SOPHIE, NEWBLOOD & JAGER BANDS ANNOUNCED Two more additions for the Sophie Stage are ex-Akercocke members, VOICES, who will bring their self-proclaimed ‘whirlwind of psychedelic melancholia and psychotic blast’ to the masses on Sunday. Also joining the Sophie bill are power metallers, CONQUEST OF STEEL, who are playing their final ever show. Bring your swords and shields for one last battle in their honour! Meanwhile the Jagermeister stage welcomes four eclectic bands: DED ORSE, described by Kerrang! as the bastard son of Clutch and early Black Sabbath, Manchester’s TEN FOOT WIZARD, purveyors of power blues and stoner rock, CADENCE NOIR showcase their dark acoustic goth with a wealth of traditional instruments and finally, DARKHORSE; hard hitting stoner groove from Northants. The 2014 ‘Metal 2 The Masses’ tour has been the most successful to date, with many shows sold out at 350+ capacity and every venue rammed to the rafters. The scene is truly thriving at a grass roots level. Regions covered so far include Plymouth, Dublin, Guernsey, Sheerness, Brighton, Norwich, Luton, Reading, Manchester, London, Glasgow and Nuneaton, with more to come. More heats run through July and the final round of additions will be announced then. In the meantime, the following lucky acts join the New Blood stage in August: ALONE WITH WOLVES (for fans of Bury Tomorrow, Architects, Alexisonfire), DOG TIRED (for fans of Pantera, Black Label Society, Corrosion of Conformity), JONESTOWN (ex-Internal Conflict, delivering their brutal, angry, honest message), JACKNIFE SEIZURE (4-piece prog rock/metal), BACK DOWN OR DIE (for fans of RATM, Hatebreed, Suicidal Tendencies), REPRISAL (Dom Lawson-approved death/thrash), DARKEYE (heavy ass riffs for fans of Gojira and Triptykon), THE THREAT (progressive death metal/brutal jazz), SYNAPTIK (melodic death/prog metal), RESIN (for fans of Alice In Chains and Alter Bridge), KING GOAT (prog doom with psychedelic and Eastern influences) and finally, UNFORSEEN PROPHECY (metalcore with unique female backing vox).
