Bloodstock M2TM South Wales Interviews: Hateful Dread West Heat #4 The Bunkhouse, 08.03.26

 Interview With Hateful Dread West Heat #4 The Bunkhouse, 08.03.26


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

We are Hateful Dread, South Wales Doom at its finest. We have been together with our current lineup since October 2024 and have been making noise on the local scene ever since. We blend distorted sound with heavy metal and create what Google described as music for the end of the world. We are playing Hard Rock Hell Spring Break in March 2026 and cannot wait to share our music with a new crowd.

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?

We want the exposure that not only playing but winning will bring. We believe our heavy sound in perfect for Bloodstock having been a few times. We are new to the scene and M2TM is a great way to network with other bands some of which we have already played with.

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

So far everything, people have given us opportunities and we have yet failed to disappoint. Supporting the other bands and them supporting us has helped us to no end.

4. We have a slightly different set up this year with Heats/Quarters/Semis taking place at Green Rooms/Bunkhouse. Have you played the venue before or is this your first time? Are you excited to get on those stages?

We played The Bunkhouse in September supporting Heavy On The Ride

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

As a band we expect some stuff competition which will help us improve down the line. We would love the chance to play in front of a huge crowd at Bloodstock and even hopefully open up other opportunities across the UK.

6. What would getting to our Day Of Wreckoning final and the possibility of playing Bloodstock Festival 2026 mean to you?

Both would be fantastic experiences personally and professionally, it was one of my personal goals when joining Hateful Dread.

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?

Pvriah are amazing we have played with them before also Mould are great the young singer has a great voice and the band have a heavy sound.

8. Tell us in five words why people should come and see your band.

Psychedelic Doom, steeped in Dread
