Sam: Kind of a weird one actually, we entered Metal To The Masses as we was unsure if we had a UK fan base at all as most of our fans are abroad, we got to the final but sadly didn't win.
Thankfully we got given a slot on the jagermeister stage and we have been so greatful to play this year, so much fun.
Chris: They tried to bring the tent down! We got some sex toys to throw to the crowd, so if you see people wandering the festival with various adult items it is our fault. I think our set had Wolf Of Wall Street vibes with how it went. Angry chaos.
Sam: The only thing that was missing was the crowd surfers, we had the lights flickering and the pole swaying. So much fun.
Sam: Pretty much anything on the extreme spectrum so bands like ORIGIN, BRAIN DRILL, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE and FALLUJAH.
Chris: I like HAWKWIND and the man who wrote ''Gangnam Style''.
Sam: JUDAS PRIEST absolutely smashed it last night, ALESTORM and CANNIBAL CORPSE will be awesome too.
Chris: I didn't realise you had to bring a Hawaiian shirt this weekend for CANNIBAL CORPSE so I'm kinda left out.
Sam: I've been attending since 2013, played in 2016 with AGRONA.
Sam: We haven't got loads lined up as we're planning to go write some more tracks then hopefully release a full length. Actually enter a proper studio this time and bring out something proper.
Our aim for next year is to really get around the UK with touring.
More results...
