Bloodstock Metal To The Masses Finalist Interview: Verletzen (Interview By Matt Bladen)

Bloodstock Metal To The Masses 2024 Finalists Interview With Verletzen (Interview By Matt Bladen)

First of all congratulations on getting to the final, which this year is the biggest one yet!

1. You’re going to be a part of the inaugural Day Of Reckoning at The Patti Pavilion in Swansea. How does that feel?

It feels bloody good. For us to be in the final again we see it as an honour and it shows the support is true! The Patti Pavilion is a target we've wanted to hit and we look forward to it! 

2. From what we’ve seen your campaign to get to Bloodstock has been very successful (obviously). How has the experience of this year’s M2TM been for you?

This years experience as always has been immense from the fan base all the way to the fellow competing bands

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

Important! Support the underground because without it we'd be nothing! 

4. To add to that. How strong do you feel the scene is at the moment?

The scene is definitely going strong with more new blood popping up etc. We think it's definitely become tighter even over the last year.

5. What should people expect when you take to the stage at the Patti. It’s a pretty big stage so are there more nerves than playing say Fuel or The Bunkhouse?

Welsh Black Fucking Metal. 

6. What other bands are you looking forward to seeing on the day?

Discharge! And our fellow brethren 

7. If you were to get to play Bloodstock on the New Blood Stage, how would that feel for you as a band? 

Bloodstock has always been one of the goals for us and we will strive for that whether we win this competition or not. 

8. Would you recommend the M2TM initiative to any band looking to showcase themselves in their scene and further away?

Of course. From the exposure to the experience its good for all bands to give it a go. It's nice feeling pressured being judged rather than just typical gig nerves. 

9. In addition to that question. What advice would you give them in order to get where you are?

Overall practice, keep at it and be true to yourselves as a band! 

* This last question was invented by Mr Paul Hutchings who sent the Heat interviews so it’s an homage*

10. As we are a Welsh publication and this is M2TM South Wales. The final question is: What is your favourite sheep?

As for the sheep we will chose the Llanwenog as that image with the three sheep just depicts our unholy triad hah! 

However here's us with the true beasts....the goats!

Thank you very much for answering these questions! Good luck on 29th June from everyone involved with Metal To The Masses South Wales.
