Bloodstock 5 Don'ts : Don't stay in your comfort zone!

For a genre that prides itself on diversity and tolerance, Metal fans can be a rather conservative lot. Bloodstock is therefore a perfect opportunity to try things you would usually not touch. If you are sure that Black Metal is not for you go see Dimmu Borgir. Their symphonic arena sized take on the style may well change your mind. Similarly, if you are dead set against Metalcore I would still urge you to watch Parkway Drive Saturday night headline show. It will be incendiary (literally), making Rammstein looking like a half arsed geezer with a sparkler. Basically check your preconceived ideas at the door and enjoy the crack.
