Bloodstock Open Air / 2023

A photo reportage from the UK’s biggest independent metal festival.

Welcome to Bloodstock Open Air Festival, a metal pilgrimage where the earth trembles under the might of heavy guitars and the air is charged with the energy of thousands of headbangers. A photo reportage from this year’s edition by Marilena Vlachopoulou of the thunderous performances of metal legends like Abbath, Gatecreeper, In Flames, Knocked Loose, Meshuggah, Pest Control, Sepultura,  and more, as they converged on the hallowed stages to create a sonic storm like no other.

The Pulse of the Night / Helang

Music | Interview
Helang is part of a new wave of electronic artists who balance vulnerability with power, drawing on her cross-cultural upbringing between America and China to create music that is both fiercely independent and emotionally charged. A classically trained pianist turned DJ, producer, and label founder, she has carved out her own lane in a scene that often resists definition.
