Unified Sounds are running campaigns for M2TM in 2012 in London, Kent, Essex and Sussex. In 2011 we ran the Kent, Essex and Brighton campaigns.
Bands can apply directly to local promoters who are running events up and down the UK to find acts for Bloodstock 2012 - these could also win you a slot at either Wacken or Metalcamp in 2013. This scheme is mainly focused on UK acts (aside from Norway and Croatia) and full details on entry will be up on site soon but to beat the rush these are some of the Promoters running events in their regions.

If you are an Unsigned Act and wish to apply but not enter the M2TM then please send CD's and Biogs to the following address. Please note this form of application will not enter you forward for slots at the European Festivals for the following year but all CD's will be given our full attention.

After yet another amazing year of Metal 2 The Masses Kent did itself proud again. Female fronted melodic metallers TRAINING ICARUS walked off with the Kent Metal 2 The Masses prize while INNER FIRE grabbed the guest slot. Over in Essex black metallers THE FURIOUS HORDE put on the performance of their lives to seal a place at the best metal festival this country has to offer. Lastly SHREDDERTRON took the honours in Brighton. Recently it has been announced that screaming noise merchants AVENGE THEE + NAIME have been awarded a slot on the acoustic stage meaning Unified Sounds has an untouchable 5 bands on the Bloodstock bill!
Over the past 3 years Unified Sounds have successfully helped the likes of Snakebite, Silent Descent, Splintered Soul, Zocalo, Sanctorum, Silas, O.M.T, Denounce, Cursed As Angels, The Inbreds, Sevenyearsdead, OutCryFire and Echoes Fall play at Bloodstock. Snakebite went onto play Wacken in 2010.
