The Razor's Edge: How tough was the competition this year?
Eddie: The competition was really tough, a lot of great metal bands in Brum right now, but huge congratulations to the lads in Tumanduumband for winning! There were a few other noticeable bands that didn’t make it to keep an eye out in the future for sure.
The Razor's Edge: What does playing at Bloodstock mean to you?

The Razor's Edge: Playing the New Blood Stage is just the first stepping stone in a bands journey. What’s next in your plans for world domination?
Eddie: We’ve been working hard on new material all year and we’re hoping we can share that with everyone later this year, but we just want to carry on this journey and play bigger and bigger shows.
