FESTIVAL REVIEW: Bloodstock Open Air Part 2 – Live at Catton Hall


 

SATURDAY:

After I visit the bust of Lemmy in the RAM Gallery, Brazilian death metallers Crypta are in full flow on the main stage, tearing through the likes of Lift the Blindfold” and “From the Ashes”, casually stripping away any vestiges of third-day fatigue. And if that wasn’t the perfect wake-up call, then there”s always Bay Area thrashers Forbidden who blast through the likes of “Forbidden Evil,” “Twisted Into Form,” and “Step By Step” aided by summer recruit Dan “Chewy” Mongrain of Voivod. A great show, although a time overrun means we are deprived of the classic “Chalice of Blood.”Continue reading

can corpse europe admat with kisium

Cannibal Corpse has booked a European tour with Krisiun and Hideous Divinity as support acts. Cannibal Corpse is still supporting their 2014 release A Skeletal Domain, which was released on Metal Blade.

Alex Webster commented on the tour:

“We’re psyched to be heading back to Europe for the final leg of the “A Skeletal Domain” tour with such a crushing lineup of bands. Everyone knows the level of brutality our friends Krisiun can deliver, and they’ll soon see what Hideous Divinity are capable of, too. We can’t wait to get this 3-band death metal bulldozer rolling- Europe, be ready!”
