PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
BLOODSTOCK is excited to announce four more bands for 2018! Tickets are moving faster than ever for 2018’s weekender, with ‘Serpent’s Lair’ VIP tickets sold out completely! Don’t delay in picking up your ticket before August comes around. We’re expecting another weekend sell-out this year! Now for the latest band announcement…
Sunday’s special guest on the Ronnie James Dio main stage will be AT THE GATES. The Swedish melodeath overlords are hard at work on the follow up album to 2014’s ‘At War With Reality’ which is set for release on 18th May via Century Media. Check out their latest studio report over on drummer Adrian Erlandsson’s YouTube channel – https://youtu.be/auP9OpZaKaQ.
Cruising into a Saturday night special guest slot on the Sophie stage are seminal New Orleans thrash pioneers, EXHORDER. Arguably the creators of the original sound that Pantera honed and took to the masses, when we learned the band had reformed, we *had* to bring them to BLOODSTOCK! Check out their classic 1990 debut studio album, ‘Slaughter In The Vatican’ at https://youtu.be/3pF8S_ssMmI.
Las Vegas sludge metal beasts, WEIGHT OF THE TIDE land a Sophie stage slot. The band released second album, ‘All Told’ via Undergroove Records late last year. Check out a taster of that release via the video for ‘The Architect’ here – https://youtu.be/QLWbEYoDdxA.
California death metal outfit, SANGRE also join the Sophie stage bill. Not familiar with SANGRE? Then get a taster over at their Bandcamp page – https://sangremetal.bandcamp.com/.
