Summer is almost here and with summer comes festival season – yeaaaahhh! And the most metal weekend of the summer comes from Catton Park and Bloodstock, who have just announced another batch of bands and the day splits so you can plan your hangovers accordingly.
Slotting into the Sophie Lancaster stage across the weekend are Messiah’s Kiss (featuring former sessions musicians for Saxon and Tony Iommi), veteran thrashers Annihilated, progressive death metallers Ageless Oblivion, digi-tech metalheads The Izuna Drop (featuring Jamie from UK Subs) and the Brum psych-doomers Alunah.
A bunch of bands have also been announced for the Jagermeister stage across the weekend. Want to discover something new? How about the instrumental progsters The Parallax Method or the dark melodic stylings of Winter Storm? There’s also sleaze ‘n’ roll newbies Knock Out Kaine, the NWOBHM-inspired Blind Haze and Irish proggies Snowblind.
And if you can’t wait for August to get your heavy metal fix, get your arse along to one of the Bloodstock club nights! There are ticket and merch giveaways plus loads more. Date here:
