Now I’m just getting nervous. These Roadburn announcements keep coming in, and I keep waiting for a piano to fall on my head. The ultra-low, ultra-dense riffing of Conan added to a bill that already includes Voivod (x2), YOB (x2), The Obsessed, Sleep, Om, Ulver, Ancestors and Church of Misery? When’s the other shoe going to drop?

If anyone needs me, I’ll be cowering in a fireproof lock-box until next April. Here’s the latest news:

UK‘s Conan will be part of Voivod‘s special Au-delà du Réel event (Friday, April 13th) at Roadburn 2012.

Conan approach from the North West of England on a devastating, droning, charging warbeast of heaviness, to lay waste to Roadburn 2012 in a barrage of galloping crust and aching tone. Their performance at Roadburn will be their first ever show outside of the UK and Ireland. Worshipping at the Altar Of The Riff, they summon the Gods of fuzz, distortion and blazing valves to join them in their sonic ritual. In response to the special invitation extended to them from Voivod, Conan will be destroying the innards of all those who enter Stage01 (formerly known as Bat Cave) on Friday, April 13th, 2012.

Priestess and Danava have also been confirmed for Voivod‘s Au-delà du Réel. However, Priestess will play the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland on Thursday, April 12th instead of Friday, April 13th to accommodate their spring 2012 tour schedule with Red Fang.

UK‘s power-trio Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell will play on Saturday, April 14th, while Atlantis has been added to the lineup for the traditional Afterburner event on Sunday, April 15th.
