Bloodstock Festival Countdown : 30 Bands Not To Miss

10. Kublai Khan TX - Ronnie James Dio Stage - Saturday late afternoon

Whilst it may seem to many that Kublai Khan TX have appeared from nowhere, their overnight success story has actually been rather a slow burner. Last year's breakthrough record “Exhibition of Prowess” is album number five in their discography, and they have spent 16 years diligently learning their craft and painstakingly crawling up bills. The Kublai Khan TX that now occupies the headlines is a muscular metalcore giant, reminiscent of Hatebreed in their prime. So if you are yet to get with the program, then this is your chance to bathe in what all the fuss is about. Down-tuned riffs and more attitude than a secondary school dropout, Kublai Khan TX are the face of metal circa 2025. This is the future grandad. Woof woof!
