Bloodstock Announces Sophie Lancaster Stage Acts

The first five bands to be confirmed for BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2010’s SOPHIE LANCASTER stage has been revealed.

BENEDICTION will be returning to BOA to deliver a deadly dose of Death Metal that will shake the very foundations of Catton Hall. A leading name in the underground metal scene, BENEDICTION have been flying the flag for UK extreme metal since 1989, and are one of the most international successful Death Metal bands to come out of this country. The Legendary Brummie band look forward to coming back – says bassist Frank Healy:

Also returning to the BLOODSTOCK fold are British Doom Metallers WITCHSORROW, who impressed all in attendance during their set at a packed out UNSIGNED stage at BOA 2008. Now signed and with an album due out on Rise Above Records on 12th April, the band look forward to spreading their doom and gloom in the summer sun. States guitarist/frontman Nick Ruskell:

BLOODSTOCK is renown for being THE festival to introduce the hottest new Metal bands to the UK and this year is no exception. Joining BENEDICTION and WITCHSORROW on the SOPHIE stage – all making their debut UK Festival performances – will be Swedish speed metallers ENFORCER, hotly tipped Thrash revivalists STEELWING and Metal supergroup KILLING MACHINE, which features Evergrey/Stratvarius bassplayer Jari Kainulainen and legendary former Slayer/Testament drummer Jon Dette. States KILLING MACHINE guitarist Peter Scheithauer:

The BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR METAL FESTIVAL 2010 will take place at Catton Hall, Derbyshire from 13th – 15th August.
