Budú kurátormi budúcoročného Roadburnu. Podobne ako v minulosti David Tibet (CURRENT 93), NEUROSIS a Tom Gabriel Warrior (TRIPTYKON), aj O"Malleyovci budú čeliť zodpovednosti za výber kapiel pre tento prestížny festival a zaujmú tiež pozíciu jeho headlinerov.

Organizátori: "We are overjoyed to join forces with SUNN O))) for the upcoming Roadburn festival. Their metal-based drone experimentations have proved groundbreaking and hugely influential for an entire new generation of musicians practicing the art of avant-garde metal, drone, post rock and psychedelica. SUNN O))) is also widely acclaimed for their eclectic collaborations with everyone from musicians Attila Csihar, Masami Akita (MERZBOW), BORIS, Steven Stapleton, Justin Broadrick, Oren Ambarchi, ULVER, Joe Preston, John Wiese, and Julian Cope to filmmaker Jim Jarmusch and visual artist Banks Violette.

"Greg Anderson, who is also GOATSNAKE"s songsmith and the entrepreneur behind Southern Lord Records, and Stephen O"Malley, a prolific improviser and composer who is well-known for being involved in BURNING WITCH, KHANATE, KTL and DACM/Gisèle Vienne theatre-works, have performed in different guises during various Roadburn festivals over the years, which is exactly why we felt they would be the ideal curators. Both of them consistently push the envelope musically, and one of our steadfast goals has been to make Roadburn a festival that explores the cutting edge while celebrating the familiar, too. With that in mind, we could think of no better spiritual guide for 2011 than SUNN O))).

"We are truly looking forward to the new ideas and visions that the crossover drone duo will bring to the festival next year.

"When asked to sum up Roadburn in one word, "progressive" would be a fitting choice. Evolving and improving are part of this. The festival is a tribute to the open mindedness of its bands, curators and audience. The joy comes from expanding musical horizons, and with SUNN O))) acting as our curator we"ll definitely be in for some artistic surprises."
