YAMA will replace Moonless @ Freak Valley Festival 2013 !

17.05.13


 

YAMA is a heavy stoner rock band from Tilburg/Utrecht, The Netherlands. They've been playing since 2010 and their influences range from (60's/70's) psychedelic rock, doom and stonerrock to delta-blues.

Yama focus on heavy grooves and big riffs. Think Goatsnake, Baroness, and Graveyard, and the occasional stonermetal riff, and you'll have a good idea of what they are about: heavy fuzzed-out stoner rock!

 

Moonless canceled FVF show.

16.05.13

Sadly we have to announce that MOONLESS will not be able to play Freak Valley Festival 2013.

Here's the bands official statement:

Norwegian hellhounds BRUTUS will perform Freak Valley Festival 2013!!

23.11.12

We tried to get them for FVF 2012 - now we are even more enthused that BRUTUS will be part of Freak Valley Festival 2013!!

After countless evenings and nights in front of, and around, the bar counter. After long, fiery discussions about the first Sabbath-album, endless arguments over what the best work of Hendrix is, and how everything just sounded so much better before - these guys felt the time was right to take matters into their own hands.
Three bearded swedes and two norwegians immediately started to deep-dive into their own private collections of LPs and thus the conception of a musical journey, unpreceded - ever before, or after, for that matter - was in process.

Inspiration is drawn from amongst others: Blue Cheer, Cream, Pentagram and Grand Funk Railroad. In other words: butterfingered, groovy and psychedelic hard rock! So bring forth your bellbottoms and wide lapels....Rock N' Roll is lovely, isnt it?!!

BRUTUS is a HELLHOUND!!

Danish Doomsters MOONLESS will play Freak Valley Festival 2013!!

16.11.12

We are deeply doomed to welcome the excellent stoner/doom/sludge band MOONLESS from Copenhagen, Denmark at Freak Valley Festival 2013!

MOONLESS started out identifying themselves as a doom band based on the doom Rosetta Stone template of Black Sabbath. But like early Sleep, Electric Wizard and Orange Goblin, as they evolved their sound, they developed a more of a fuzzed out stoner vibe.
Gnarly slabs of greasy riffage marry the vibe of early Black Sabbath and the attitude of mid-paced Buffalo (Australia's heavy hitters from the 1970's) with a blend of Maryland doom and traditional heavy metal.

Moonless have been dominating the almost non existent stoner scene in Denmark, supporting legendary bands such as Saint Vitus, Pentagram and Church of Misery.

So expect a worship of the heavy riff, slow groove, and to get blown away.

Welcome WOLVERINE BLUES to Freak Valley Festivals line-up 2013!!

12.11.12

We are very pleased that WOLVERINE BLUES will play Freak Valley Festival 2013!!

The band was formed with members of Ethereal Riffian, Bluesbreaker and Woundead, fall 2011 in Kiev/Ukraine. Their sound is fucking fantastic. It’s 50% blues, 50% stoner metal/rock and 110% going to kick your ass!





 

 



 

Swedens MAMONT will bring delicious early 70s guitar grooves to Freak Valley Festival 2013!!

09.11.12

We are delighted to announce that the excellent new band from Nyköping/Stockholm MAMONT will rock Freak Valley Festival 2013!!.

They will bring delicious early 70's guitar grooves from early BLACK SABBATH, LEAF HOUND and WITCHCRAFT you could ever dream of! This quartet bends your mind with their sonic boom rythms. Thunder and lightning bring out heavy tunes of doom, insanity into psychedelia and stoner. They've got a retro feeling, 70's rock had a revival during the latest twenty years, but what is that makes a band stand out in today's great variety of this kind of rock? Is it the encomprimising rawness of the psychedelia-based Sabbath riffs that once was written? Is it the vintage speakers, combined with pure analogue recording that the commercial scene lacks? Or is it just spelled MAMONT? Four enthusiasts from Stockholm/Nyköping, Sweden, have managed to shape a palette of doom-based rock with heavy fuzzy elements. MAMONT offers us compositions of very high caliber mixing heavy doom, psychedelick rock and stoner. We find the vintage sounds, percussive riffs calibrated and thus following the footsteps of their early Black Sabbath cronies.

