Bloodstock Festival hve announced the addition of three acts to the Summer 2014 line-up.
First up are Polish death metal legends Decapitated. Decapitated are hard at work on their as-yet-untitled sixth studio album, set for release in 2014 via Nuclear Blast. Decapitated excitedly declared: "Bloodstock, here we come!!! Finally, after many years, it's time to play at one of the biggest metal festivals in the UK. Can't fucking wait! It's an honour to perform on the Bloodstock stage for so many people. Hopefully we will kick your asses with our new album! See you soon!" Not familiar with the band yet? Check out the title track from their last record, Carnival is Forever.
Joining them, Bloodstock luminaries Saxon will be returning to the festival in 2014! The legendary British metalheads released their twentieth album ‘Sacrifice’ in February, featuring stunning cover art from Bloodstock founder and fantasy artist Paul Raymond Gregory. In November, the band will release ‘Unplugged And Strung Up’, a 14-track collection of alternative takes on classic Saxon tracks.
US thrash metal icons Flotsam & Jetsam will also appear at Bloodstock 2014! The band are currently working with Pledge Music on a full remake of their classic second album ‘No Place For Disgrace’.
