Metal 2 The Masses Organiser Simon Hall says ...
 

"The quality of acts the UK has to offer in the unsigned scene at the moment is breathtaking, Bloodstock recognises the strength in UK Metal, and it’s great that we’re being supported in our efforts by organisations such as Spinefarm UK. Working together in this way can only be beneficial for the music we all love, and will help to further bond the heavy metal community worldwide.”.
