Waylander Confirmed

[Bloodstock]

The first band confirmed for 2003 is Waylander from Ireland.

Keeping with the Celtic theme with the past 2 festivals, Waylander will appeal to all those into Return to the Sabbat, Primordial, Skyclad and Elvenking !

Plus, these guys have been very patient in wanting to do the festival since 2001 !, AND were on standby this year should Elvenking have not appeared! So who better to welcome than:

WAYLANDER!

Good Stuff! I'll have to get one of their cds now - Any recommendations anyone?

 

[Astarmain]

As an Irish person I have to say get all of them

But I really like Reawakening Pride Once Lost. Haven't listened to the new CD enough. Will be seeing them in about a month at the Glenside Metal Meeting in Ireland so I'll let ya know what the new stuff sounds like.

 

[Folklore]

wonderful band!! and talking about celtic metal, how about Cruachan then? any chance they`ll join the party?

 

[Eagle]

I've just checked out some brief soundclips and now I'm looking forward to seeing them. They're don't have my favourite vocal style but musically they seem very skilled and I'm sure they'll be well received next year

 

[Astarmain]

Not sure about Cruachan. I left their last gig after about 5 songs because they weren't doing the whole metal thing. Admitidly they had to play after Waylander so that made it a bit hard ....

Anyone in Ireland, get down to the Glenside Metal Meeting in Killeshin, Co. Carlow on 26th Oct... 12 bands on 2 stages, with Waylander, Cruachan, Primordial, Mourning Beloveth, Old Season, Carnún Rising, Hexxed, Honey for Christ, The Swarm, Primal Dawn, Diphtheria and Kingdom (their last ever gig!)... buses are going from Dublin, Belfast, Galway, Cork, Tullamore, Drogheda... contact glensidemetalmeeting@hotmail.com for more info...

 

[Ian 'E' Edwards]

I've downloaded a one minute long sound clip from their website and they sound pretty cool, heavy and folky! I think I'll like them when they play live, but the tune in the sample I heard seemed a bit repetitive... but that probably will not matter on the day as I'll be pissed and jigging away!

 

[Fergus Maximus]

Greetings. I'm Fearghal, one of the guitarists in Waylander. We're really looking forward to sharing our music with the Bloodstock crowd.
We are currently putting together material for the new album which should see a summer release,definitely before Bloodstock03.

Fergus, I used to run a webzine called Attitude and I came to see and interview you guys in Glasgow on your first trip over to the mainland. Spoke to Michael and Ciaran I think. You guys were cool and shared your Bucky with me. Hope you guys are all doing well.

 

[Fergus Maximus]

I wasn't in the band then. However Ciaran and Michael are still fond of the odd tipple of Buckfast. If you're at Bloodstock I'm sure they'll share more with ya!!

 

[jedifart]

Hey, boosy, Mairtin/Fart (ex-Waylander whistler) here... I remember you from that drunken night in Glasgow

 

[boosy]

Good morning sir, hope you are doing well! A good time was had by all I think.

 

[CraigSmith]

Having read reviews of Waylander, and being a fan of Elvenking and Primordial, and I'm sure I'd be a fan of Skyclad if I could just get round to buying some of their stuff, I've decided getting an album of theirs would be a good move.

So, I decided on that one, Reawakening Pride Once Lost, but I can't find anywhere to buy it! None of my usual stockists seem to have it, so can anyone tell me where I may be able to get my hands on a copy?

 

[Eagle]

try http://www.amazon.de I get about 80% of my music from here

The only chance of getting Reawakening Pride Once Lost is to contact Century Media directly, the German office would be best.

The second album The Light, the Dark and the Endless Knot, is available from PHD, and is in places like hmv.
