unsigned stages: The Bloodstock team are pleased to announce that German Heavy Rockers UNITING THE ELEMENTS have been added to the bill for the Bloodstock Open Air 2008. UTE have long been regarded as one of the best unsigned uk bands currently on the rock and metal circuit. With a gigging list that simply astounds, Bloodstock expects their set to be an absolutely mind blower.

UNITING THE ELEMENTS are Dawn (Vocals), Ola (Guitar), Violet 'The Cannibal' (Drums).

UNITING THE ELEMENTS' sound has an attitude rooted in rock, awesome powerful guitar and pumping drums that provide a leviathan like sound, a pop like appeal that reaches across many audience profiles, all knitted together with the energy, vocal talent and the visual appeal of sylph like singer Dawn.

The three piece (with a bassist constantly being considered) hold crowds enthralled as they start each set at a blistering rate and somehow maintain the drive with hypnotic and typically German precision. As carefully crafted crescendos are reached again and again, ecstatic fans at an amazingly varied set of venues are just hooked into this unforgettable force. There’s not many who ever leave a UTE gig once the first note is hit.

Formed in 2002 UNITING THE ELEMENTS have played alongside a diverse range of headline acts such as Bryan Adams, The Scorpions, Fun Loving Criminals, The Levellers, The Sweet, Uriah Heep, Marky Ramone, Sandi Thom, New Model Army, and Steve Hillage.

Refusing to stand still, UNITING THE ELEMENTS are proactive with over 850 appearances at venues ranging from pub gigs to major festivals in Europe and the US. With every show, their committed fanbase continues – like UTE’s reputation – to grow and develop.

Their music is aired on radio stations worldwide, receiving best audience ratings in the US radio test market.

UNITING THE ELEMENTS defy simplistic categorisation, providing 100% energy,
enthusiasm whilst possessing undeniable stage presence and passion.

UNITING THE ELEMENTS have played ;Wickerman, Rock & Blues (Custom Bike Show, Pentrich), Solfest, Farmyard Party, Eastern Haze, Cambridge Rock Festival, Volkswagen Festival and Lunacy Festival.
