Mansion Join Lineup for Roadburn 2014

I’m not at all going to claim to have heard Finnish cult rockers Mansion prior to seeing the news that they’ve been added to the Roadburn 2014 lineup, but listening to their debut EP, We Shall Live, they seem to be picking up some of the chaotic swirl left behind in the wake of The Devil’s Blood‘s demise, mixing in elements of classic heavy progressive rock and driving riffs alongside an otherworldly sense of dark spiritualism.

The band (for lack of a better word) will reportedly have We Shall Live out on vinyl at some point, presumably before their slot at Roadburn, which is set for Saturday, April 12. The official announcement and EP stream follow:

Finland’s Mansion To Bring End-Time Cult To Roadburn 2014

There are artists that exude sheer attitude, others lunacy, but a select few have a distinct aura of mystery about them. We at Roadburn are delighted to have been given the chance to lift the shroud of ambiguity surrounding Finland’s Mansion. Seemingly arising out of the blue earlier this year, their four-song EP We Shall Live made an instant impression on us, with its perfect balance of crystal-clear guitar and melodic, ethereal vocals.

The quartet of songs so far released all revolve around a real-life End Time cult, and we have no doubt that these musicians will entrance all who attend their performance on Saturday 12th April at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands.

We predict an experience of spellbinding, morbid hymns to enthrall and delight! If Coven had a bastard child with Caravan, the result might be something akin to Mansion, but the only way to truly know their power is to experience it – we can’t wait!

    Just fyi, I remember buying the vinyl shortly after I moved back to Finland, so We Shall Live has been out on vinyl at least since May already.

    Keep up the fuzz bro!
