The 1993 full-length from Australian death/doomers diSEMBOWELMENT, Transcendence into the Peripheral, is considered one of the high points of the genre and then some. Fitting then, that the semi-reactivated lineup of d.USK have been invited to perform the album in its entirety at Roadburn 2012. One more thing to look forward to in a stellar lineup that already includes Sleep and Voivod twice over.

News came down via Roadburn‘s site:

Roadburn is honored and proud to welcome for their first ever European performance, d.USK, the final embodiment of diSEMBOWELMENT, whom will play an exclusive set of diSEMBOWELMENT’s legendary funeral doom opus, Transcendence into the Peripheral.

Commented guitarist Matthew Skarajew, “We feel that presenting Transcendence into the Peripheral in its entirety is a very unique opportunity and that Roadburn will be the perfect vehicle to realize it. I expect it will be the one and only time that it will ever happen!” 

Says drummer Paul Mazziotta, “Although we cannot give the fans 100 percent of the original lineup, Matt and I have put together a band we are very proud of, and is committed to delivering the classic material with pure integrity, energy, passion.”

Timeless, classic, and immeasurably influential, Transcendence into the Peripheral remains a groundbreaking work that typifies the Roadburn Festival’s love of the powerful and ambitious. d.USK is pleased to present this celebrated body of work to Roadburn’s mainstage on Thursday, 12 April, 2012 at the 013 venue, Tilburg, Holland.

Roadburn Festival 2012, including Sleep and Voivod‘s special event, will run for four days from Thursday, April 12 to Sunday, April 15 (the traditional Afterburner) at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

Pre-sales will start Saturday, November 26, 2011.
