Since the release of their highly acclaimed album 'The Human Contradiction' in 2014 on Napalm Records, Delain have been constantly touring all over the world and shared the stages with arena acts such as Nightwish, Within Temptation and Sabaton. Delain ended 2015 headlining and conquering stages in sold out venues all over the world. 

In between heavily touring, Delain found the time to release a new EP titled 'Lunar Prelude' (February 2016, Napalm Records), which includes two brand new tracks, exciting live cuts, mastered by Grammy Award winning Ted Jensen, 'Lunar Prelude' leaves the listener with a hunger for more, but shortens the wait for the next full length album from Delain which is set for release summer 2016!!!

Less than four months to go and Bloodstock HQ is a hive of activity!  With the ‘Metal 2 The Masses’ heats well under way and finals scheduled to kick off in May, the booking team are racking up more and more bands for the UK’s best metal weekender this August!

Brit death metallers, Vallenfyre step into a main stage slot on Saturday. The band recently tore up the stage on the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise in Florida, so check out what’s in store via this fan-filmed footage of the band steaming through ‘Savages Arise’ - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9Z0Mb7FxqE.  Warm up your necks for August!


Progressive tech metal group, Brutai are set for a Sophie Lancaster stage slot on Friday. The hotly tipped band are set to release their debut album this summer, so be sure to catch ‘em on the Sophie stage to hear the new material. Get the gist on their sound via the video for ‘Deep’ here - https://youtu.be/zrYnWehkSCQ.

Also joining Friday’s Sophie bill are female-fronted Dutch metallers The Charm The Fury. The band’s new album, due Autumn 2016, is said to be influenced by Pantera and Slipknot. No strangers to the Euro festival circuit, here’s hoping for a taste of the new tunes at Bloodstock !  Meanwhile, watch the video for ‘Colorblind’ from their last album at: https://youtu.be/Ri5qMMonxrE.

Extreme tech beasts, Meta-Statis also join Friday’s Sophie ranks. Following the band’s recent tour of India that saw them play to festival crowds of 25,000, Meta-Statis are back in the studio working on their third album. The masked Anon describes it as "throwing out the rule book, cutting edge, boundary redefining electronic death metal".  Check out their video for ‘Disintegrate’ taken from the 2015 album, ‘The Paradox of Metanoia‘ here - https://youtu.be/6GyxpOxtYGQ.
