Baptized in Blood

[luckysalt]

Roadrunner artist Baptized in Blood have announced they're playing Download, also playing a few UK tour dates afterwards and they're £5 a ticket, really this being the case, they should be on 3rd stage, but as they're an upcoming Roadrunner act, they'll probably be low main stage.

Can see them opening Saturday Main Stage actually.

Heres the press release and link at bottom

BAPTIZED IN BLOOD are pleased to confirm their very first visit to the UK!! The guys, who are co-managed by infamous Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine, will be performing songs from their self-titled album, produced by the infamous Zeuss (Hatebreed, Shadowsfall, Bleeding Through). The album is available now over at iTunes. Check out the video to lead track 'Dirty's Back' in the player below!

Influenced by everything from Gothenburg to glam— as long as it's distorted— this London, Ontario based five-piece runs the metallic gamut, creating a sound that is technically-inspired yet groove-oriented in the same throw. Merging diverse aspects of thrash, punk, and classic rock, their eponymous LP boasts a hard edge bolstered by clear melodies and pummeling amplitude.

To put it simply- it's heavy, it's metal, it's loud.

“It's all about the metal,” states the band’s frontman, Johl Fendley. “If I had just raspy vocals the whole time, we'd be slotted in with thrash but if I was only guttural, we'd be called death metal. I move between all of that so we can't be pinned down. Baptized In Blood adapts to our surroundings because these songs are for us; what we want to hear.”

Baptized In Blood will be hitting up the following towns. Go check em out for as little as a fiver!!
