Bloodstock is disappointed to announce that Dimmu Borgir are forced to cancel their appearance at this weekend’s festival due to circumstances beyond their control. Dimmu Borgir’s statement reads as follows:
Dimmu Borgir regrets to inform you that we have to cancel our appearance at this year´s Bloodstock due to illness. The doctors have ordered full rest for a minimum of one week, and instructed that performing a show this weekend would increase the situation. We are truly sorry about this, as we had been looking forward enormously to returning to Bloodstock this year. Enjoy the festival, we will see you again soon! – DIMMU BORGIR
In a last minute dash to find a replacement, Bloodstock will be moving Queensryche up into the Sunday special guest slot and will be bringing in Batushka underneath them into a 3rd on the bill position. Batushka inform us:
Bloodstock, we’re returning to bring you sorrow and mourning in its full glory! We’re bringing you only bitter regrets! Celebrate with us the Liturgy of Death. Experience it until it breaks your heart. Here we come in pain, fear, and scarcity! It’s time for the Great Vespers! Bloodstock! We will soak your land with death!
Emerging from the shadows of eastern Poland back in 2015, black metal band Batushka have established themselves as one of the modern era’s most powerful and evocative outfits. Harnessing the fire and fury of arcane black metal and channelling it through the reverberant grandeur of ancient rituals of worship, the band’s debut album Litourgiya stood apart from the extreme metal hordes: a monument to originality, depth and dark mysticism that swiftly cast its spell over the metal underground and beyond.
