No worries at all, I would like to see Dragonforce at some point.

I had a really bad ID experiance a few weeks ago, I'm 21 and the cashier said 'we won't need to see your ID your clearly over 21' (or words to that effect)...
So I'm a haggard looking 21 year old. :erk:

DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER CONFIRMED FOR BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2009!

The Bloodstock team are pleased to announce that German metallers DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER have been added to the bill for BOA 2009.

Die Apokalyptischen Reiter (Horsemen Of The Apocalypse) were formed in Apolda, Germany in 1995. Although the band’s basic style is rooted in death and thrash metal, they often experiment with other genres and regularly inject humour into their music. Their debut album Soft And Stronger appeared in 1997 on small independent label Ars Metalli, and the band played their first big show at 1998’s Fuck The Commerce Open Air. Their second album Allegro Barbaro followed in 1999 and led to a deal with Hammerheart Records and their first appearance at the legendary Wacken festival.

2000’s All You Need Is Love marked something of a breakthrough and the band subsequently signed with Nuclear Blast for 2003’s Have A Nice Trip and the following year’s Samurai which saw them embark on a major tour with Turisas and perform at numerous summer festivals. It was to be 2006’s Riders On The Storm, however, which really began to boost their profile beyond Germany and a fairly limited European touring circuit. Prolific gigging broke the band in fresh territories and yielded material for their second live DVD Tobsucht before they once again hit the studio to record their latest outing Licht. The band are currently touring the new album throughout Europe.

CANDLEMASS CONFIRMED FOR BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2009!

candlemass-2.jpg


The Bloodstock team are pleased to announce that Swedish doom titans CANDLEMASS have been added to the bill for BOA 2009.

Candlemass were formed in Stockholm in 1985 by bassist and songwriter Leif Edling. The band’s first album Epicus Doomicus Metallicus appeared the following year and immediately established them in underground circles. However, it was to be their second and some say greatest album, 1987’s Nightfall, which would bring them international recognition. Nightfall’s fusion of Black Sabbath-style riffs and epic orchestral atmospheres met with rave reviews worldwide and in vocalist Messiah Marcolin – who took over from Johan Längqvist – Candlemass had a frontman of great presence and a highly memorable voice.

Marcolin fronted the band during their most successful years, departing in 1990 following the release of Ancient Dreams, Tales Of Creation and Live. 1992’s Chapter VI – featuring Thomas Vikström on vocals – was a relative failure and the band split soon afterwards. A version of Candlemass featuring Edling and a series of session musicians recorded Dactylis Glomerata and From The 13th Sun in ’98 and ’99 but although both bore the Candlemass name, the music was only partly in the vein of the band’s signature sound.

The popular 1980s line-up including Messiah Marcolin finally reunited in 2002 for a tour that was so well-received that it resulted in the band releasing a live album and heading into the studio to record 2005’s Candlemass, a full-on return to their original style. Unfortunately, internal tensions once again led to the departure of Marcolin who was replaced by Rob Lowe of US doom metallers Solitude Aeturnus in a surprising but successful move. 2007’s King Of The Grey Islands proved the strength of the latest line-up who have just issued an EP entitled Lucifer Rising. A new full-length album is expected next year.

Heavier than a woolly mammoth and twice as ugly, Candlemass’ Bloodstock debut will be a crushing doomfeast like no other!

Roc soc costs £25 (works out about £28 by the time you've included postage and charges)
 
I don't trust those roc-soc members...Joho came back to camp (drunk) and convinced us Tobias (Edguy) was back stage.
Still, Epic Camp of Maddie will be fun.

Here's my promise to Katie
I, The Mika, promise not to help or attempt to help Katie erect her tent, intoxicated or otherwise
