It says something about how big a booking is when people are leaving Emperor on the Ronnie James Dio stage to jam themselves inside the confines of Bloodstock’s smaller Sophie stage.

Back in the 90s, the collaboration between Max Cavalera and Fudge Tunnel’s Alex Newport created a proper cult following; decades later the band were spoken about in hushed tones. Today, although Newport isn’t a member of the touring crew, the chance to see this unicorn of a project is too exciting to miss, meaning that anticipation levels are off the scale as the band wander on and drive immediately into a scathing Wasting Away.
