Tuesday, 28 January 2014
Written by Jon Stickler
Bloodstock have announced their three headliners for the Sophie Lancaster Big Top stage.
Friday’s Sophie stage headliners are Greek extreme metal overlords Rotting Christ. Rotting Christ were one of the first black metal bands in the region, forming back in 1987 and going on to create the genre’s Greek signature sound of the 90’s. The band are touring Japan and Thailand in early 2014, and are looking forward to headlining the Sophie stage at Bloodstock, commenting:
“Proudly on the roster of one of Bloodiest festivals around! It will be an honour to perform for our English Metal brothers. Until then… KEEP THE TRUE METAL SPIRIT ALIVE!”
Swedish metalheads Sister Sin, led by the feisty Liv Jagrell, close out the Sophie stage on Saturday. The Gothenburg based band will be blasting out tunes from their best-selling third album, ‘Now And Forever’, which debuted on the Swedish album charts at #6, and have been honing their live chops touring with road dogs Motorhead, Otep, and Arch Enemy, among others.
Bloodstock will also welcome Sunday Sophie headliners, the reunited classic NWOBHM shredders, Satan. Be sure to check out their latest Listenable Records album ‘Life Sentence’. It’s been 26 years since their last release!
Bloodstock 2014 is shaping up to be the biggest and best yet. Friday night’s headliners are New Orleans sludgemeisters, Down. Joining them to head up Saturday night are black metal overlords, Emperor and closing out proceedings on Sunday are thrash legends, Megadeth. Also announced so far are Amon Amarth, Obituary, Crowbar, Hatebreed, Lacuna Coil, Carcass, Prong, Children Of Bodom, Saxon, Decapitated, Flotsam & Jetsam, Primordial and Evil Scarecrow. More bands to be announced shortly.
