Thursday, July 30. 2009SPECIAL EDITION T-SHIRT ‘BLOODSTOCKS’![]() Last year our very own Mr. G produced artwork for a special edition black and white shirt, to the disappointment of a lot of fans this shirt sold out. This year to celebrate the new Bloodstock Arms Mr. G has produced a new 2009 ‘special edition’ t shirt design. These will be limited in number and as you can see from the design incorporate stocks as the theme. For a bit of fun we decided to make our very own stocks and have them displayed next to the new Bloodstock Arms Sign in front of the main bar... should make for some glorious photos.

BLITZKRIEG FILL LAST MAIN STAGE SLOT EDENS CURSE, DARKNESS DYNAMITE and MALEFICE Added to SOPHIE LANCASTER STAGE THE MAIN STAGE IS FULL! The latest addition to the Bloodstock Open Air 2009 line up comes in the form of NWOBHM heroes BLITZKRIEG. Formed in Leicester in 1980, the band released their debut single in 1981 via NEAT Records. The B-Side, a track simply called “Blitzkrieg”, was covered by a young Thrash band called METALLICA, who released their version of the song on their “Creeping Death” EP 3 years later. With their 30th birthday approaching next year, BLITZKRIEG is starting the celebrations early with an appearance at BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2009. Click Here to view the BLITZKRIEG - Bloodstock Open Air band profile Page . BLITZKRIEG – Absolute Power - BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR 2009. Three more additions on the SOPHIE LANCASTER stage come in the form of melodic Metallers EDEN’S CURSE, DARKNESS DYNAMITE who will be bringing their metallic brand of rock-core on the ferry from France, and homegrown heroes MALEFICE, who are looking forward to tearing BLOODSTOCK a new one, as well as pay tribute to the girl who lends her name to the stage: “We’re delighted to be asked to appear on Bloodstock 2009. We’re even more honoured to be a part of the Sophie Lancaster Stage, as the disgusting nature of her death is something I speak about on the track “Sickened” on our latest album “Dawn Of Reprisal”. Sophie was killed because of the way she looked, and at the end of the day this is no different to being killed because of the colour of your skin or your religious beliefs. We hope this will be an ongoing tribute to Sophie, and support Bloodstock in their efforts to stamp out mindless hatred and hypocrisy wherever it may be”.

Heavily influenced by British metal bands such as Motörhead, Tank and Venom, Sodom’s early sound was a rough’n’ready triumph of enthusiasm over technique, but it bagged them a deal with the Steamhammer label who released the band’s debut EP In The Sign Of Evil in 1984. Their debut album Obsessed By Cruelty arrived in 1986 but offering the same crude sound as the previous EP, left Sodom behind the curve as ’86 also witnessed the release of thrash landmarks such as Reign In Blood and Master Of Puppets. ‘87’s Persecution Mania, however, was a vast improvement and together with its follow-up – 1989’s Agent Orange – elevated Sodom to thrash metal’s premier league. Agent Orange remains the best-selling German thrash album of all time. Like almost all thrash bands of the 1980s, Sodom found themselves in a critical and commercial wilderness throughout much of the 1990s as the media turned their attention elsewhere. As a result, the albums Better off Dead (1990), Tapping The Vein (1992), Get What You Deserve (1994) and Masquerade In Blood (1995) sometimes suffered from shifts in musical direction made worse by never-ending line-up problems. Not until the release of ‘Til Death Do Us Unite in 1997 did the band’s line-up finally stabilize, returning to its full-on thrash roots with 1999’s storming Code Red. The band have since released three strong studio albums including 2007’s The Final Sign Of Evil, a re-recording of their popular debut EP alongside a host of long-lost early numbers.
