10TH ANNIVERSARY MASSIVE SUCCESS WITH OVER 11,600 IN ATTENDENCE

2011 HEADLINERS ANNOUNCED - IMMORTAL ONLY UK SHOW OF 2011

BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR solidified it’s position as the UK’s only true outdoor Metal Festival, enjoying it’s most successful year so far. As well as celebrating it’s 10th anniversary, BLOODSTOCK reached yet another milestone achieving it’s first five figure turn out. Over 11,600 metalheads descended upon Catton Hall in Derbyshire to see nearly 80 acts, including headliners OPETH, CHILDREN OF BODOM, FEAR FACTORY and TWISTED SISTER, as well as a plethora of other top names in the world of metal.

Highlights included a one minute tribute to the legendary RONNIE JAMES DIO - 60 seconds of cheering and horn raising - to christen the main stage, and a very rare performance from Swedish tech-metal heroes MESHUGGAH on Friday, a highly memorable set from DEVIN TOWNSEND on Saturday, who after contending with having his band’s equipment held up in customs, turned the disaster around to put on an extremely entertaining show, pulling in one of the biggest crowds of the weekend. Sunday saw the first ever UK performance of death metal supergroup BLOODBATH, who took the stage covered in bruises, cuts and an assortment of other injuries, as well as GOJIRA’s only UK show of 2010.

After BLOODBATH’s set, GWAR frontman ODERUS URUNGUS took the stage draw the winner for BLOODSTOCK’s exclusive car raffle, making one lucky attendee’s weekend by handing over the keys to a brand new Toyota Aygo.

But the real surprise treat came following death metal legend’s CANNIBAL CORPSE’s punishingly heavy set, when BLOODSTOCK revealed the first headliners for 2011. The news of IMMORTAL’s only UK show of 2011 via a two-minute trailer on the main stage video screen was welcomed with huge cheers from the BLOODSTOCK crowd, leaving no doubt that the Norwegian Black Metallers’s first ever UK festival performance will be a highly anticipated one.

With TWISTED SISTER about to take the stage, the atmosphere at Catton Hall right now is electric, with all present enjoying not only BLOODSTOCK’s most successful year yet, but also the excitement of the first announcement for 2011, tickets for which go on sale tomorrow, Monday 16th August for the roll back price of £90 - fixed until December 2010 to beat the VAT increase.

Bloodstock are pleased to announce that we’ve added an additional 5 bands to the bill !!

Yep that’s right 5 more acts that promise to make this the best Bloodstock ever and celebrate 10 years in the making.

All the bands will be performing on the Jagermeister Acoustic Stage which is positioned in the heart of the main arena.

Sworn To Oath, Point Blank Fury, Hanging Doll, Cosmic Vortex Of Doom and Fury UK will all be offering acoustic renditions of their tracks.

More bands will be added to the Jagermeister Stage including some major surprises – so keep em peeled!


FRIDAY
14.55 - 15.25 - VICTOR SMOLSKI GUITAR CLINIC

When talking about the guitarist, Victor Smolski, it's impossible to restrict yourself to just one superlative if you want to do justice to the extraordinary talent and artistic diversity of this unique musician. The RAGE guitarist will be giving a full demonstration of his outstanding shredding in a breathtaking display of neck wrenching guitar work.

17.30 - 18.00 - SWORN TO OATH

Hailing from the midlands, brought up on a diet of blues, old school rock & metal then later finding a heavier voice to identify with, sworn to oath are a tight clenched fist in the face of a mundane, static society. Having individually served time learning the ropes, the three pillars of s2o are ready to take no prisoners and have their sights set high, priding themselves on their live show.

http://www.myspace.com/sworntooath

19.00 - 19.30 - BETRAEUS
Incorporating many different styles and influences to create a haunting yet blistering assault on the senses, Betraeus, the Manchester based 4 piece remind you truly why you got into extreme metal in the first place. Their full set can be seen in the unsigned stage, but this promises to be an acoustic set with a special dedication to the late, great Ronnie James Dio.

