Hellbent for (p)leather! 🔥🔥🔥

BOA 26 was one of the all time greats. Wish everyday was a @bloodstockopenair day with Camp Civil 🫶🏻

Highlights - @m2tm_brum 26 winners @atarkaofficial and the triumphant return of our 25 winners @mantis_defeats_jaguar on the SOPHIE stage, much beloved old friends @sellswordmetal and @vanitasband, finally getting to see BODY COUNT(!!!), having a fully transcendent out of body experience at Leprous and of course our lords and saviours Judas Priest 🙏🏻

Lowlights - it was so hot during Castle Rat I thought I was actually going to fully combust. Please can the sun be turned down next time there was enough absolute fire on the stage without the need for the extra warmth 🔥 🔥 🔥

Installing Luminlay side dots on my Zebra V! 🔥🦓

So this is a project a long time in the making. I love my Zebra V and it goes everywhere with me to rehearsal and gigs with @mystiekofficial - but for the longest time, the side dots were really small and hard to see

On a dark stage with stage lights, it was a nightmare 😅

So my dad and I set out to fit 3mm luminlay side dots in the V and couldn’t be happier with them! With @bareknucklepickupsofficial warpigs, @anomalyguitarhardware, @grovertuners, and @graphtechguitarlabs hardware, this guitar is a beast!

Loved playing it at @m2tm_brum grand finals! A huge thank you to my dad for an incredible job on this! 🔥

Let me know if what you’d like to see next!

Another beautiful @m2tm_brum comes to a close, and we couldn’t be prouder of @atarkaofficial , who fought off some serious competition to secure the win last night, and have secured their most deserved place at @bloodstockopenair 2026!

I did quite a lot of big emotional thank yous on stage last night, but honestly it’s a massive group effort and so much love and friendship holds the whole thing together so thank you again to our crew, volunteers, judges, venue, every single band who took to the stage, and the wonderful Birmingham and midlands metal community who show out time and time again. Your support means the world to us!

A huge shout out to my absolute rock @adam_dakesis , who doesn’t get any of the spotlight, but deserves all the praise in the world for keeping everything working seamlessly behind the scenes over the past six months.

Now begins the countdown to the main event! Cannot wait to see Atarka dazzle on the Newblood stage - see you down the front!!! 🫶🏻🤘🏻🩵
