Yes indeedie - all those months since September 2007 spent recording, waiting, listening and voting have not been in vain.
Bloodstock's Webmaster - following on from the extraordinary volume of voting his competition generated in 2007 - repeated the formula for this year's Festival and my goodness golly gosh it didn't disappoint. The basic principle was the same - Unsigned Bands from all over the world sent us their music to be voted on via Bloodstock TV on our website
www.bloodstock.uk.com The webmaster established 3 genre driven categories for the votes to be cast under.
The winners from each category were chosen on the following variables :
• Number of Votes Per Band
• Video views per band
• Total Downloads per Band
Each of these winning bands will be awarded a performance slot at Bloodstock - the UK's No1 Metal Festival with the band who generates the most votes of the three winners performing on the Main Stage in front of an expected capacity crowd of up to 10,000 Metal Heads!
Last year's winners Sight of Emptiness blew the roof of the stage and are still being hailed back in Costa Rica as celebrities.
ok....so the Winner's are....
