Our regular run-down of as many of the Bloodstock bands as we can get to talk to us! Elimination play the new Blood stage on the Sunday…
Simple things first – where are you guys from?
We’re from East Anglia. UK! More or less Ipswich except David who jumped the border and went back to Norwich
How long have you been playing together as a band?
The band has been running in various iterations since 2007. We had a bit of a reshuffle with Marcus and Neil ing earlier this year and David taking on vocals as well as guitar
Where does the name of the band come from?
The Overkill track “Elimination”!
Describe your music. What makes you unique?
Thrashy riffs with massive choruses and enough dive bombs to make Kerry King blush! At its heart Elimination is and always be a thrash band.
What’s your live show like? Why are people going to watch you instead of another band?
High energy thrashy fun, perfect to shake off a Sunday morning hangover!

Have you been to Bloodstock before? What did you think?
We love Bloodstock! We played the Jäger stage in 2021 and it was incredible. There was a crowd surfing wheelchair which we will never forget!
Which M2tM region did you win, or did you come through other channels?
We came in via CD submission.
Can you put into 10 words or fewer how it felt when you realised you were heading to Bloodstock?
That’s easy: Ecstatic!
What sort of setlist can we expect?
Mostly we’ll be playing tracks from our Echoes of The Abyss album along with a few fan favourites.
Which other bands do you most hope you’re not squished up next to so you can see them play?
Fury, tribe of Ghosts, Sepultura and Megadeth, killswitch and I’m Flames are all on our watchlists!
What are you working on at the moment?
We’re currently working on our fourth album! We’ve got a new single coming out later on in the year called Rebirth Of A Greater God
What’s the wildest thing you’ve seen or done at a live show?
The crowdsurfing wheelchair at Bloodstock last time! Can’t wait to see that topped!
What drink do you throw back to get yourself fired up before going on stage?
A vodka tends to hit the spot!
