PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
BLOODSTOCK is becoming the serious metal fan’s festival of choice in 2014, now adding their three headliners for the Sophie Lancaster Big Top stage.
Friday’s Sophie stage headliners are Greek extreme metal overlords ROTTING CHRIST. Much revered, ROTTING CHRIST were one of the first black metal bands in the region, forming back in ‘87 and going on to create the genre’s Greek signature sound of the 90’s. The band are touring Japan and Thailand in early 2014, and are looking forward to headlining the Sophie stage at BLOODSTOCK, commenting “Proudly on the roster of one of Bloodiest festivals around! It will be an honour to perform for our English Metal brothers. Until then… KEEP THE TRUE METAL SPIRIT ALIVE!”
Their eleventh album, ‘Κατά τον δαίμονα εαυτού’ is out now via Season of Mist. Get a taster of their live show intensity in this fan-filmed footage from Hellfest ‘13 below. Not a band to be missed! Delve for more info at: www.rotting-christ.com.
Into female-fronted metal bands? Swedish metalheads SISTER SIN, led by the feisty Liv Jagrell, close out the Sophie stage on Saturday. The Gothenburg based band will be blasting out tunes from their best-selling third album, ‘Now And Forever’, which debuted on the Swedish album charts at #6, and have been honing their live chops touring with road dogs Motorhead, Otep, and Arch Enemy, among others.

Bloodstock is delighted to welcome Sunday’s Sophie headliners, the reunited classic NWOBHM shredders, SATAN. Be sure to check out their latest Listenable Records album ‘Life Sentence’. It’s been 26 years since their last release! Metal Hammer recently described it as, “A bolt straight out of the NWOBHM’s glorious heyday, this is all galloping melodies, ripping riffage, and enough fist-pumping moments to make Manowar look like My Dying Bride. A sensational return and a serious shout for best straight-up heavy metal album of 2013.” Find out for yourself over at: www.satanmusic.com.
