Interview
1. Congratulations on winning the Glasgow leg of the M2TM and earning your slot on the Bloodstock New Blood Stage. What made you decide to take part?
A couple of local bands including a band we played with on our first show called Titan Breed who also won M2TM a few years ago.
2. What were some of the highlights of your competition run?
Definitely wining was a massive highlight but playing with other incredible bands and making new contacts is always a highlight.
3. Describe the feeling if you can upon hearing your name read out as the winners?
We literally had no words. We were all in shock and it still hasn’t really kicked in yet.
4. How big of an opportunity is playing the New Blood Stage for Inferiem? We’ve seen some bands really grow from it over the years!
It is a massive opportunity to be playing on the New Blood Stage! It will be our first trip outside of our home city as a band. We just need to make a huge statement and show people what we’re all about.
5. What can Bloodstockers expect from you come festival time? Why should they come see you?
People should expect a very energetic set with songs from our debut EP that will get your head banging. We like to get the pits open so expect some craziness.
6. Are you regular attendees to the festival or will this be your first time?
Most of the band will be first timers but our drummer Gordon has been a few times and he loves it!
7. Are you hanging about all weekend? If so who are you most looking forward to seeing?
We will be about from start to finish! I think we will try and catch as many sets as we can but a couple bands like Parkway Drive, Tesseract and Children Of Bodum can’t be missed!
8. What does the rest of 2019 look like for Inferiem? Shows? Releases?
After the release of our Debut EP on the 14th of June we are trying to promote that as much as possible so after bloodstock we have a few shows lined up back in Glasgow. Possibly even getting back into the studio to start EP 2 if all goes well!