http://www.myspace.com/betraeus


SATURDAY

13.45 – 2.15 – POINT BLANK FURY

Point Blank Fury consist of 5 hairy rockers from the home of metal, Birmingham, UK. They were formed in late 2008 out of a desire to create the best “No bullshit” musically and visually intoxicating band on the circuit. As we move out of the “naughties” and into a new decade expect to hear a lot more from this band! “This band has seriously got it!”

http://www.myspace.com/pointblankfury

14.55 -15.25 - HANGING DOLL

The dark intense orchestral metal of hanging doll combines pure passionate and powerful vocals with dense levels of narcissism and emotional longing. The fusion of brooding detuned guitar riffs with highly melodic string patterns and a metal core is without doubt a potent mix, both powerful and poignant. Without conceding to convention or imitation hanging doll are happy to dispel all critics and disbelievers with their mature epic and multi textured sound.

http://www.myspace.com/hangingdoll

17.30 - 18.00 - COSMIC VORTEX OF DOOM

The cosmic vortex of doom are a bunch of filthy stinking, bean-flicking, whisky drinking, hard rocking, stoned, bad-ass stoner/doom/metal bastards. Influenced by the sounds of Iron Monkey, Cathedral, Black Sabbath and Electric Wizard as well as various power metal and prog bands. Having recently recorded a new four track ep, the result sounds fucking huge! Stand by ya beds for some Acoustic Doooom!!

http://www.myspace.com/thecosmicvortexofdoom

19.00 - 19.30 - SILAS

Deep in the suburbs of South East London, an awesome force known as Silas has been mesmerising the audiences of bars, clubs and home stereos in every direction, building a legion of fans with which to take over the world of rock music as we know it… Their style is primarily rock and metal, but uniquely incorporates many other styles such as jazz, reggae, blues and funk. This makes for a very unusual brand of rock music, focusing largely on melody and energy, with unusual riffs and catchy hooks as well as extremely heavy sections, progressiveness and other-worldly guitar solos and perfectly suitable for the Acoustic Stage.

http://www.myspace.com/silasworld


SUNDAY

17.30 18.00 - FURY UK

Showcasing songs from the new album "A Way Of Life" this is a welcome return to the Manchester Metallers Fury UK with some pure British Rock & Metal given the acoustic twist. Since signing to Rocksector Records in 2007, Fury UK has emerged as one of the most exciting young classic metal bands Britain has to offer, with quality albums & uplifting live performances….

Metal Hammer recently said..... "it's always good to discover a new favourite band at festivals and Fury UK seem destined to fit that bill for plenty of people. Their stirring old-school metal sidesteps retro cliche and goes for the jugular with lashings of blistering lead work and planet-sized tune"

BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR - TWO DAYS TO GO!

BEHEMOTH FORCED TO CANCEL -
CATHEDRAL STEP UP TO REPLACE THEM

RUNNING ORDER REVEALED

OCTOBER FILE REPLACED BY WINTERFYLLETH


With only two days to go until the 10th anniversary of the UK’s only true outdoor Heavy Metal Festival, BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR is full steam ahead with preparations. First of all, some last minute changes to the line-up.

We have just received news that BEHEMOTH frontman NERGAL was rushed to hospital, and as a result has been forced to cancel scheduled BEHEMOTH shows, including BLOODSTOCK. Our thoughts and best wishes go out to NERGAL and his family, and we wish him a speedy recovery.

Taking their place will be English doom legends CATHEDRAL, who make their BLOODSTOCK debut with this last minute confirmation. Says frontman LEE DORIAN:


Sadly OCTOBER FILE have also had to cancel their performance due to vocalist Ben Hollyer exacerbating his current stomach injury at their recent Sonisphere festival set. Explains Ben:

“Unfortunately I have had to pull out of performing at BOA this year and our first year too! I am absolutely gutted that we can't be there. A recent injury involving my abdominal muscles tearing down the middle has made performing not possible. Have a good BOA!!”

Stepping up at the 11th hour to replace them are rising folk flavoured black metallers and current ZERO TOLERANCE MAGAZINE coverstars WINTERFYLLETH. Vocalist/guitarist Chris Naughton states:

"Winterfylleth are truly humbled to be asked to play at one of the finest metal festivals going on within our fair shores. It is a privilege for us as existing fans of the festival to now be considered amongst some of the great bands that are playing at the festival this year. We are looking forward to standing alongside acts like Gorgoroth, Behemoth and many others, bringing our brand of English inspired Black Metal to such a discerning and committed festival following. We look forward to seeing you there. Hail Bloodstock".

