Editors Note.
Bloodstock Festival has been quickly rising as one of the best
independent metal festivals in the world, and the best in the
UK alone. It’s a home away from home where us metal lovers
rejoice and stand together in awe to bang our heads and raise
our horns.
Now after another year of Bloodstock, Distorted Sound
ventured out to the metal extravaganza and had an absolute
blast! With iconic bands playing such as ANTHRAX,
SLAYER, MASTADON and TWISTED SISTER, it would
have been rude to pass it up.
We’ve got great content covered with some of the bands that
played such as THE HERETIC ORDER, DRAGONFORCE,
GLORYHAMMER and GOATWHORE where some of our
fantastic team got to have a chat with them before or after
Staff.

their sets. That, alongside over extensive coverage, you will
get to re-cap on all the amazing bands that performed or get
jealous of the festival if you didn’t go!
On top of all that, we’ve got a fantastic feature on Dez from
DEVILDRIVER prior to their set at Manchester with
MINISTRY and some outstanding album live reviews and so
much more to get your sticky fingers into.
So sit back, relax and enjoy this spectacular edition of
Distorted Sound!
