BENEDICTION, WITCHSORROW, ENFORCER, STEELWING Confirmed For U.K.'s BLOODSTOCK

April 6, 2010

BENEDICTION, WITCHSORROW, ENFORCER and STEELWING have been confirmed for the Sophie Lancaster Stage at the 10th-anniversary edition of the Bloodstock festival, set to take place August 13-15, 2010 at Catton Hall, Derbyshire, United Kingdom.

Commented BENEDICTION bassist Frank Healy: "Bloodstock were the first festival in the U.K. to take notice of BENEDICTION in 2007 and booked us to play. Since that show our profile in the U.K. has gone from strength to strength so when they asked us back it was a no-brainer. They showed a lot of faith in us at the time when no one else did and we owe them a lot for that. We would be at Bloodstock 2010 anyway, but we will now get in free!"

Stated WITCHSORROW guitarist/frontman Nick Ruskell: "We're delighted to be bringing doom metal to Bloodstock. It's an honor to be part of such a killer festival that we go to as fans anyway, and a particularly special occasion for us to be sharing a bill with HEAVEN & HELL. We had a great time when we played on the unsigned stage in '08, and we're looking forward to once again bringing our riffs and darkness to the U.K.'s best metal festival. If the sun puts his hat on, brilliant, if there's wind, rain, mud and biting cold, so much the better for us."
