Bloodstock doesn’t sound like the place where any normal person would like to spend their weekend, but for the more interesting souls, these four days form the basis of the premium heavy metal in the UK. If you like fully grown men bumming each other over and over in the middle of a field in full view of everybody, Bloodstock is the place for you. We caught a bunch of bands performing across the weekend, and this is what we thought of them:
Tags: Alcest, Alice Cooper, Anaal Nathrakh, Anvil, Behemoth, Bloodshot Dawn, Bloodstock, Chthonic, Corrosion Of Conformity, Crowbar, Dripback, Eastern Front, Evile, Flayed Disciple, Freedom Call, Grand Magus, Hatebreed, Kataleptic, Kobra & The Lotus, Machine Head, Malefice, Mayhem, Moonsorrow, Nile, Paradise Lost, Saturnian, Sepultura, Testament, The Black Dahlia Murder, Viking Skull, Winterfylleth

Note: As only two members of the site were able to review the festival weekend, we were sadly unable to cover every band performing throughout the festival.
Reaching the 10th anniversary of this festival, it has come a long way from its humble beginnings at the Derby Assembly Rooms as a one day event. Being the only underground metal festival in England, it has earned an infamy on par with the metal bands it has playing. Day two of this year’s Bloodstock brings yet more metal to the people.

In the UK, Bloodstock Open Air Festival in Derby is the festival you have to go to if you want a weekend full of relentless heavy metal, and the 2011 line-up maintains the high quality that the festival has always been known to uphold. Halfway into the festival, bands such as Immortal and Finntroll had their turn to grace us with their presence, and it was good.
Featuring: Skeleton Witch, Grave Digger, Dripback, Finntroll, Def Con One, Wintersun, Therion, Rhapsody Of Fire and Immortal.

Two more bands, Hell and Dripback, have just joined the line-up for this year’s Bloodstock Festival. On top of this, the annual metal festival have also revealed a fancy dress theme. The Friday date of the festival marks Vincent Price‘s 100th birthday, so the promoters are asking fans to come as their favourite morbid and horrible monsters. Whether it be Dracula, Frankenstein or even something more simple like the Mummy or Invisible man, there’s many possibilites.
