TAU CROSS (Michel “Away” Langevin-Drums missing from the pic)

TAU CROSS, the veteran punk / metal collective, revolving around Amebix bassist/frontman Rob Miller, Voivod drummer Michel ‘Away’ Langevin, and members of cult crust outfit Misery, has announced that it will be performing at Roadburn 2016 on Saturday, April 16th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, The Netherlands! TAU CROSS will be sharing the main stage with post-metal visionaries and Relapse alumni NEUROSIS, who will be celebrating their 30th anniversary at the festival. TAU CROSS‘s Roadburn performance is a one-off show, and is the band’s only confirmed EU performance to date.

Said vocalist/bassist Rob Miller:
“Tau Cross are delighted to announce that we have been invited to play at the 2016 Roadburn Festival. This will be our only upcoming European show, we are all looking forward to playing at this very special event.”

TAU CROSS‘s eponymous debut full-length (released via Relapse in April 2015) has a style that melds together acts like Killing Joke, Motorhead and New Model Army; however, the band is without a doubt a beast of its own, and the album is quite difficult to pin down from a musical perspective. Rob Miller’s heroic croak is set right at the sinister heart of the band’s sound, which evokes “the two changing faces of the United Kingdom: on the one hand, raw natural beauty and years of tradition and culture; on the other, the relentless grinding of machinery and technological advancement,” according to Invisible Oranges. Unsurprisingly, TAU CROSS‘s debut album had no trouble causing quite a stir, due in no small part because of its ability to appeal to a wide range of musical extremities, from post-punk to doom and protest-folk to metal.

Tau Cross is available for physical purchase via Relapse HERE, and is available for streaming and digital download via the band’s Bandcamp page HERE.
