ATARKA – Rock ‘N’ Load – The Rig Rundown – Bloodstock 2026
Established in 2019 in the depths of the West Midlands and the birthplace of metal itself, Atarka have been conjuring up their own blend of modern melodic death metal that draws from their crucible of diverse influences, modernises it and layers it with a signature sound that has drawn critical acclaim and left audiences demanding more across the U.K.
FFO: In Flames, Trivium, At The Gates, Soilwork
Metal 2 The Masses is a cornerstone of our scene! It was a genuine pleasure to work alongside so many talented bands and organisers. There was very much a feeling of if you win – we all win. Which is EXACTLY what the competition and the Birmingham scene as a whole is all about.
To say we’re humbled to have won is an understatement. Dream come true is a cliché, but it absolutely rings true when you’re playing a festival we’ve all frequented since our teen years. Bloodstockers who come to see us can be guaranteed 3 things:
Big riffs, catchy hooks and one of the most visceral live performances you will see all weekend!
