I think one of my friends wants me to go for the road trip/get wasted thing, cause the lineup bores me shitless already and I wouldn't go otherwise.

 

[Luce]

do you know in which part of england is it exactly? so if tehre are other interesting band i can try to came here this year!

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

Its in Derby, but I wouldn't bother cause England is shit. I can't imagine the lineup suddenly becoming amazing. hate the fucking thing

 

[Luce]

yes ? so sad...i don't know 'cuz i have ever wanted to make a trip through england and it could be a nic idea..but was only a thought anyway thank you so much

 

[Bellini]

London can be very nice in the summer, maybe you could combine a vacation with a trip to London (about 2 hours away).

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

No shit festivals in London.


No festivals in London period, actually. Well not metal ones anyway.

DO make a trip through England, seriously. I've been on small tours with my brother's former band through the UK a few times and I've always loved it there. Made other short trips there as well, beautiful country and the Brits are simply super cool folks! London is a fucking amazing city as well, I always love to go there.

UK EXCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE FOR 2009

The Bloodstock team are delighted to announce that Swedish goth metallers KATATONIA have been added to the bill for BOA 2009.

Katatonia were formed in Stockholm in 1991 by Jonas Renkse and Anders ‘Blakkheim’ Nyström and started life as a hybrid doom/death metal crossover before gradually shifting to a more mainstream atmospheric gothic/alternative rock sound, a move which began in earnest on their third album Discouraged Ones.

Having made a name for themselves on the underground with their Jhva Elohim Meth demo, the band released their debut album Dance Of December Souls on No Fashion records in 1993. A period of line-up instability threatened the future of the band and it would not be until 1996 that their sophomore effort Brave Murder Day eventually appeared. Featuring guest vocals from Opeth’s Mikael Åkerfeldt, the album marked a further development in their sound and, like their debut, was a critically acclaimed success. Renkse was back on vocals for Discouraged Ones, adopting a clean singing style which, although a risky gamble, proved to be a major turning point and helped them reach a much wider audience.

At this point, the band signed a long term deal with UK label Peaceville and began a run of releases building on their signature style and culminating in 2006’s The Great Cold Distance, their most dynamic work to date. Their eighth, as-yet-untitled studio album is expected later this year.

I will be there again for definite.

I am not a veteran of the festival, but did make it there this year.

Think Wacken (which I have been to several times), but much smaller. I think there is some affiliation with the WOA organisers too.

It was my favourite festival of this year (yes, better than Wacken in my opinion). I decided on going again next year without knowing any of the lineup...
