What better way to kick off your Roadburn experience than in the company of a trio of sewer-dwelling punks? Rattenburcht will emerge from the fetid underground waterways of Amsterdam and take to the stage in Tilburg as part of The Spark – Roadburn’s pre-festival party on Wednesday night.
Seething with skin-blistering rage, swirling with feedback and primitive attitude, Rattenburcht’s trad-rhythms are shot through with electrifyingly primordial riffs. Their debut full-length due to surface later this month – on which their blackened punk and blasphemous heavy metal spirit is captured on record. Experience it live and in the flesh as they welcome us to a new edition of Roadburn.
