Rise To Remain announced for Bloodstock

The Bloodstock team has announced London-based group RISE TO REMAIN for BOA 2008. Fresh from their Download appearance, they are excited to deliver their energetic sound to the Bloodstock crowd.

"We are incredibly excited and honored to be playing a festival that truly dedicates itself to nothing but metal music. Too many festivals at the minute are plagued by movers and shakers who attempt to take it in a more "mainstream" direction, therefore losing a large amount of appeal to the target audiences. Bloodstock however, is avoiding these like the plague, and is in doing so, putting premier metal acts right in front of a fantastic audience. We are truly excited, and can't wait to play alongside some of our heroes!"

Rise To Remain will play Bloodstock Open Air’s main stage on Saturday 16th August.
