Not long ago (End Of Last March) we had caught the announcement done by our mates out at the cool Ukrainian blog Dimension of Sonic Excellence, aka Robust Fellow, about the imminent release of the DVD illustrating and, I would say, duly celebrating the second edition of the international, hard hitting and heavily rocking festival organized by the Robust fellow guys: the RobustFest.
It is not the first time that I declare my appreciation for the hard work done by the Robust Fellow team. These guys have been able to establish one of the most involving and well organized international underground festivals in Europe and, especially, in Eastern Europe. Eastern Europe is a gold mine for the undisputably high quality of the underground music scene (metal and heavy rock) as well as for the enthusiasm and passion with which the fan base are still able to meet the foreign bands coming to play. No wonder that after the first successful debut back in 2011, the second edition of the RobustFest, held in Kiev in early September 2012, turned out to be a great achievement indeed. So let’s hope that further and even wider editions of this cool event will come!
The teaser video shown in the previous post (and that you can see below) is mouth-watering. Now the complete DVD is available and will make you plunge into a great parade and hard rocking feast involving some great bands indeed. Let's remember that the RobustFest Vol. II involved 9 bands from 6 countries and covering genres ranging from heavy psychedelia, krautrock, fuzzy stoner, southern heavy blues rock, drone, doom and sludge metal: Samsara Blues Experiment (Germany), Frogskin (Finland), Le Scimmie (Italy), Brand Band (Russia), Methadone Skies (Romania), Mozergush, Krobak and Johnny B Gut (Ukraine). The super-cool high-quality graphic design and features of the package is guaranteed by the magic artistic touch of legendary blogger and fuzz rock musician Stonezilla, that many of you will remember from the old Sludgeswamp days!
For ordering the DVD just shoot a message to robustfellowship@gmail.com naming the theme "Robust DVD".
But I advise you to go and check out the original and Quite Descriptive Post by the Robust guys for details about this cool release which comes out in two different versions, "standard" and "deluxe", with heaps of exclusive bonus musical and graphic features and tricks!
