Vuur & Zijde – why?
As a relatively new project featuring members of renowned Dutch BM -acts like Laster, Nusquama, Silver Knife. Grey Aura, Witte Wieven and Terzij de Horde, Vuur & Zijde’s music is described as “bleakly beautiful,” combining the atmospheric and melodic elements of Post-Punk with an underlying black metal intensity and rawness. Fittingly named (Vuur & Zijde means Fire & Silk in Dutch), their ability to create music that is both fierce and soothing sets them apart from the crowd. Bucking conventions (motherhood and unconditional love as the subject matter of their debut Boezem last year), citing Dead Can Dance and Cocteau Twins as influences and future shows expected to be a rare occurence, this set should be a no-brainer for everybody with an inclination to at least one of the aforementioned elements and cross-references. The highly creative Dutch scene is something precious and rewards the listener in many ways. Vuur & Zijde will give you something new and lasting, which you can cherish long after Roadburn 2025 has ended. What could be better to leave you happy and hyped up for the next edition of RB. Do yourself a favor and go see Vuur & Zijde on the last day of the festival!
Vuur & Zijde will perform on Sunday, April 20!
