Bloodstock 2022 Band Feature: Ireosis
Bloodstock Open Air 2022 takes place from August 11th and August 14th with a line-up that might be one of the best the festival has ever put on. A wide array of rock and metal acts spread across four stages, it’s looking likely to be a weekend not to be missed. Pick up tickets here.
Made up of of the Yorkshire metal scene (LEADROBOT, Psython, Alas Black Arches, Chapel Floods and Lammergeier), Ireosis rose from the ashes of the COVID times in early 2020. They play a mix of metal, rock, prog and psych, creating a sound that they can proudly call ‘the Ireosis sound’.
Hitting the ground running, albeit limited by restrictions and lockdown, Ireosis released three singles in 2021. Atom, Levigate and Darkest Cold and have been busy recording new material this year.
Earning their spot on the New blood stage through the CD submission route, Ireosis clearly had enough going on to impress the organisers. them in submitting to the psychosis.
Ireosis play the New Blood stage on the Saturday of the festival. They had this to say when asked about playing and what fans can expect from their set:
Playing Bloodstock is an absolute honour. We’ve been a part of the festival for years, as fans and as New Blood players in other bands. It’s unbelievable how good the standard of bands is on the New Blood and Jager stages this year, truly humbling and we’re ecstatic to be a part of it. We can’t believe it’s actually happening, we submitted music through the submission phase and they must like us as we’re on and we are not going to disappoint! We have a few tricks up our sleeves and now we’re a 5-piece sound bigger than ever! Can’t wait to take to the stage, feel at home and play some awesome tunes for the best people around, Bloodstockers!
It’s a rare privilege to be invited to play and so early in our band life. We’ve paid our dues over the last 20 years in other bands but this feels different, it feels powerful and unstoppable at the moment and we can’t wait to play!
Get ready for riff filled anthems, intense metal devastation and the vocal crushing monster that is IREOSIS to flay your faces off your skulls………we might give them back…..might.
