Bloodstock 2018: Day Two
Following a highly entertaining opening day which featured standout performances from Judas Priest, Suicidal Tendencies and Doro, Bloodstock Open Air had much to offer for the middle of the weekend, from death metal legends to up and comers to elaborate stage shows.
Having missed out on main stage openers, Nailed To Obscurity, my Saturday began at the Ronnie James Dio stage with one of the most talked about young bands going today, Texan thrashers, Power Trip. Thrash metal, being comprised in part by hardcore punk, can often be a gamble when translated to a large, outdoor stage during the day, with some bands not always able to make it work. It's safe to say however, that Power Trip don't have this problem.
Promoting their latest album, "Nightmare Logic," which was released last year, the group tore apart the main stage and attacked the waking audience with a tenacity that couldn't have been more confrontational unless they continuously shouted, "WAKE UP DICKHEADS, IT'S TIME FOR POWER TRIP!" It may have been morning but the energy that the band transferred to the crowd already resulted in mosh pits and crowd surfing, as vocalist Riley Gale spurred on the madness with his performance alone. A great way to start the day thanks to a band who will only get bigger and badder with time. More...
Equinox Seeks Second Guitarist
Orlando metal band, Equinox, has issued the following update on their MySpace page:
"Equinox is looking for a 2nd guitarist for recording and live gigs. Must have good equipment and attitude. We prefer someone who lives in Orlando or at least Central Florida. This is not a rhythm guitar spot, we are looking for another lead guitarist, so chops are important. To get an audition, send a message with your telephone number and the best time to call. Only serious inquiries please!"
Equinox Welcomes Back Lead Guitarist
Orlando, Florida metallers, Equinox, post the following update on their myspace page:
"EQUINOX would like to welcome the return of Kelly McLauchlin (Pessimist, Unholy Ghost, Diabolic) on lead guitars. Kelly rejoins the band as they prepare new material for the next full length album."
"Thus far the band has several new tracks which can best be described as the most intense, technical, and aggressive songwriting to date. Preparing for a follow up to 2006's release of the critically acclaimed "The Immortal Kind" released through METALBOLIC RECORDS. Although the band is gearing up for the next studio album, and a return to the stage, EQUINOX are now shopping for a new label. Rest assured faithful friends, this material is simply to alive to be kept in the darkness much longer!"
