Band Line Up 2014

"After 4 years since our first appearance on the New Blood Stage as a relatively new band we are extremely honoured to return once again to Bloodstock on the Sophie Lancaster Stage. We have been waiting for our return for some time and we simply cannot wait to unleash our brand of folk inspired black metal to the festival audience in what promises to be our biggest gig to date. See you there!"

Hailing from the grim north east of England, Old Corpse Road have come a long way since their formation in 2007. Creating dynamic black metal based on the dark folklore of Britain they quickly made a name for themselves in the underground scene. After an acclaimed demo and a split with The Meads of Asphodel they released their debut album ‘Tis Witching Hour…As Spectres We Haunt this Kingdom’ in 2012, which received critical acclaim from Metal Hammer, Zero Tolerance and Terrorizer as well as topping the Best Newcomer category in the 2012 Terrorizer Readers' Poll. After their recent split 7" with black metal band The Infernal Sea, they are currently working on the anticipated full-length follow-up to their debut album.

Throughout this time Old Corpse Road have built up a reputation with their intense and atmospheric live performances across the UK. The band have shared the stage with the likes of Shining, Alcest, Hecate Enthroned, Winterfylleth and Wodensthrone. Their return to Bloodstock follows their storming performance in 2010 on the New Blood Stage.
