Sanctuary, The Black Dahlia Murder & Grand Magus Confirmed For Bloodstock 2012

Reformed Seattle Thrash heroes Sanctuary will make their first UK appearance in over 20 years at Bloodstock this summer. Featuring frontman Warrel Dane and bassist Jim Sheppard, Sanctuary rose to fame in the late 1980’s after releasing their debut album 'Refuge Denied'. Two years after releasing their second album, 'The Mirror Black', the four piece disbanded, with Dane and Sheppard going on to form Nevermore.

However, Sanctuary are back! After a huge hiatus they're ready to return to the UK for their only show of 2012. Says Frontman Warrel Dane:

“Really psyched to play Bloodstock 2012. It’s the band’s first time back in the UK in over 20 years and we are honored to be invited to one of the greatest summer festivals in the world. We can’t wait to thrash it up with our fans! See you in August 2012.”

Joining them with be Michigan metallers The Black Dahlia Murder and Swedish metal merchants Grand Magus.
 
The Black Dahlia Murder has crammed quite a bit into its 10 years together - five albums, three EPs and a DVD (2009's 'Majesty'). The Detroit quintet has made a career out of being unpredictable, unhinged, unclassifiable and unrepentant, all in the best possible ways of course. Says frontman Trevor Strnad:
 
“We are excited to bring our brand of drunken mayhem to Bloodstock in 2012!!!  Prepare for the most epic circle pit of your mortal lives!!!” 

As if that wasn't enough, Grand Magus bring their trademark sound for their only UK festival appearance of 2012, melding traditional riffs and melodies that rock in the same league as Judas Priest and Dio.
 
Bloodstock Open Air 2012 takes place at Catton Hall August 9th - 12th. With four day camping tickets on sale for just £90 (plus booking fee) until December 16th - a Massive saving of £25! For more details on Bloodstock, check out www.bloodstock.uk.com.
