ONSLAUGHT Confirmed For UK's Bloodstock Open Air
February 23, 2010, 14 years ago
Legendary British thrashers ONSLAUGHT have confirmed that their first ever UK festival appearance will take place at the 10th anniversary of the Bloodstock Open Air which will take place at Catton Hall in Derbyshire, UK from August 13th – 15th.
Joining them will be Metal 2 The Masses winners SNAKEBITE. The four piece heavy metal band from South-East London won over Bloodstock’s M2TM judges with their heart-stopping cocktail of classic rock groove, hell-for-leather thrash and a seemingly endless torrent of gargantuan riffs, earning them a slot on the bill of this prestigious festival.
“Metal 2 The Masses has been the ultimate experience for us” says the band. “To be sitting here now, knowing that we're set to play the Wacken alongside having played (and about to play AGAIN) the only true Metal Festival in England just doesn’t feel real! We appreciate this opportunity loads, and want to work our balls off to make the effects of all this last, as this is the easily the best chance an unsigned band could ever be given.”States founding member and drummer Steve Grice: “We are very excited and to be playing Bloodstock 2010. Not only will it be the ONLY UK show Onslaught play this year, but the very first outdoor show we have played in the UK. We look forward to bringing some real Flesh Melting -Thrash Metal to the Guys and Gals of Bloodstock. See you all there!”
The band lineup for the festival so far: HEAVEN & HELL, CHILDREN OF BODOM, FEAR FACTORY, TWISTED SISTER, OBITUARY, ROSS THE BOSS, RAGE, ANDROMEDA, BEHEMOTH, DEVIN TOWNSEND, DORO, LEAVES EYES, SUFFOCATION, CANNIBAL CORPSE, KORPIKLAANI, GWAR, AMORPHIS, GOJIRA, SONATA ARCTICA, GORGOROTH, BLOODBATH, BLACK SPIDERS, EDGUY, ENSIFERUM, ONSLAUGHT, SNAKEBITE.
