With a fearsome live reputation, they have knocked out numerous releases over those years, and now they celebrate that 20th anniversary with ‘16 Knockout Hits!’, a compilation of many of the best tracks from their back catalogue.

There can be no doubt that few, if any, other festivals are as committed to or invested in the cultivation and development grassroots metal scene quite as heavily as Bloodstock, as evinced by its annual #Metal2TheMasses showcase of the finest rising talent, which this year alone offers the invaluable opportunity for bands from 30 different locations across the Über Kingdom, and beyond, to burst out of their native environments and onto at least one, and hopefully more, bigger stages.
