BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2013 8/8-11 2013 DERBYSHIRE, UK: CONFIRM KING DIAMOND, LAMB OF GOD








Promoters for the 2013 edition of  BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2013, set to take place 8/8-11 2013 DERBYSHIRE, UK: CONFIRM KING DIAMOND, ANTHRAX, ACCEPT, FIREWIND, DARK FUNERAL, AMORPHIS and LAMB OF GOD for the festival.




FROM BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2013 PROMOTERS:
The Bloodstock team is thrilled to confirm that our 2013 Saturday night headliner will be groove-metal overlords, LAMB OF GOD.

The headline appearance will only be the Richmond, VA-based band’s second UK show since the release of their critically lauded ‘Resolution’ album back in January 2012. The riff-stacked album bulldozed on to the US Billboard album chart at #3 and racked up Top 20 status in the UK, cementing their status as natural successors to Pantera’s post-thrash crown. As Metal Hammer put it, “There's still no band on this planet that rips faces and sets heads banging like Lamb Of Oh-My-Fucking God. Outstanding." Check out the video for ‘Ghost Walking’, the lead video track from ‘Resolution’ below:

LAMB OF GOD Confirmed as Saturday HEADLINER !!! ONLY UK SHOW for 2013 !!!! Amorphis and Dark Funeral added to the Ronnie James Dio stage !! \M/
Also added as a UK exclusive, are Finland’s AMORPHIS. Esa Holopainen, Amorphis’s guitarist and driving force had this to say;
"Greetings from Hell-sinki's 5K studio where Amorphis is finishing recording our forthcoming 11th album. Our agent gave us the great news that we are booked for Bloodstock Festival 2013! Bloodstock has become one of the best European metal events, so it's an honour to be part of the festival again. We promise to put on an epic show, so keep the horns up and see you at Bloodstock next summer!"
