Bloodstock M2TM South Wales Interviews: Risperidrone – East Heat #3 Green Rooms, 06.03.26
Interview With Risperidrone – East Heat #3 Green Rooms, 06.03.26
1. Please introduce yourself for anyone who may not know you. Tell us a little bit more about you as a band.We are Risperidrone, a four-piece from Cardiff and we play doom metal with a touch of groove and a sprinkle of psychedelic/proggy elements. If we can get a few stank faces going in the audience then we know we’ve done our job.
We’ve been playing together for almost 3 years now in our current line up of Giacomo Fiderio on vocals, Wigg Grant on guitar, Tom Kirkby on the drums and Rob Edwards on bass.
2. What made you want to participate in the Metal To The Masses South Wales 2026 campaign? Have you had previous experience? Or is this your first time?
We’ve got a fair bit of experience now with M2TM, and there’s a reason we keep coming back, it’s always great fun and everyone brings their A game! We’ve participated in our current line up in 2024 and 2025, as well as in 2022 with our previous singer, and a couple of us have had some success in other bands, so by this point we’re all pretty familiar with the competition!
3. M2TM is all about supporting your local scene. How important is the local scene to you as a band?
The local scene is really important to us, without it we wouldn’t get to have fun doing what we do! We’ve discovered a lot of incredible bands through being part of the scene, and made a lot of friends too! It’s always been very supportive to us, and M2TM always feels like a big event for the scene so it’s great to take part
4. We have a slightly different set up this year with Heats/Quarters/Semis taking place at Bunkhouse/Green Rooms. Have you played the venue before or is this your first time? Are you excited to get on those stages?
We’re fairly familiar with both of the venues that are involved this year, having played both Green Rooms and Bunkhouse a fair few times over the last couple of years.We’ve not been back to Green Rooms since the new stage has been put in, so we’re excited to get up on there! And Bunkhouse is where we played our very first gig as a band and we always love going back there
5. What are your expectations from being a part of M2TM?
Based on our previous experience with M2TM, we’re expecting that however far we make it, it will be a blast. High energy crowds, elevated performances from all of the bands, and despite the competitive element of the event, we’ve always experienced a really friendly atmosphere that feels more like the local scene coming together to celebrate how much talent there is! We’re hoping to discover some new bands and make some connections that we can hopefully get gigging with in the future!
6. What would getting to our Day Of Wreckoning final and the possibility of playing Bloodstock Festival 2026 mean to you?
It would be absolutely awesome to make it to the Day of Wreckoning, a few of us have been in attendance at the finals for the last few years, and since the Day of Wreckoning has come into being, it’s absolutely elevated the whole feel of the finals, it really feels like a step up and the chance to play on that bigger stage would be awesome!And I think it goes without saying, we would all love to be able to play Bloodstock this year! Most of us have been several times to Bloodstock so we’ve all got a lot of love for it, and Rob, Wigg and Tom are all planning to be there either way, it would be all the sweeter if we were able to play there as well!
7. We encourage all the bands in M2TM to try and check out the other bands, who are you most looking forward to? Who should your fans also try to catch?
We’ve played with Mould a couple of times and they are seriously impressive, especially considering how recently they’ve started playing, they’re like South Wales’ very own Eyehategod! Pvriah are fantastic as well, and Manumit! In our heat as well, we’re excited to see Exaust again, they were awesome at last years M2TM!
8. Tell us in five words why people should come and see your band?
Fuzz, swamp ape, more fuzz -
Band To Watch: Suitor
It’s a wintery Thursday night in Cleveland, Ohio — cold enough that I can see my breath, but not so cold that my nosehairs have stiffened and merged into one. We’re huddled inside a crowded Superelectric Pinball Parlor in Gordon Square. The walls are plastered with local sports pennants and kitschy knickknacks, and someone’s blowing…

POISON THE WELL Add Special Guest IRON MIND To Australian Tour 2026
Adding some Aussie hardcore brutality to POISON THE WELL‘s headline run this September, Melbourne’s IRON MIND will join Boston chaos merchants HAYWIRE supporting POISON THE WELL nationally as the Florida heavyweights mark their first Australian performances since 2009.
For almost two decades, IRON MIND have been seething torchbearers for Australian hardcore, releasing their 2009 EP The Sun Has Set before going on to unleash their debut 2011 album Hell Split Wide Open, their 2014 self-titled full-length album and, most recently, their third studio album, 2025’s Test Of The Iron Mind, with Knotfest.com declaring of the latter: “the band has been deliberate with each stomp, each massive swell and riff – this is Iron Mind, chaotic and hungry”.
With a global reputation for their live intensity, IRON MIND have previously shared stages with the likes of SPEED, No Warning, Backtrack, Harm’s Way and, as of earlier this year, Turnstile, with TheMusic.com.au praising IRON MIND‘s Melbourne support slot with Turnstile: “the Melbourne boys performed with the confidence of veterans, turning up the dial with punishing, rageful precision”. A band who continue to stand the test of time while also endlessly sharpening their trademark brand of measured chaos, IRON MIND are not to be missed in a live setting.
One of the most influential acts in modern metal and hardcore, in 2026 POISON THE WELL will at long last again be at arm’s length for Aussie fans, heading down under for their Australian headline tour in June. Caustically fluent in flitting between brutality and beauty without breaking a sweat, POISON THE WELL‘s 1999 debut album The Opposite Of December…A Season Of Separation not only introduced the world to a sonic cosmos of gripping yet melodic hardcore; it also influenced the future of heavy music itself, with the genre-defining record claiming spots on Brooklyn Vegan’s “15 ‘90s Metalcore Albums That Still Resonate Today,” KERRANG!’s “21 Best U.S. Metalcore Albums of All Time,” Loudwire’s “25 Best Metalcore Albums of All Time,” and Revolver’s “10 Most Influential Metalcore Albums of All Time”. Currently with five studio albums, countless tours, over 100 million streams, and reuniting after their 2009 hiatus, 2026 is already unfurling a razor-sharp new chapter for POISON THE WELL, with the band now primed to release their first new album in 16 years: Peace In Place, due out March 20.
Announcing Peace In Place along with a propulsive new single Thoroughbreds, POISON THE WELL‘s new era is yet again shaping up to be something both monumental and connective; an album of and for our times, while also channeling the group’s storied journey and narrative into 10 stalwart tracks. Decades into the piece, POISON THE WELL aren’t merely resting on their laurels, instead channeling the spirit of their most celebrated material through a prism of new experience on Peace In Place.
Returning to the opposite side of the world after 16 years of separation, Australian fans can once again revel in the raw, raucous and resplendent stylings of POISON THE WELL this June.
