis


OM, Six Organs of Admittance, Skullflower, and A Storm of Light, along with Neurosis, have been confirmed for the inaugural European version of Neurosis` acclaimed Beyond the Pale festival, set to be held at Roadburn 2009 on Saturday, April 25, the 013 venue, Tilburg, Holland.


"Om is such a rare bird in the vast landscape that is sound, music, art, and emotive expression that they absolutely defy description," says Scott Kelly, "The straightest line is the quickest path to the godhead, Om know this, it is the foundation of their mountain. The meditative nature of the patterns and rhythms found within the speaker flexing sonic blanket that they weave is unparalleled. Om is the heaviest band to ever walk the face of the earth."


"Josh Graham is a prolific individual, a man driven to create. In the years that we have spent together collaborating in Neurosis, he has shown himself to be a visionary artist as well as a diligent worker. A Storm of Light is born of this obsession; it is an ominous sound, a cloud of oppressive doomage. Equal parts heavy and hypnotic, A Storm of Light is a band grown from truth."


Steve Von Till comments: "All must bow before the pagan wall of drone - I couldn`t agree more with the opening quote of Skullflower`s semi-official website. Hearing the tortured distorted and eerily shamanic drones emanate from the stereo for the first time in the early nineties was truly a revelation. IIIrd Gatekeeper and Obsidian Shaking Codex are two of my all time favorite albums and have been extremely influential on the way my brothers and I approach guitar-based heavy music: to grab an electric guitar, drive a loud amplifier to its physical limit, and ride the drone into oblivion is ecstasy, and Matthew Bower has been showing us all how it is done for 20-odd years. Finally after all these years we will all get to witness the power together at Beyond the Pale 2009."


"The words "psych folk,` although being a genre of music I feel a passion and affinity for, have begun to lose their meaning and significance over the last several years. A so-called `revival` has dredged up wave upon wave of shallow rehash. Ben Chasny and his Six Organs of Admittance, often tagged by that limiting genre, is a bright flower of inspiration to bring us all hope and remind us that as movements devolve, free spirits can rise above and remain vital among the pale imitators. Fearless and able to avoid the pitfalls and traps of classification he has constantly managed to play cathartic soul music. Not "soul" music, but music that accompanies transformation and the journey of one`s spirit. We are pleased to have this tonal psychonaut join us for this special event."


Also scheduled to appear at Beyond the Pale/Roadurn 2009 are The Young Gods, Akimbo, Guapo, and U.S. Christmas, with more bands to be announced.


Roadburn 2009 will run for three days from Thursday, April 23 to Saturday, April 25 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland. There will be an additional Afterburner event on Sunday, April 26, 2009. Pre sales for Beyond the Pale/Roadburn 2009 will start, Saturday, December 13. More info about Roadburn, including confirmed bands for Beyond the Pale and the full festival will follow soon.

Forgotten Tomb, Isole Added to Dutch Doom Days VII

Italy`s Forgotten Tomb and Sweden`s Isole have been confirmed for the Dutch Doom Days VII festival, set to take place October 25 - 26 at Baroeg in Rotterdam, Holland.

The festival billing is shaping up as follows:


Saturday, October 25
Forgotten Tomb
Isole
The Lamp of Thoth
Mourning Dawn
Griftegård
Subrosa
Wizards of Doom
Beneath the Frozen Soil
Faal


Sunday, October 26
Worship
Skepticism
Pantheist
Faith
Fall of the Idols
Ophis
Hooded Priest


The festival organizers said in a statement: "The organisation succeeded to establish a strong program which gives a good insight into the cross-section of the doom metal genre. This special form of metal can be defined by its down tempo and (in most cases) filled with emotional loads. Black Sabbath can be seen as one of the founders of this genre. Besides the well-known confirmed names, Baroeg knows how to present the best new upcoming bands at the festival year after year, what is truly appreciated by true fans of the doom genre. Bands such as Griftegård, The Lamp of Thoth and Wizards of Doom are top-class bands that will debut in the Netherlands at Dutch Doom Days VII. During this year`s edition, two Dutch bands, Faal and Hooded Priest, will be introduced. In total sixteen bands will play."
