Finnish Pagan outfit MOONSORROW and German metallers FREEDOM CALL have just announced they will both make exclusive UK performances on the main stage of this years BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR.
Moonsorrow who describe their sound as ‘Epic Heathen
Metal’ are extremely excited to be a part of this years line up. With
the band residing in Helsinki Finland, their lyrics draw inspirations
from Finnish mythology, legends and poetry. Drummer Marko Tarvonen
expresses his delight for being added to this years line up;
"We are truly excited to take part in
Bloodstock Festival 2012. It's been way too long since we played on the
British soil in 2008 and we know that lately there has been a huge
demand for Moonsorrow to play in the UK. So, all our loyal fans in the
UK, we want to see a massive crowd of insane berserks during our set.
Don't let us down because we promise we don't let you down, cheers!"
Freedom Call hailing from Nürnberg, Germany are
ready to bring their mix of melodic power metal to the Bloodstock
masses this year. Bloodstock founder Paul Raymond Gregory also designed
album artwork for the band including ‘Stairway To Fairyland’ and
‘Crystal Empire’. Their latest album ‘Land Of The Crimson Dawn’ was
released in February and was described as “..full of attraction,
fascination and illusions.” By Vocalist Chris Bay, who also expresses
his anticipation to play at this years festival;
"The Bloodstock Festival is the pulsating heart of Heavy Metal...a great audience, which knows exactly to revel."
