The only ones that make me perk up is Discharge and Eyehategod. The rest... I either don't know them or not really fussed. I just listened to Sleep Token and a little confused. What the billy goat's gruff? Soen, also not seeing the buzz about them. Both seemed a little yawnfest. Guess I'll go have s...

It was a bit hellfest all over again. Luckily I got mine when they first went on sale but there's a lot of very disappointed people around.

American Black Metal anyone? I got really into this band recently. The video is typical black metal. Guy wakes up on a beach face down in water, looks a bit chilly and some goat dude looks annoyed that he's ruining his swimming lesson. He gets tired of being wet and sandy so goes off to a forest and...

I don't know if anyone noticed but ...And Oceans are back! A quality slice of Finnish blackened death metal. A bit of a progression from previous efforts on Dynamic Gallery Of Thoughts and leaving the Havoc Unit orientated styles alone for a bit, the new album Cosmic World Mother is simply fantastic...

One of UK's finest synthy metal bands. They're touring soon and would make a great entry for Bloodstock!

I've not heard of these before. But that was awesome. I would totally watch!

An awesome French hardrock punk rock outfit that would be a pretty awesome party atmosphere for Bloodstock. I managed to catch a show from these guys an obscenely long time ago in France. Hugely enjoyable live and could really use a sneak peek into the UK scene! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkdAN...

I know there will be naysayers, I know there will be lamenters of it not being the original Skid Row. But this guy puts on a hell of a show.

An awesome black metal band from France! Never seen them but would love to!

A bit of gothic metal from Portugal. They have some proper bangers and never fail to put on a great live show!

NYHC's finest! Just imagine how amazing that wall of death would be? If they get booked, better get your primer of dance moves on! More information below!

They kill it every time they play the UK. A proper slice of Polish melodic death metal!

I'm not sure if they've been approached repeatedly and they have knocked back but it's worth another go!

Just grabbed some VIPs for next year.

Out of interest, the site didn't ask me about t-shirt sizes. Are they no longer in the VIP goody bag thing? Or did I miss something in my eagerness?

I thought Terrorizer was dead?

So I have a tent which did me well last year. However it looks like I goofed up and left one of my fibreglass poles and thus need a new one. The thing is, GoOutdoors sell the sections I need to make a new one as all seperates, but it comes to £50 without their silly discount card which costs a fiver...
