IMPERIUM
Hailing from South-West London, IMPERIUM are an ambitious 5-piece heavy metal band. Each growing-up with pre 2000 thrash metal. We’ve moved around the uk with blistering thrash riffs and neck breaking groove sections providing pure head-banging satisfaction. With our first single (Here Comes The Night) released in 2020 and our physical EP release dropping and playing Bloodstock Open Air for the first time in august 22, it feels like nothings stopping this band showing the world what it’s capable of!
FFO: Testament, Metallica, Pantera

Regicide formed in 2020 from a collection of friends who shared similar musical influences and passion. Their unique brand of entertainment fuses killer riffs, murderous drums, guttural vocals and disgusting breakdowns that will make you more aggressive than your Nan on bingo night. Regicide have already built a solid foundation, with a local cult following in Southend at the prestigious Chinnerys venue, and Coda in Colchester, and supported UK Thrash legends Evile in their 2023 UK Tour. With shows across the UK supporting the likes of Ghosts Of Atlantis, Hellfekted, And Demolizer and Festival appearances at MTROFEST and Thrashchester and their Debut Album released in July 2024 the journey has only just begun!
FFO: Pantera, Exhorder, Anthrax
