  • Bloodstock M2TM South Wales Interviews: Disrupt The Continuum East Heat #4 Green Rooms, 21.03.26

    Interview With Disrupt The Continuum East Heat #4 Green Rooms, 21.03.26



    1. Please introduce yourself for anyone who may not know you. Tell us a little bit more about you as a band.

    We are Disrupt the Continuum, we have been together for 13 years, playing all over south Wales and further into the UK.

    A little break from everything music wise in 2019 then getting back together to play again we have now added a new member to the DTC family in the4 form of a second guitarist and plan on getting more gigs to share our fast hard metal style to the masses, pun intended.


    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 previously have competed in MTTM competition in 2017 and last year in 2025 getting to the Quarter finals where we shared the stage with some really excellent bands, it has always been a great competition to play with meeting new people and networking with bands.

    3. M2TM is all about supporting your local scene. How important is the local scene to you as a band?

    If there is no local scene there is no scene at all, every band has to start somewhere and helping each other out is very important not only for bands but also for venues, promoters and media. Grass roots music is where it all starts for everyone.

    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 have played the Green Rooms before and love the place, Jonny Foxhall has created a place that bands can not only rehearse but a really fun and great venue for bands to showcase there talents to the masses. The adjustments and improvements that have been made in recent years with the addition of the TGR festival just goes to show how much effort and commitment everyone at the Green Rooms has made.

    5. What are your expectations from being a part of M2TM?

    All bands want to win it all and go through to play Bloodstock Festival but like I said previously this competition is a great chance to meet and connect with bands you may never play with at any other gigs and that’s really important to us because meeting people and bands from all metal genres helps broaden the scope of not only opportunities but the mind and music in general.

    6. What would getting to our Day Of Wreckoning final and the possibility of playing Bloodstock Festival 2026 mean to you?

    Day of Wreckoning has been such a great success over the last few years that it would be amazing to play and be at the final just to say you have played it but also having the chance to play such a great festival like Bloodstock, the bands that have graced the stages at Bloodstock over the past 25 years would make anyone want to play it. It would be a great achievement for any band that wins.

    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?

    There are a lot of bands that are returning to the competition that we have played with before like Excursia which are really good people and very talented but also some new bands that we are excited to see and hopefully play with like Avicide, Convoy and Exuast in the East Side east side and bands like Thawn, Scratch One Grub, Inscape and Manumit in the West Side but the bands that enter every year always show you something new and surprise you so to play with any of them would be a honour.

    8. Tell us in five words why people should come and see your band?

  • Trent Reznor Clarifies that NIN Aren’t “Intentionally Stopping” Touring

    Screenshot 2026-03-17 at 8.41

    Let’s start off by saying: THANK GOODNESS. If you’ve heard anything about Nine Inch Nails‘ current tour leg, one of the things may have been something he recently said that may have had you clutching your metaphorical pearls (or in metal’s case, a chunky ball necklace or something). At some point during the tour, frontman Trent Reznor said something that made fans think the band won’t be performing or touring again. Last night (March 16), during their final tour stop in Sacramento, CA, the Reznorator took to the mic to make sure he got things cleared up.

    Reznor told the crowd:

    “As some of you may know, this is the last show of the tour. And to be clear, I think I said something the other day that then got misconstrued into something that is not intentionally necessarily true. What I said was, this is the last show of this tour, and we don’t have any shows booked, and we don’t have any plans to book any shows any time in the future so far. That doesn’t mean we may not tour again.

    “We may tour again. It won’t be next month, it won’t be this year. I never said we were intentionally stopping, and I never meant that. But, to be truthful, we didn’t tour for a while before this tour because, frankly, I didn’t know if we could do it well, and if it still mattered, and if really feel like we had something to say. And the combination of this band, and this crew, and a lot of hard work, and we put on a show that I’m really fucking proud of. I thank you for coming and attending. I appreciate it. It makes us all feel like we have a fucking purpose.

    “What we’re going to do is work on some new music, and make some new shit. And if we feel inspired, and if we feel we can beat this [show], we’ll see you again. And I hope to see you again, and I hope you come see us if we do.”

    You can watch the full clip below, and join me in thanking our lucky fucking stars that Nine Inch Nails aren’t retiring from absolutely dominating the stage.

  • Bruno Mars Says He Did Not Diss Taylor Swift

    Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift became hugely famous around the same time, and the two of them remain stadium-level megastars many years after most of their peers have faded away. Beyond that, though, Mars and Swift don’t honestly have that much in common. Their styles of pop music are radically dissimilar, and their careers haven’t overlapped much. As the photo above will attest, Swift once handed Mars a VMA and then towered over him while he accepted it, but beyond stuff like that, they’ve moved in different circles. Now that he’s getting ready to mount his own stadium tour, Mars is in the unenviable position of insisting that he did not diss Taylor Swift.
