Rock in Bourlon is one of the less known festivals in Europe. The line-up looks like a summer edition of the legendary Roadburn-Festival. The difference between the high-priced and high-hyped Roadburn is, you have to donate around at least 30€, better is 50 - 100€ for the festival - the years before it was for free - and pay 20€ for the campsite. On the festival you consume local beers and food, vegan, vegetarian and meat and you can enjoy a line-up far away of the usual mainstream. Check...

The cover artwork represents the opposite of the music; Poland´s answer to Neurosis put out "Saviour´s Raft", a massive appetizer for their upcoming album. This band added a bit more atmospheric parts and their focus is more to combine contradictory musical styles instead of destroying musical and harmonic structures as Neurosis celebrate since almost 40 years. Sunnata are an obvious candidate for the upcoming Roadburn Festival 2024.

Tom Petty´s quote "the sky is the limit" fits perfect to this festival. Located on a hill with a view of about 60km around, a beautiful landscape and the most relaxed team you can imagine. Bavarian coolness combined with an amazing line-up, this is actually Blackdoor Music Fest.

I checked the daily news on my personal bandcamp algoritm and found the album. The song "Los Altares" started to soak me into a mesmerizing track between Sólstafir and My Sleeping Karma and a huge, semi-desert landscape with a mountain range in the back built up in front of my inner eyes. Then I read the band information and the band wrote "Patagonian band, Patagonian sound". Another example for that you can put a person out of the country, but you can´t put out the country out of a person....

Witchrat (UK?) sounds like a bastard of Toundra, Crippled Black Phoenix and Morne, sometimes fragile and gazing, next song the opposite.. devastating mantra-like heavy riffs and shredding guitars. Sometimes there´re some vocals, they don´t disturb and I don´t know if they server to what kind of purpose? The instrumental parts pour out depression and anger and despair. Absolutely worth to listen, an trippy experience through endless lingering guitar walls.
