The only two summer festival apperances for 2008 are now behind us and heres what vocalist Mike had to say about it:
“Hey people! Just got back from the 2 shows we did with Bloodbath! Great fun! We played at the Party.San festival in Germany and at the Pellavarock fest in Finland. I was really sick with the flu/sore throat and so was Axe so the 2 rehearsals we did for the shows was a drag, really! During the shows I had to blow my nose all the time, which probably isn’t the best for death metal cred, but what the hell?
The first show was pretty disatrous. The sound on stage was out of control and none of us could hear anything at all. Not a great show but fun nevertheless. They only gave us a 15 minute changover so we didn’t have time to do a proper line check. Loads of people there and I guess most seemed to enjoy themselves, but we really though it was horrendous, haha!
The 2nd one was way better…both me and Axe we’re doing slightly better yet I still had to blow my nose all the time. It was a tight show with much better stagesound yet a lot less people being a smaller festival in the woods. Our dress-code? Blood infested, mud caked, worn, torn shitty old t-shirts, black pants and some blood all over…the usual stuff. It was great times overall, I thought I’d be miserable being sick and being so busy with Opeth, I was on the verge of calling it off, but truly ended up having a great time. So, we’ll go under the surface again now, but do check out the album once it’s out….it’s cool as….hell!”
As the two only live apperances for 2008 are done, we’ve decided to put up some of the more “laundry unfriendly” stage oufits for auction. If you want to own a piece of death metal history and collectibles exclusively made only for this occassion, now here’s your chance to grab all five bloodbath members ripped, torn, blood drenched and mud caked t-shirts as seen worn live at both shows.
