After a day or two of soaking in the foreign sights, sounds, andculture, we had the honor of supporting The Young Gods fromSwitzerland. We were young and still new to the methods of integratingkeyboards and samples into our own style of heavy music and that nightThe Young Gods taught us a lesson. Massive guitar riffs blasted fromthe PA yet there was no guitarist to be seen. Their sampler /keyboardist was a true sonic alchemist brewing insane psychedelic heavyriffs from banks of custom created textures.Rarely had weexperienced technology used so organically in music. Those soundscombined with the essential hard hitting, solid backbone of a greatrock drummer and a charismatic vocalist blew our minds that night...'------------..'Over the years we have continued to admire The Young Gods’ music and theircontribution to original heavy music. One of my favorite daily ritualsduring our brutal touring schedule in the late ..'90s was hearing oursoundman Dave Clark test the local PA systems with The Young Gods,pushing the speakers to their limits. ---------We are proud to have The Young Gods appearing with us this year for Beyond the Pale at Roadburn 2009.As our existence spirals out from the center, it is rewarding when somethings come full circle..' --Steve Von Till.
