With heat four coming up next week, we just wanted to give you a heads up on who is playing and who has already gone through.
The first slot saw a great selection of bands get through including last years hopefuls Aesect and We Know Jack. When heat two came about the decision was tougher than ever with Judges vote being Atominated , the Crowd Vote going to Alpheidae and Twisted Autocracy taking the Wild Card vote. All three bands played a blinding set and have a very good chance of making it all the way through.
Moving on to Heat Three which was a scorching night of Irish Metal at it’s finest with performances from Nautilus, who blew people away with their Sabbath style riffing and thunderous sound. Also playing on the night was ZhOra, who displayed a fantastic amount of stage presence and downright killer tunes. 
A particular shout out to Richie McCormack on Bass and powerhouse drumming from Tom Woodlock who played a spectacular show.
Galway based Negativ Result proved to be well worth the listen as they smashed through a 30 minute set that was made for a large beer induced sweaty Bloodstock stage. Also performing on the night was Snowblind, a Dublin based three piece with a HUGE sound! These guys have elements of Motorhead, Exodus and early Metallica weaved within their music and don’t be fooled by the fact that they are a three piece as they will blow you away when you catch them live.
The decisions were incredibly difficult as we had only places for three of the four bands to go through and the overall decision was as follows;
Judges Decision – Snowblind,
Crowd Vote – Nautilus
Wild Card – Negativ Result
