Metal Karaoke Bloodstock Open Air
Posted by Jennifer Coleman in Bloodstock News at 16:22 on Thursday, 07 Aug 2008
Yes, the wonderful wonderful sound of cats screeching, nails being dragged down blackboards and foghorns warning ships of impending disaster will all be heard as the 4 DJs of The Apocalypse return to host Bloodstock's legendary karoake sessions on the Lava Stage in the Guitar Hero 3 Marquee. Each night from around 11.30pm, Death will again be running proceedings ably assisted by Famine, War and Pestilence (just the elements you need at a Festival) as we bring you the cream ready for you to sour with your wailings of distress or tuneful passionate singing as some called it. In 2007 Schlumpy was the face of our karaoke and he's back - bigger and sillier ready to orchestrate the crowd to give his verdict on each and every one of you. So, wailings of distress it is then.

We've just about pulled together all the bands for the Bloodstock Unsigned Stage and the Lava Stage - with some competitions nearing completition - (gigs in Kent and Essex this weekend) and a couple of media based comps still to advise, we thought we'd give you a sneak preview of who's been confirmed already. Full press releases to come and slot times/ days/ stages to be advised over the next few days so check back into the website for updates. Lee and I dovetail the sets to ensure that any clash with similar type bands on other stages is kept to a minimum - this maintains higher attendance for each performance - which is what every band and fan want.

Metal 2 The Masses The Winners
Posted by Jennifer Coleman in Bloodstock News at 09:44 on Monday, 07 Jul 2008
Bloodstock's Webmaster has come out of his darkened room after forgoing the need to eat, sleep and more interesting pastimes as he has slaved through and cross referenced EVERY vote cast in the Metal 2 The Masses competition. What would have taken a mere mortal until the 2012 Olympics to establish, our Virtual Voting Vanquisher has removed all the dodgy ones and at last can publish the results. As there are always more losers than winners, this has been a thankless task (but thanks anyway) and for those of you who feel tired, emotional or aggrieved at the outcome...............there's always 2009.
