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-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.

Satyricon-Aug-2008-1.jpg


The Bloodstock team are pleased to announce that Norwegian Black Metal Band ‘Satyricon’ have been added to the bill for 2009.
Satyricon was formed in 1990 by Czral (Carl-Michael Eide) and Wargod. Haavard (Ulver) soon joined them. Satyr took over lead vocals in 1991.

The band credits their first album, Dark Medieval Times, with starting a black metal subgenre that they dubbed "medieval metal". The album showed off the fascination Satyricon had with the Middle Ages, along with raw black metal blastbeats produced by Frost, mixed with acoustic guitar and flute. On their next album, The Shadowthrone, this medieval spirit was continued. Satyricon’s third album, Nemesis Divina, contains Norwegian black metal influenced by medieval metal and was released in 1996. Rebel Extravaganza, Satyricon’s fourth album, was released in 1999. It contained more industrial metal influences then the previous albums.

Regarding one of their latest albums, Volcano, frontman Satyr stated in a press release / biography on their homepage that "the music is rock based but more extreme; it is black metal pushing the boundaries that began with bands like Venom and Bathory, reinventing ourselves based on a foundation of rock oriented black metal is our philosophy." It resulted in a total of 4 Awards for Volcano being, the Norwegian Grammy for "Best Metal Album", an Alarm award for "Fuel For Hatred" in the category for "Song of the Year", as well as The Alarm Award for "Metal Album of the Year" and The Oslo awards for "Best Overall Album".

Amon-Amarth-Bloodstock-News.jpg


AMON AMARTH UK FESTIVAL EXCLUSIVE FOR 2009 !!
The Bloodstock team are pleased to announce that Viking metallers AMON AMARTH have been added to the bill for BOA 2009.

Amon Amarth were formed in Stockholm in 1992, issuing several demos during the next few years which eventually led to a deal with Pulverised Records who released the mini-album Sorrow Throughout the Nine Worlds in 1996. Metal Blade were suitably impressed with the band’s epic death metal and promptly signed them on a long term contract. Their first full-length album Once Sent From The Golden Hall appeared in 1998 and saw the band embark on an album-tour-album cycle which laid the foundations for a wider international profile. Both The Avenger (1999) and The Crusher (2001) built on the success of Once Sent From The Golden Hall, with relentless touring taking the band’s increasingly impressive live show to bigger and bigger audiences.

2002’s Versus The World and 2004’s Fate Of Norns saw the band break through to the next level, extensive worldwide touring, a triumphant show at Wacken ’04 and a legendary performance at Bloodstock indoor in 2005 capping a highly successful period. Following Fate Of Norns was never going to be easy, but 2006’s With Oden On Our Side did just that with consummate ease. Clearly the band’s most carefully crafted album to date, it saw them tour worldwide yet again and begin to win support from the wider metal community. Their current album Twilight Of The Thunder God has continued their global rise, charted impressively all over the world and seen them raid UK shores once more as part of the recent Unholy Alliance tour. Expect tattered banners and bloody flags when they return to Bloodstock…

The Bloodstock team are delighted to announce that British metal legends SAXON have been added to the bill for BOA 2009.

Saxon were formed in South Yorkshire in 1977 from the ashes of two other local outfits, SOB featuring guitarist Graham Oliver and bassist Steve Dawson, and Coast, featuring vocalist Biff Byford and guitarist Paul Quinn. The band briefly operated under the moniker Son Of A Bitch before renaming themselves Saxon.

The group busied themselves recording demos and playing the club circuit which eventually brought them to the attention of Pete Hinton at EMI who subsequently recommended them to French label Carrere. The band’s self-titled debut album emerged in 1979 at the height of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), a popular grassroots movement which Saxon have been synonymous with ever since. Something of a pot-boiler, the album was a modest success, although it lead to a support slot on Motorhead’s ’79 UK tour, which opened many more doors for the band. The follow up, 1980’s Wheels Of Steel, however, was a monster hit, cracking the UK top five and spawning two chart singles, both of which saw the band appear on Top Of The Pops. It started a phenomenal run of success with Strong Arm Of The Law (1980), Denim And Leather (1981), The Eagle Has Landed (1982), Power And The Glory (1983) and Crusader (1984) all charting worldwide and heralding increasingly extensive headline tours.

1985’s Innocence Is No Excuse introduced a slick new sound disliked by some of the band’s hardcore following, and although the following year’s heavier Rock The Nations redressed the balance again, the band were shaken by the departure of Steve Dawson. Coupled with the shifting musical climate, the change saw Saxon enter a period of uncertainty which was reflected in 1988’s patchy Destiny. Having recruited young bassist Tim 'Nibbs' Carter, the band began a slow fight back with 1990’s weighty Solid Ball Of Rock and ‘92’s Forever Free, but it wasn’t until 1995 and the release of Dogs Of War that a true Saxon revival took hold. Graham Oliver was replaced by Doug Scarrat at this point and since then the band have never looked back. Unleash The Beast (1997), Metalhead (1999), Killing Ground (2001), Lionheart (2004) and The Inner Sanctum (2007) have all stayed true to the classic Saxon sound whilst keeping the band sounding fresh and invigorated. Their latest epic Into The Labyrinth is expected early next year.

As one of the ultimate good-time live acts, Saxon’s return to Bloodstock will get fists pumping and heads banging like no other band can.

PAUL RAYMOND GREGORY

PAUL DESIGNED SAXON’S LATEST ALBUM ARTWORK
‘INTO THE LABYRINTH’

saxon-2.jpg


Also, did you know that our very own Bloodstock Founder Paul Raymond Gregory was introduced to the world of Heavy Metal when he had the good fortune to make the acquaintance of the Band 'Saxon' and their indomitable singer Biff Byford. He was commissioned to do the artwork for the album and the stage designs, the album was 'Crusader', now a classic in the annals of rock. Paul has painted 11 albums to date for the band and developed a great friendship with Biff and the boys.

Paul says “It was in the last century that I produced my first album cover, not only for Saxon but many other bands. ‘Saxon’ have been steadfast friends over the years and my artistic collaboration with the indomitable Biff Byford has always been to the point, a quality I like and sadly lacking nowadays.

I have a lot of respect for ‘Saxon’ the band and love their music. So when I was asked to do the artwork for their latest creation I was as always delighted to oblige.”
