Bloodstock Metal To The Masses South Wales 2025: Interview With Damek (Cardiff Heat #4)

Bloodstock Metal To The Masses South Wales 2025

1. Please introduce yourself for anyone who may not know you. Tell us a little bit more about you as a band.

DAMEK Omsk - Guitar Vokillz

DNR - Bass

Dbomb - Drums

We've been together since 2016 after the demise of our bands Hogslayer, Zonderhoof, Thorun and Desalvo. DAMEK Omsk was raised by Wolves on a Norwegian Fjord, Dbomb was raised by Kittens in Europe and DNR was raised by Sheep in Wales.

2. What made you want to participate in the Metal To The Masses South Wales 2025 campaign? Have you had previous experience? Or is this your first time

When our Lord and Master DAMEK was with HOGSLAYER he luckily played the New Blood Stage and he said it was such an amazing experience. He made so many friends and went on to do so many good gigs etc. The crowd were amazing, I was there it was carnage and it opened a lot of opportunities for them. And I hope it has the same result for us.

3. M2TM is all about supporting your local scene. How important is the local scene to you as a band?

The local scene is very important to us, there's so much talent out there and we've been part of it for long time now and it opens up plenty of opportunities for bands and for fans to experience live music

4. What are your expectations from being a part of M2TM?

We aim to deliver a strong dynamic professional performance with heavy crushing riffs and a few theatrical surprises which will destroy Fuel Rock Club and melt faces. 

5. What would playing a Sold Out Bloodstock Festival mean to you?

We love Bloodstock Open Air and go every year. So once the band was ready it was our dream to play the New Blood Stage / Jaegermeister Stage and fulfill our dreams with this amazing chance. It's such an amazing festival with always a great lineup but one of the nicest things about it is the friendly homely vibe all the best people go to Bloodstock and everyone is super cool and friendly. As well as the brilliant bands theres a lot of fun shenanigans happening in the fair ground and campsites til the small hours. Class. 

6. We encourage all the bands in M2TM to try and check out the other bands, who are you most looking forward to? Who should your fans also try to catch?

There's so many great bands this year and we're hoping for lots of support for all the local bands and a fierce battle to the death!! (maybe not to the death - Ed)
