"The fourth edition of Doom over Leipzig is just around the corner and comes with an awesome and unexpected line up. Be sure to experience three days full of emotions and a journey through several variations of Doom and Metal. We used to start the festival with a relaxed, calm program on Thursday, f.i. with lectures or a documentary as you certainly remember – that’s simply not possible this year. We keep on celebrating the Doom from the first moment. You are going to see the following bands at this evening: Windhand, a quintet from US that just got honored from CVLT Nation for releasing the best Doom Metal LP in 2013, called “Soma”. Heading from the same village as Windhand we have Inter Arma a grim formation that knows perfectly how to bring Sludge and Black Metal in to an awesome symbiosis. Indian is the thrid in a row. This Chigaco based band is celebrating their 10th anniversary and putting the icing on the the cake by doing an European tour and having a stop at our festival.
We don’t really know where to start when we take a look at the line up of friday evening: First of all there is Circle from Finnland, a seven piece that brings out a combination of folk and ambient sounds out of twenty years of the bands history. In their huge discography list you’ll find an endless amount of studio and live recordings but also two soundtracks. One of them for the Finnish film-director Mika Taanila. As long in the business as the guys and gals in Circle are Sourvein a dirty Southern Sludge group heading from North Carolina, US. Their sound is typical and reminds of bands like Eyehategod. Graves at Sea, one of serveral goldies of the label Gilded Media is standing for the limbo at this evening. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, the band already visited Leipzig in 2013 – so we are more than happy to welcome them back to the right time at the right place. The grand final initiates 40 Watt Sun – we are honored to have this Funeral Doom legends on stage at our festival. Nobody can pass the voice of Patrick Walker without getting a thick lump in it’s throat abruptly. Clenched Doom Metal meets emotional vocals. At the end of Friday evening is no one less than Old Man Gloom – the DIY legends around ex-Isis frontman Aaron Turner. We could continue with the namedropping about this band, but this is not necessary because of Old Man Gloom’s very own, distinctive sound.
After a short break to take a breath, the line up for Saturday is now the turn: First in our introduction is Conan, the trio from Liverpool that is also touring to promote their new album “Blood Eagle” – we are excited! More Funeral Doom brings Esoteric to us. They’re from UK as well and play this monumental and powerful sound since two decades. Kongh actually known as a swedish doom three piece shrunk to a duo initiate the first part of finishing of the evening. Closely followed by The Body from Arkansas which put the final nail in the coffin of humanity in their music. The bearded duo which resides with their experimental Sludge sound on the well known label Thrill Jockey, hopefully ensures that after their show, the last spark of life will is gone from our audience." - MODERN OBSESSION BOOKING
