After 2021’s most successful event to date and in celebration of Halloween, Bloodstock is excited to announce a swath of bands for 2022’s Catton Park heavy metal party, including their final main stage headliner! 
 

Following a decade of wreaking havoc together, Virginian metal maniacs Municipal Waste and Nuclear Blast have officially re-signed a worldwide deal that will extend the Nuclear-Waste union for years to come.

Japanese Thrash Metal combo Shady Glimpse have signed a licensing deal with Wormholedeath for the reissue of their album “Supreme Gift”, which is due for re-release on December 17th, 2021, via Wormholedeath worldwide.

Shady Glimpse’ music is based on the 80s Bay Area: digests and absorbs punk, funk, disco, hard rock, and death metal. As the name Shady Glimpse suggests, it will be a light that gives color to the underground.

Tracklist:
1. The New World
2. DIOVig-C

Even though the world is slowly opening up and shows are starting to take place, there is still too much uncertainty with the ever-changing rules between the different countries in Europe. As a result of this, Sepultura are forced to postpone their UK/European QUADRA tour to 2022.
 

Nova Scotia based Heavy Metal act Hogtooth have signed with Wormholedeath Records a licensing deal for their EP “You Can’t Handle the Tooth”, due for release on December 10th, 2021.

States the band:

After the biggest and most successful Bloodstock to date this year, a certified triumph in the face of adversity, Bloodstock’s 2022 event is off to a flying start with all VIP, discounted early bird tickets and campervan passes sold out in record time! Standard tickets are in the ticket store now ready to find their homes, so don’t snooze on ‘22’s epic line up, as at this rate, it’s sure to sell out in advance.

Thrashing from the depths from the hot Australian wasteland rises this iconic inferno with an uplifting brutal blend of Heavy Metal played with furious veracity and an uncompromising attack in the Australian Heavy Metal scene.

With a bond forged in youth and decades-old friendship, the undisputed masters of thrash metal, Exodus, return with their eleventh studio album, “Persona Non Grata”, due to be released on November 19th, 2021, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Today, the band releases a music video for the first single entitled “The Beatings Will Continue (Until Morale Improves)”. Watch the video written and directed by BJ McDonnell and produced by James A Rota, below.

Still celebrating their 40-year tenure as one of music’s premier thrash metal bands, Anthrax announces their first European & UK tour since the summer of 2019. Kicking off on September 27th 2022 in Birmingham, UK, the band will play 28 dates in 16 countries, wrapping up in Zurich, Switzerland on November 5th. Crossover thrash band Municipal Waste will support on all dates.  

In just 9 days, the Metal Tour Of The Year co-headlined by Megadeth and Lamb Of God will lay waste to cities across North America as the highly anticipated trek finally hits the road. Megadeth have today announced that joining them to take care of bass duties for this tour will be former Megadeth member, James LoMenzo.
