There are a lot of bands on the bill, and some you may not be that familiar with, which is where we come in. As is our yearly custom, we will be running features on many of the bands playing, aiming to give you some insight into who they are, what they do, and why they are a must see at the festival.
Kensei
Hailing from The Black Country in the West Midlands, Kensei are a fairly new band having to come to life in 2021, but they’ve been keeping very busy and accomplished so much in three years already.
Showcasing a throwback melodic death metal sound with big and catchy choruses, it’s no surprise that it’s Kensei’s live performances have really seen their popularity explode. Known for their blistering, energetic, and anthemic live shows, it’s no surprise that they managed to win the Birmingham Metal to The Masses this year either.
Alongside their much-lauded live shows, Kensei have also released a ton of singles such as ‘No Remorse’, ‘End of Days’, ‘Pariah’, ‘With Death I Walk’, and ‘The Light’, over the past few years. There’s plenty more to come too as the band recently came out of the studio, having recorded their latest batch of songs and one such new single goes by the name of ‘Paralysis’!
Do you want to see what Kensei have in store for Bloodstock before Bloodstock even happens? Well then, get yourself to the venue, Ye Olde Foundry in the heart of Dudley Town for a Kensei Bloodstock warmup show.
Or maybe you need to save your voice for Bloodstock and what promises to be a heavy singalong with Kensei on the Sunday of the festival? It’s going to be an infectious one, but don’t take our word for it though. We spoke to Kensei about what it means to play Bloodstock 2024, what the festival means overall, and what attendees can expect from their show.
It means the absolute world to us playing Bloodstock this year! All of our members were or are regular attendees and to finally be gracing the stage for this momentous occasion means the absolute world to us!!
