Bloodstock : 30 Bands Not To Miss - KK's Priest
2. KK’s Priest – Ronnie James Dio stage - Sunday, August 13th – 18.55
So how hot off the press are we? We have ditched our long sprawling monologue about how wonderful Helloween are (because they are and that's not up for debate) and we have replaced it with an equally subjective treaty on the wonder of KK Dowling's incarnation of Priest.
Yes it's not Helloween but to be honest with less than 24 hours to do it in, this is rather inspired booking on Bloodstock's behalf. This is the singalong corner that were all craving for. Judas Priest are probably one of the greatest heavy-metal bands of all time so let's be greedy and revel in the good fortune of having two versions of the band kicking around.
Reports from their inaugural show have ranged from good to downright revelational. So we will be in safe hands. Get your voice is in full effect and look forward to an hour and quality of pure top quality metal. As super subs go there is no better.
I just love Metal. I love it all. The bombastity of symphonic, the brutality of death, the rousing choruses of power, the nihilistic evil of black, the pounding atmospherics of doom, the whirling time changes of prog, the faithful familiarity of trad, the other worldlyness of post, the sheer unrefined power of thrash. I love it all!
