METAL TO THE MASSES FINAL!
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