LONG DISTANCE CALLING announced for FREAK VALLEY FESTIVAL 2013

01.11.12

 

We are totally flashed to announce the first German band at FREAK VALLEY FESTIVAL 2013!!

LONG DISTANCE CALLING will headline Thursday 30th May !!


LONG DISTANCE CALLING will present their new album "The Flood Inside" which will be released in March.
You will be able to welcome the band with their new vocalist on stage!

Having recorded a handful of releases that, aside from featuring one song with vocals per album, are completely instrumental, Germany’s LONG DISTANCE CALLING has taken on the challenge of adding a vocalist to the band. Singer Martin “Marsen” Fischer (Pigeon Toe, ex-Fear My Thoughts) has taken on the role of front-man for the group.
The suggestion that LONG DISTANCE CALLING has effectively cut their potential audience in half by not having a singer is met with contempt by its members. “We didn't plan to be an instrumental band, it just happened. At first we couldn’t find a singer who was good enough. Later on we realized that our songs worked pretty well without vocals. We prefer to allow the music to get our message across without any frontman bullshit. We enjoy creating a special atmosphere while rocking without the typical musical borders. The fact that we don't have a singer has enabled us to play to completely different crowds of people, supporting bands like Opeth, Katatonia, Dredg, labelmates And You Will Know Us By Trail Of Dead, Anathema, Coheed And Cambria, and Deftones.” A quality that is underlined by appearances on a broad variety of festivals such as Rock am Ring, Roadburn, Eurosonic Noorderslag, Area 4, Summer Breeze, Burg Herzberg or Wave Gotik Treffen - and now: FREAK VALLEY FESTIVAL !!

Note: EARLY BIRD TICKETS are nearly sold out!! So hurry up!!

ASTEROID added to the Freak Valley 2013 lineup!!

26.10.12

We are totally flashed to announce the first Thursday band for FREAK VALLEY FESTIVAL 2013!!

Swedish 70s style fuzz/stoner upstarts ASTEROID !!


After the split release with Blowback back in 2006, the first full length in 2007 and the soph
omore album in 2010 - ASTEROID are now one of the leading stoner/psychedelic rock bands in Europe and famous for bringing new sounds and ideas to the genre with their wide mix of 70's rock, blues and Swedish folk. The band has spent a lot of time touring in countries which include Sweden, England, Finland and Central Europe, shared the stage with such bands as Graveyard, My Sleeping Karma, Abramis Brama and Witchcraft. They have also played several big festivals (for example the well known Stoned from the Underground).

Now after a line-up change in early 2011 and finding a new drummer in Henrik Jansson - the time has cometh - ASTEROID strikes again.
They are now in the process of recording the eagerly awaited 7" and rehearsing new tracks for the next full length album, which is scheduled to be recorded in late 2012.
The Mighty Asteroid Travelling Show will have a stop at Freak Valley Festival!!




 

ORANGE GOBLIN will headline FVF 2013!!!

11.10.12

 

We are totally thrilled to announce that UK Stoner Riff Lords ORANGE GOBLIN will headline FREAK VALLEY FESTIVAL 2013!!


Heavy Metal is not just about music: it's a way of life, a motivating mind-set, a positive force and an inspirational belief system. It's the most exciting, life-affirming noise that exists on this planet of ours, and London's indestructible masters of the furious form are ORANGE GOBLIN. Not just the UK's reigning champions of balls-out, party-starting, booze-fuelled metal, but one of the very best live rock bands of all time, the mighty ORANGE GOBLIN have been a permanent and universally admired fixture on the British metal circuit for the past 17 years. And now they're back, with ‘A Eulogy for the Damned', their seventh and best studio album. A thunderous tour-de-force of gargantuan riffs, subterranean rumble and electrifying energy, it is the album the band have been threatening to make since they first crawled, with crumpled beer cans in hand, from the grubby Soho shadows back in the mid-90s.

