The UK's Most Dedicated Metal Blog
Announcing their co-headline jaunt together Opeth and Gojira will be joined by none other than The Devin Townsend Project, Russian Circles, Eagles of Death Metal and a little band called Mastodon. Welcome to Eagles of Russian Devin Mastojirapeth!
With a Halloween themed update.
The time has come, Mastodon are in the studio!
After the absolutely phenomenal first day’s proceedings the bar was set incredibly high for Saturday. As the crowd thankfully weren’t needed to evacuate their slowly sinking tents owing to the constant beam of beautiful sunshine, save for that terrifying moment when we all woke up and heard rain, the ground had stayed firm. Walking / stumbling / running into the main stage area we were greeted with the roar of approval brought forth from the English take on Death ‘n’ Roll that is Vallenfyre.
Ah the days of summer, the ability to be confident that leaving the house with a (black) t-shirt is a good idea, the (black) ice creams shared and of course the abundance of (black?) sunshine. Though nothing says Summer quite like Bloodstock, attending our first ever festival last year we are incredibly excited to be getting back to real matters here. Knocking together a truly phenomenal line up this year we’ve got full performances of The Satanist, last ever performances, Space age Thrash and Mastodon to enjoy. We’ve picked ten out of the plethora of bands that will get any Metalhead moshing for good reason. Come with us through the rabbit hole and check out the ten bands that we think are unmissable at this year’s Bloodstock 2016!
The wheels have been set in motion for the brand new Mastodon album and it’s going to be a big one.
Deciding to try and give back to their community whilst also venturing into new and exciting times, not only will Mastodon be known for their all out Prog wizardry but will now be running a rehearsal studio in Atlanta.
If Twisted Sister and Mastodon wasn’t enough for you there are more bands being announced for this coming year’s Bloodstock.
