epic metal

Last October, Armored Saint released their eighth full-length, “Punching the Sky”, via Metal Blade Records.

Today, the band has announced their first tour dates in support of this record: a short run of shows with Black Label Society and Prong in December 2021!
 

Bloodstock is excited to announce that weekend tickets to this Summer’s festival are now SOLD OUT! A limited number of one day tickets are still available for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with the latter day’s availability now very limited, so move fast if you wanna see Judas Priest! Anyone missing the boat or wanting to sell their ticket due to changing circumstances, can check here for official re-sales.

There’s just 41 days to Bloodstock 2021! We’re counting down the hours before Catton Park opens the gates to the biggest - and longest, at 5 days - metal party of the year!  
 
First we have some bad, but also, good news! A few more international bands are experiencing issues with travel and logistics and have had to cancel, but we’ve secured some fantastic replacements from UK shores. 
 

While we all wait patiently for the final lockdown restrictions to be eased, Bloodstock HQ remains busier than ever finalising details for this year’s event. We know everyone is more than ready for a hellaciously good time with their friends in the sunshine and tickets are moving fast now, don’t miss your chance to grab yours before you can't!

Warkings Warriors beware! The mighty kings return to the battlefield, armed with glorious weapons made of pure Heavy Metal - the time for “Revolution” has come! The third part of the Warkings saga will be unleashed on August 20th, 2021, via Napalm Records, so sharpen your weapons and join the Warkings “Revolution”!

Are you getting excited to be at Bloodstock in just 10 weeks time? Started planning which bands are on your “must-see” list yet? Here’s twelve more bands for you to consider, added to Thursday’s line-up on the New Blood stage, chosen from online submissions. The remaining days bands on that stage will be chosen from the winners of 2021’s Metal 2 The Masses finals, set to happen in July. 
 

There’s just 85 days left before Bloodstock and more bands are locking in for 2021!
 

With the weather slowly warming up, we’re counting down the days to Bloodstock. There’s a veritable feast of new bands to get your ears around before August - some you may know, some you may not (yet), but one thing is for sure - they’re all determined to help make this year’s Bloodstock the absolute best fun you’ve had in over a year. 

Parody Metal aficionados Nanowar Of Steel previously made waves by retiring from metal and transforming into a pop boygroup. Now they are ready to officially announce their comeback of their beloved comedy infused parody metal, releasing their new single and video for “Der Fluch des Kapt’n Iglo” (engl. “The Curse of Captain Birdeye”) today!