Inspired by the gods of hard rock, heavy metal, punk rock and underground extremity, from Sabbath, Motörhead and Thin Lizzy through to Celtic Frost, Danzig and Black Flag, ORANGE GOBLIN were initially seen as major contenders amid the mid-90s stoner rock explosion, but it soon became apparent that this band had much more up their collective wizard's sleeve than red-eyed boogie and flapping flares. In fact, over the course of their roller coaster career, the band have proved themselves to be one of the most consistent and persistent forces in modern heavy music, amassing a catalogue of albums that rivals anything released during the same period. From the rambunctious, heads-down exuberance of their Frequencies From Planet Ten debut in 1997 through to the multi-genre bonfire of insanities that was 2007's Healing Through Fire, ORANGE GOBLIN have always kicked arse, always written songs that hit home like a stage diver's boot connecting with your forehead, always delivered the rampaging heavy metal goods while meaning every last riff, beat, solo and bellow.

A lean, mean hard rocking' machine…the eight-legged tag team of frontman Ben Ward, bassist Martyn Millard, guitarist Joe Hoare and drummer Chris Turner have reached a new peak of creativity and one-two-fuck-you intensity on 'A Eulogy For The Damned'. This is the album that deftly encapsulates everything that is exhilarating and admirable about this most dedicated and humble of British metal wrecking crews and that deserves to propel ORANGE GOBLIN to the front of the British metal queue. They're back and the party is starting all over again. Whose round is it??

Orange Sunshine added to lineup 2013!!

10.10.12

 

This year they had to cancel their show due to health problems.
We are very psyched that ORANGE SUNSHINE will play FREAK VALLEY FESTIVAL 2013
!


ORANGE SUNSHINE: catching the very soul of the motor-blues garage-punk and acid proto-hardrock era of the late '60's and the early 70's? With band members derived from several Dutch '80's and '90's hardcore, garage-, doom-, acid-, surf-, noise-, punk- and hard-rock bands Orange Sunshine started in a squat in The Hague early 1999 as a traditional 3-piece power blues band playing a mix of blues covers and originals in a very explosive way, in the very same intense way and with the very same raw sound and the very same high volume as the much inspiring power blues bands BLUE CHEER, MC5 and STACKWADDY once did in the late '60's, rendering, or should we say screaming out, the same pain, the same drugs (LSD, amphetamines, opiates), the same tension and the same soul.
Many shows followed, in many squats and bars, parties and youth centres, regular venues and main concert halls, in the Netherlands and abroad - now also finally at FREAK VALLEY!!

Uncle Acid & the deadbeats confirmed!!

04.10.12

 

A dream comes true...!!!

UNCLE ACID & THE DEADBEATS will play FREAK VALLEY FESTIVAL
2013 !!!

Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats
Arriving at an abandoned barn beneath a dead summer sky,Uncle Acid sets up his crackling vintage tweed amp. Nestled between bales of hay he sings tales of murder, lust and horror. He is soon joined by two female deadbeats he met hitchhiking. Playing on battered old pawnshop instruments, the trio records their tales onto a broken 8-track tape machine. A strange dynamic appears within the band, as Acid reveals himself as leader and controller of minds. The band has now taken over the barn. Illegal electricity powers old televisions and amplifiers. Old horror films play constantly as the trio delves deeper into a strange understanding based on drugs, lust and control.

The music continues...

Early Bird Ticket sale starts!!

CAUSA SUI will play an exclusive show at FVF 2013!!!

09.09.12

 

Ok brothers and sisters - here we go:

We are totally thrilled that Denmarks spacefacers CAUSA SUI will play Freak Valley Festival 2013!!

Denmark's Causa Sui plays a heady, fuzzed-out mix of 60's acid rock, kraut rock and proto-hardrock -think Can meets Blue Cheer or Hendrix mainlining Randy Holden. Forget about the glut of retro-rock bands wandering around in their paisley shirts and bellbottom jeans, Causa Sui is a band with a pile of killer riffs and a protean ability to jam.

And man, can these guys fuckin' play -far friggin' out!!!