TIMES AND BANDS TO BE ANNOUNCED OVER THE WEEKEND

This year’s BLOODSTOCK offers some of the top names in metal - many of whom you won’t see at any other festival this summer - as well as a host of unsigned talent who have battled their way to the unsigned stage. However BLOODSTOCK is not just about some of the most exciting performances in metal - there’s a whole host of entertainment and activities on offer to make this the best weekend in the metal calendar.

Thursday night is party night, with Freddy vs Jason as the theme. Prizes will be offered to the best looking monsters on site!

The bands performing will be taking time out to meet the fans, courtesy of the official METAL HAMMER signing tent - look out for signing times posted outside for your chance to meet the stars!

There’s also a host of fairground attractions, including dodgems and white knuckle rides. Unlike most festivals, BLOODSTOCK will also have a pub on site offering REAL ALE. The BLOODSTOCK ARMS will be open all weekend to provide refreshing, reasonably priced HOBGOBLIN ales to quench the thirst of the metal masses. What’s more - for the real ale connoisseurs - the VIP bar will boast no less than 30 different ales on offer, upgrades for which are still available.

Of course, it would not be BLOODSTOCK without the renowned METAL KARAOKE. Part of what makes BLOODSTOCK so special, the FOUR DJS OF THE APOCALYPSE host the ultimate party in the SOPHIE LANCASTER stage once all the bands have finished, giving YOU the chance to be the star with a menu of mighty metal classics to sing along to. The fierce foursome will also be hosting a metal disco, giving you a chance to rest your vocal chords and headbang along to old and new favourites.

This year, BLOODSTOCK also has a very special raffle, as a way of saying thanks to the fans for their 10 years of support. All BLOODSTOCK ticket holders will be automatically given the chance to win a beast of a prize - as heavy as it is metal. A brand new TOYOTA AYGO 1.0 VVT-I - crammed full of goodies including music, merchandise, a Black BC RICH WARBEAST GUITAR, and a plethora of other mouth-watering prizes, will be given to one lucky winner at the end of the hottest weekend in the metal calendar. What’s more, one runner-up will receive a BC RICH Guitar, 2 x VIP Weekend Tickets to BOA 2011 plus a goody bag full of Bloodstock and band merchandise.

METAL 2 THE MASSES - FINAL WINNERS ANNOUNCED COLLAPSE ADDED TO SOPHIE LANCASTER STAGE

The special 10th anniversary of BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2010 is less than a month away. Featuring metal giants such as OPETH, CHILDREN OF BODOM, FEAR FACTORY, TWISTED SISTER, plus a special guest slot filled by MESHUGGAH, BLOODSTOCK is the only outdoor true metal festival in the UK.

With a reputation for introducing new bands to the world of Metal, BLOODSTOCK is also the place to find the best of the unsigned talent, the names who will be on everyone’s lips in the not too distant future, via the huge unsigned initiative known as METAL 2 THE MASSES.

Now, with just four weeks to go, the final winners can be revealed, plus a full rundown of the Saturday line up.

BOURNEMOUTH - METAL 2 THE MASSES WINNERS

FLAYED DISCIPLE
Following the success of 2009's debut EP 'Drawn Viscera', Flayed Disciple have now completed their 2010 self titled EP, containing two new tracks 'Ejaculate While Killing' and 'Exodus', keeping to their soldering iron-hot, thrashing death metal style. Their new EP oozes brutality & potential, showing labels, promoters & the metal industry just how far the band has come, progressively & evolutionarily. Flayed Disciple have set themselves a goal for the future of complete worldwide release of a full length album, and touring in as many countries that will have them. 2010 is purely the beginning for a band that has worked extremely hard to get where they are today, and who has plenty left in them to be lasting faces on the worldwide metal scene.
WEBSITE - www.flayeddisciple.com

BLOODSTOCK are also proud to announce the addition of up and comers COLLAPSE. Drawing from the European melodic metal of acts such as The Haunted and Carcass, infused with the crushing grooves of US bands like Lamb of God and Pantera, COLLAPSE are bound to go down a storm at the SOPHIE LANCASTER stage on the Friday. Says frontman Duncan Wilkinson:

