Band Line Up 2014

Speaking on their latest Festival line-up addition, lead singer Gemma Fox said:

“What an honour to be part of such a fantastic lineup of metal acts! It has been a brilliant summer of gigs for the band and we can't wait to rock out with the Bloodstock masses!”

Having won the 2013 Parliamentary Rock the House Discretionary Metal Award, Collibus made history by becoming the first rock band ever to play a set in the House of Commons; had the music video for their winning track Dead Inside featured on Scuzz; and released their debut album The False Awakening all in a matter of months.

The January debut album launch was impressively followed by a quick succession of major festivals snapping up COLLIBUS onto their lineup – with major festivals including BLOODSTOCK all signing the band so far in 2014.

Five-piece, female-fronted Manchester Prog Metallers COLLIBUS have made a huge impact on the metal scene this year with the release of their stunning debut album The False Awakening. The album has been met with string of endorsements by rock legends, including Queen's Brian May:

“COLLIBUS is already a phenomenon. Scary musicianship at the most furious end of the metal spectrum, crowned with Gemma Fox's passion and power as a vocalist. Ouch. Impossible to ignore.”

Iced Earth's Luke Appleton hailed COLLIBUS' “Monstrous guitar solos, a grooving rhythm section and a vocalist that just smacks you in the face with melody!”

Alexander Milas, Metal Hammer editor, said that The False Awakening is:

“A heady dose of full-on, red-blooded British heavy metal.”
