1. Please introduce yourself for anyone who may not know you. Tell us a little bit more about you as a band.
Sup! We’re House of Hosts! We’re a Welsh 5 piece alt metal/metalcore/early2000’s metal band from Swansea/Bridgend and..Bristol (side eye)! We’ve been together now as a full band since 2022 after reforming the old HOH which started in 2014!
2. What made you want to participate in the Metal To The Masses South Wales 2026 campaign? Have you had previous experience? Or is this your first time?
So we absolutely LOVE playing the MTTM gigs – from the rush of the competition to the energy of the crowd and getting to create some amazing contacts for future gigs. This will be our (I want to say) 2nd time playing the MTTM show? Last time we made it to the quarters, and this year we have put so much work into finessing our set/stage appearance and we want to try and push it all the way!
3. M2TM is all about supporting your local scene. How important is the local scene to you as a band?
Honestly? It’s just getting on that stage and connecting with the crowd through our music. Being given the opportunity to play our tracks to people who may have not seen us before, is enough in itself. We’re deeply honoured!
(…but obviously getting the chance to play Bloodstock is a given…right?!)
6. What would getting to our Day Of Wreckoning final and the possibility of playing Bloodstock Festival 2026 mean to you?
It would be a defining moment in our musical journey, it would prove that hard work and dedication can pay off big time!
7. 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?
We would like to say check out all the bands!
Thawn: bring a an old school distortion vibe with some wicked riffs and fantastic vocals
Clarity As Arson: bring the heaviness in with ferocity and a beastly vocals.
Antique Curse: Delivering some old school heavy metal which will please everyone's ears.
8. Tell us in five words why people should come and see your band?
Super thicc big boi riffs

The local scene is everything to us – without it, we wouldn’t be where we are today!
It’s been said that local music is a dying scene – but we can disagree with that as we’ve seen nothing but amazing rising bands emerge and faithful crowds that are keeping the scene alive!
4. We have a slightly different set up this year with Heats/Quarters/Semis taking place at Bunkhouse/Green Rooms. Have you played the venue before or is this your first time? Are you excited to get on those stages?
Oh, the Bunkhouse *Heart eyes* <3.
We have a deep fondness for this venue, purely because it is f**king amazing! The staff, sound tech Kalebh, the owner Will – oof! We began our journey pretty much at the bunkhouse, and the support and professionalism we have seen from them to this day are immense! We cannot wait to get back onto that stage and give it our all in homage to our fantastic hosts!