“We can’t wait to play Bloodstock! And on Friday the 13th too! Not only is it perfect timing for us as we’ve just finished in the studio, but it will also see us sharing the stage with some of our personal heroes and musical influences. Bloodstock has gone from strength to strength and this year looks set to be a real stormer. See you down the front “

Swindon - Metal 2 The masses Winners



SENTURIA

After its debut show on Halloween 2009 to a sell-out crowd of 200 opening for Burning Skies and Evita, Senturia – a metalcore 5 piece from Bristol – have hit the live scene hard, incessantly and mercilessly, performing all over the Midlands and South of England supporting the likes of Shai Hulud, Carcer City, Shadow Law, etc. With musical influences that cross over many metal genres, and intense and memorable live performances that border on mayhem, Senturia have been gaining strong popularity and radio play in the South West, as well as acclaimed reviews such as “These boys are hotter than Milla Jovovich covered in hot sauce and roasted in the fires of a rocket!” (Tom Himself, Swindon 105.5 FM)


Myspace - www.myspace.com/senturia



Truro - Metal 2 The Masses Winners



CREDIT TO DEMENTIA

Credit To Dementia initially formed in 2008 in Cornwall. Influenced by many different forms of metal and other musical styles. After numerous line up changes the band has been ripping it up all over Cornwall with the aim of taking their unique blend of metal to a wider stage. The current line up has been performing since early 2010 and are now ready to achieve their aim and play to the metal masses!

So what is our style and what do we sound like?? Some people think we're a thrash band, others think we're death metal and some probably just think we're a load of shit so come check us out, listen to our recordings and decide for yourself!


Myspace - www.myspace.com/credittodementiaband



Brighton - Metal 2 The Masses Winners



LITHURGY

Mastodon, Neurosis, The Mars Volta and Pink Floyd are some of the many great artists who inspire and help us to carry on pushing music forward.

Always writing, our sound is constantly evolving, moving and growing beyond our expectations.

We feel most at home performing live and playing our music the way it is meant to be heard. Our live show allows us to express ourselves and demonstrate the passion we feel for what we do.

We have been making a name for ourselves over the past few years gigging with great bands such as Textures, No Made Sense, Tesseract, Malefice, Church of Misery and many others.


Myspace - www.myspace.com/lithurgy



London - Metal 2 The Masses Winners



SHRAPNEL

Shrapnel formed in 2009 and in less than eighteen months have achieved more than most do in years. With appearances at the Scala in London, Full Thrash Assault Festival 2010, a support slot with Sepultura and now Bloodstock open Air 2010, the bands hard work and determination is more than apparent.



With a ‘no nonsense’ approach to Thrash, Shrapnel deliver on both CD and in a live setting. From screaming guitar solos to the crushing drum fills Shrapnel are reminiscent of the Glory Days of Thrash Metal but not so much they try to re-create them. If you like old school Thrash your not going to want to miss Shrapnel

London - Unsigned Addition



AGHAST

AGHAST are a four piece Extreme Metal Band from London, their music has most often been described as "Extreme Metal".

They take inspiration from from the Trash - Infused sounds of the Scandinavian Scene and the Groove - Orientated Metal of the USA in the early 1990's.

Their style incorporates the unbridled aggression and pummeling blast-beats of early death metal with a nod to the more recent crop of "Metalcore" and "Deathcore" acts.



The AGHAST! sound is forward-thinking, uncompromising and instantly recognisable.

METAL 2 THE MASSES WINNERS - MANCHESTER

"Emerging from Manchester in late 2008, four piece metal band Betraeus mix a vast amount of musical styles from acoustic fingerstyle, jazz, ambient and world music to create their progressive and haunting, dark and groovey, sometimes beautiful, extreme metal sound. Always searching to push the boundaries of modern music, Betraeus effortlessly incorporate epic sweeping melodies and vocal harmonies to groovy bass lines and blast beats, whilst keeping your head banging with a menacing growl and face melting dual guitar work! In a time where music is all about the haircut and tight jeans, Betraeus are hell bent on hammer smashing this scene by bringing real British metal back to the music! A definite hit for true metal heads, musicians and fans of Gojira, Opeth, Decapitated and the unexpected!

