METAL TO THE MASSES FINAL!

22 Aug 2011 | no comments »

This has been a while coming in Blog terms, but thing have been incredibly busy!  But it doesn’t make the result of the Metal to the Masses competition any less important.

It has to be said that the final was one of the finest nights of the year, crammed with fans and bands.  It was a night of musical awesomeness where the four bands in the final (in no particular order)  Mantikore, Intensive Square, Against Fate and Ten Cent Toy, put their all into playing and played some amazing sets.  The night was attended by Bloodstock VIP Simon Hall, who is a thoroughly nice chap and who we’d like to thank for all his support and help with our first year of the competition.  It was also attended by some of our competition judges- all of which we’d like to thank and say that we couldn’t have done it without you!  A massive thank you goes to the awesome Danica and Paul for their amazing work on the door and super hand crossing skills.  In amongst the thank yous we’d also like to say a massive thanks to all the bands that put the time, effort and energy into this years competition, and to all their outstanding fans who made the atmosphere electric for the whole competition.

Anyway, lets move on from the thanks and stuff-  each and every band on the night played extraordinarily good sets and definitely showed how great the talent in Wales is and just how good the scene can be!  Against Fate took to the stage first and set the bar high, followed by Intensive square, Mantikore and finally Ten Cent Toy- all four bands certainly gave excellent competition and showed true sportsmanship by giving their support to all the bands. The moshing was awesome, the air was sweaty, chanting fans were loud, the bands were crazy and the atmosphere was electric.

So, it was down to the final decision of Simon on who he though was the most Bloodstock worthy band of the night, and Intensive Square were victorious.   Followed by much celebration of the Intensive Square lad being carried on the shoulders of the crowd and beer sprayed like champagne.  They went on to play Bloodstock last weekend in the ‘New Blood’  stage and certainly did the Welsh metal scene proud.

We are also proud to announce that Bloodstock: metal 2 the Masses will be back at the Green Rooms next year!

Well done to all the bands, and we hope that you take part in next years Bloodstock and try to make it bigger, better and even more crazy than this year!

Thanks all from Vick and Wayne

03 Jul 2011 | 3 comments »

Hello All!   We’d like thank all the wicked bands that played last night for making it an immense Semi Final 1.  And not forgetting all the awesome fans, supporters and other bands that have been in the Metal 2 the Masses competition that came down and showed their support.  Last night was awesome – here’s the results!

4TH place:   Pandamonium                 19.88% of the total votes

Here’s some interesting facts for you!!

One of the independent judges liked Fourth Autumn so much that he voted them  only 1 point off maximum points!

Ten Cent Toy were scored exactly the same score by both judges (spooky!) and  were only 14 points off maximum on each score card.

Against fate actually brought the most fans for the night by the look of the first place votes on the score cards but were let down on their second and third place votes.

A wicked comment was left for Pandamonium from one of the judges  ‘would be interested to see this band in a year or two as I believe they will be a great band with a bit more experience behind them’

Somebody really likes Jesus and voted him in as their 3rd favourite band of the night.
There were some humorous spelling mistakes and name errors this time, with Pandamonium being the spelling issue of the night including ‘Pandamonia’ ‘Pendimonium’ and ‘Padamoniaum’  awesome!


So Congratulations FOURTH AUTUMN and TEN CENT TOY we’ll see you in the finals on the 30th July, and we’ll be sending over the info for the finals shortly, so keep checking your emails!

Thanks again to everyone for making it a fantastic night,

Vick and Wayne