'Live and die metal!'"

METAL 2 THE MASSES WINNERS – LEEDS

Grieve are a Huddersfield based heavy metal band that use a selection of groovy and powerful riffs to rip up the stage and always look to pump up the audience. With six years of solid gigging and progressing musically, Grieve have formed a tight set of straight up heavy metal. As the members of the band became more experienced and mature, their sound did the same. Catchy riffs accompanied more focused and well thought out lyrics and the bands' energy and stage presence grew more and more powerful. Originally being influenced by early Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath gives them a more dynamic mix of classic metal which successfully accompanies the aggressive down tuned feel they create now.

Glasgow based Achren's brand of metal is crushingly heavy and uncompromising. Formed in early 2003 with the aim of forging raw, filthy, heavy as Fuck metal, their music is a mixture of all Extreme Metal, Black Metal Screams, Death Metal Growls, Thrashy Riffs, Black Metal Riffs & Pounding Drums; everything raw, powerful and heavy.


If the future’s dark, the future’s Achren.

Formed in the summer of 2008 Burn The Hive have been busy writing material to get their music ready for the stage. The band members have been around for a fair while and have been established in the South Wales Music Scene including The Future, Hondo Maclean, Bluntside, Sons Of Thunder, Vikkii Van Zant and others.

Bloodstock’s very own Metal 2 The Masses Roadshow has started tearing up and down the country to find you the best in Breaking Metal. We’re delighted to announce the following additions to this years festivities !!

SPLINTERED SOUL
METAL 2 THE MASSES WINNERS - KENT
Formed in 2009 by guitarist Chris Frost, Splintered Soul combine a wide range of styles to produce their own unique brand of progressive metal. Influences include numerous classical composers and film scores, blended with a variety of heavy metal sub-genres. Even before the completion of the band, Splintered Soul were inundated with requests for an album, and achieved worldwide airplay with the release of an Instrumental EP. With the line-up completed, the crushing riffs and sweeping solos were fused with the soaring vocals of classically-trained soprano Mandi Bailey. The band's first live performance saw them take to the main stage of the Red Roar festival in support of Panic Cell, The Rotted and Silent Descent, and the resulting popularity ensured that Splintered Soul were headlining by their second show. This year it is Splintered Soul's turn to bring their live performance to Bloodstock, and the show is not to be missed!

ZOCALO
UNSIGNED ADDITION - KENT
So who are we......Well, Zocalo are a South-London, 5 piece, groove-metal band. Playing in a style we like to call 'Blooze'. It's all the best bits of Heavy-Metal & Blues mixed with funky strutting grooves. We've been around for 6 years now tearing up pubs, clubs & venues all over England playing with some of the finest bands in the scene, entering several competitions and placing pretty well, until this year, when we won 'BANDQUEST 2010 - Kent' and the right to play the 'Unsigned stage' at this years BLOODSTOCK Open Air festival. Stoked doesn't quite cover it. We play because we love it and that's the point. Everything else is big bonus.

ECHOES FALL
METAL 2 THE MASSES WINNERS - ESSEX
Forged in the cesspool known as Ipswich, Echoes Fall roared onto the metal scene in the bitter winter of 2008. Initial tracks like “Ignite The Fury” set the stage for the boys and opened a world of local and national gigs with many high profile bands including Criminal, Forever Never and Fei Comodo. EF provide a live show akin to none and will be sure to get you moving in no time. While mixing two genres is never easy, the lads have proved that you can fuse elements of melody and brutality, and still produce a unique sound

SILAS
UNSIGNED ADDITION - ESSEX
Silas were formed in mid 2008; coming together after 7 years experience on the circuit gigging with different bands, they leave crowds shattered with the raw energy, spontaneity and unique quality of their performances… You will hear infectious heavy rock grooves and adrenaline fuelled metal carnage explode into a jazz progression and a mind blowing guitar solo; they draw their influences from all the music they hear, whether it be blues, reggae, soul, metal…yet they don’t aim to sound like anyone else. Fusion and originality are what Silas are all about!

LORDAERON
METAL 2 THE MASSES WINNERS – DERBY
Lordaeron's sound is the product of influence from all aspects of music though there sound is somewhere inbetween Nile, The Faceless, Meshuggah, Origin, and Cattle Decapitation. The first self release entitled ‘So It Begins…’ 2006 (with sequenced drums as opposed to live drum recording) saw them setting the bar for speed, brutality and all out epic ness of the blackest kind. With much underground acclaim, the legion was born. Currently, the future looks notably vile and promising. Their debut album ‘Sacrosanct’ will be released via Union Black Records and contains re-workings of a handful of tracks from "...So It Begins." as well as a number of new tracks.
Lordaeron are very pleased to be joining the ranks at this years BOA along with some of the biggest names in Death Metal, and promise a fine display of brutality and captivating aggression, held solid by an insane rhythm section, face-melting shred/chug/sweep and a venom!!

UNDER BLACKENED SKIES
METAL 2 THE MASSES WINNERS – LEICESTER
Born from the loin of the birthplace of metal, five Birmingham metallers came together and created a musical storm, enough to raise merry hell and judgement day itself... all whilst having a laugh and not taking themselves 'too' seriously... this is Under Blackened Skies. 2008, the last two members of the line up were determined, completing a five piece band who's extreme musical influences create an exciting explosion of metal that, combined with an electrifying and captivating live performance, has seen the reputation of UBS rapidly rise as a serious band of the future. Under Blackened Skies aim to break your soul with their brutality then fix it with their unique melodies, whilst entertaining you at the same time. Is that fucking possible? Now it is.

With a line-up boasting headline appearances from CHILDREN OF BODOM, FEAR FACTORY, TWISTED SISTER, plus a special guest slot filled by MESHUGGAH, BLOODSTOCK can now confirm the final headline slot for BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2010. The Friday night will be closed by Swedish Prog-Metal superstars OPETH, who headlined back in 2008.

"We're pretty excited about coming back to play the Bloodstock festival with Opeth.” States frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt “Myself and Axe will of course be double-fisting since we gonna cause some havoc with Bloodbath as well. We got asked to play since Heaven & Hell cancelled and even though we obviously feel that we cannot possibly match their magic or fill the void, it will be a like a personal tribute show to the memory of Ronnie Dio. So needless to say I'm honoured to play, it will be intimidating and emotional I believe. We'll deliver as usual of course but yeah, I will be thinking about Dio, that's for sure."

Since 1990, OPETH have dazzled audiences with their unique blend of death metal, prog and folk, earning a diverse fanbase through the use of both electric and acoustic guitars, and clean and growled vocals. Their 2008 headline slot earned the band rave reviews across the music press, for a performance that had the assembled mass of metalheads captivated with their intricate, beautifully executed compositions. With special guests MESHUGGAH preceding OPETH’s headline slot, we look forward to an awesome close to the first full day of BOA 2010 on Friday 13th August.

BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR has announced a further two additions to it’s 2010 line up.

German metallers POWERWOLF will headline the SOPHIE LANCASTER stage on Friday 13th August. The Teutonic terrors look forward to their debut UK appearance at BLOODSTOCK’s 10th anniversary event.

"It's a big honour for us to celebrate the metal mass at this legendary festival" comments guitarist Matthew Greywolf. "This will be our first time in the UK, and getting the chance to perform at the country's biggest Metal festival is incredible. We can't wait to unleash mayhem there!"

Since 2003, the Metal Blade signed five piece have amassed a large and loyal fanbase with their highly entertaining live show, led by ATTILA DORN, half frontman, half evil minister. With a reputation across Europe as one of the most exciting bands out there, and BLOODSTOCK’s reputation for bringing the hottest new bands in metal to the UK for the first time, their addition to this year’s line up with this exclusive appearance is a no brainer, and we look forward to their Satanic Sermon on Friday 13th August 2010.

Joining them will be British Thrash maniacs HOSPITAL OF DEATH. Originally formed in 1994 to play a one-off show, the band rediscovered their love of old school thrash at a 2006 reunion, and have kept thrashing ever since, with fun-filled songs such as “Transformers”, “Let’s Go Apeshit” and “Stairway To Hell”.

Look out for the final BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2010 headliner announcement on Tuesday 15th June.
