Fans of a certain era of metal will be pleased to see additions including Static-X, Fear Factory and a well-known Max Cavalera side project. Here's the current splits taking place across August 7-11 2025 and if there are still tickets left to attend this year's festival. The other metal festival set to take place in Derbyshire has revealed its stage splits ahead of this year's Bloodstock 2025 at Catton Park, Walton-On-Trent in August. Spanning four days, this year's festival will be headlined by Trivium (a constant rumour of a secret set at Download 2025), Machine Head, and Gojira, but fans of '00s metal are also in for quite the treat this year. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Scanning through the stage splits, a couple of names certainly caught my eye as 'an old-school soldier [bouncing] in the mosh pit,' to quote Fred Durst. Along with Static-X headlining the Sophie Lancaster Stage on Saturday, featuring the enigmatic Xer0 taking over lead vocal duties after the death of Wayne Static in 2014, and Fear Factory (sans Burton C. Bell) playing on the Ronnie James Dio Stage also on the Saturday, one of Max Cavalera's more curious side-projects rides again. Stage splits have been revealed ahead of Bloodstock 2025, with Max Cavelera's one-time project Nailbomb announced as part of this year's line-up. |Nailbomb, set to perform on the Sophie Lancaster Stage on Friday evening, is the electronic-infused metal project Cavalera set up alongside former Fudge Tunnel guitarist and in-demand producer Alex Newport. The group released one album in 1994, Point Blank, and performed one festival appearance during their heyday – 1995's Dynamo Festival – which was released as their second and final work, Proud To Commit Commercial Suicide. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But in August 2024, Nailbomb performed for the first time in 20 years at the Marquee Theatre in Temple, Arizona with Cavalera joined by his son Igor and Travis Stone both on guitar, bassist Johny Chow, sampler Alex Cha and drummer Adam Jarvis. Quite the nostalgia trip for fans of metal back in the day, but who is potentially clashing with whom this year, and are there still tickets to attend Bloodstock, with less than a month to go?

Asim Munir's latest anti-India rant vindicates Modi govt's decision to not end Operation Sindoor
Published on Jun 30, 2025 04:05 PM IST In this episode of Point Blank, Hindustan Times Executive Editor Shishir Gupta gives an analysis of recent statements by Pakistan's Field Marshal Asim Munir. The Pakistan army chief, during a speech at the Pakistan Naval Academy, characterized what India calls terrorism as a 'legitimate struggle' under international conventions. The discussion highlights how such statements are nothing but dog-whistling to extremist elements targeting India, especially in Kashmir. The show delves into India-U.S. relations and why Pakistan is not even a factor when it comes to ties between the world's largest democracies. Watch this video for all the details.

Bob Dylan returns with a surprising new release
In 2022, when Bob Dylan was performing across the United States and Europe, he was also quietly making art, sketching landscapes, portraits and still lifes. In November, Simon & Schuster will publish those drawings and others in an oversize art book, Point Blank (Quick Studies). The nearly 100 black-and-white drawings were created in 2021 and 2022 and will be paired with prose vignettes by writers Lucy Sante and Jackie Hamilton, and producer Eddie Gorodetsky, who worked with Dylan on his radio show and his 2022 book The Philosophy of Modern Song. Many of the drawings depict everyday objects and scenes: a roll of Scotch tape, a karaoke singer, a pair of roller skaters, a suit of armor, a suspension bridge. 'There's a melancholy to them which is quite beautiful, but it's not without a hopefulness and humour,' said Sean Manning, Simon & Schuster's vice president and publisher. For decades, Dylan kept his artwork private; he didn't display it publicly until about 2007. Since then, he's had exhibitions at galleries and museums around the world, including in New York, London and Shanghai, and has released other art books, including The Drawn Blank Series, which was published in 2008. Reviews have been mixed. 'His attempts at being a visual artist have gone from bad to worse,' New York Times art critic Roberta Smith wrote about a 2012 exhibition of his paintings at Gagosian Gallery in New York. In a laudatory review in The Guardian of a 2016 show at the Halcyon Gallery in London, critic Jonathan Jones praised Dylan as more than just a dabbler: 'This guy can look. His drawings are intricate, sincere, charged with curiosity.' A current exhibit of Dylan's art is on display through July 6 at the Halcyon Gallery. The collection, also titled Point Blank, features paintings based on drawings that are included in the forthcoming book. To coincide with the release of Point Blank, Simon & Schuster is also releasing a newly recorded, unabridged audiobook of Dylan's 2004 memoir, Chronicles: Volume I, narrated by actor Sean Penn. It runs to 10 hours – twice as long as the earlier version, also narrated by Penn.

Time Crisis lightgun console smashes Kickstarter goal within hours
A new console makes arcade classics like Time Crisis and Point Blank playable on modern TVs, and it comes with an actual lightgun. Despite various console ports over the years, lightgun games like Time Crisis and The House Of The Dead have largely faded into obscurity as a relic of the 1990s. The genre had a brief resurgence on the Wii, with titles like Link's Crossbow Training and Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles making use of the Wii Remote's pointer controls, but even these didn't quite capture the same satisfaction of using a lightgun in the arcades. However, if you want to replicate the experience at home without laying down the cash for a pricey arcade cabinet, an alternative has recently launched on Kickstarter. A new console, named G'AIM'E, essentially makes the lightgun experience compatible with modern TVs. It comes with a console, a bespoke lightgun controller, and a 'custom licensed' version of Time Crisis which has been 'faithfully recreated from the original arcade ROM'. 'The G'AIM'E gun uses our own bespoke technology that utilises a high-resolution camera and AI; in place of the traditional infrared used in lightgun of the past,' the description reads. It's claimed the use of AI technology allows players 'to move freely without affecting the guns calibration' by automatically detecting and adjusting to your TV, with the promise of 'smooth, accurate gameplay from various angles and distances'. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. G'AIM'E HAS GONE INTO PRE-LAUNCH ON KICKSTARTER TODAY 🥳Don't miss your chance to grab exclusive rewards available only on Kickstarter: Exclusive Keychain – A special gift for all backersEarly Bird Discount – Limited quantities availableClick 'Notify me on launch' to be… — G'AIM'E (@MyGAIME) June 4, 2025 There are some caveats to be aware of though. This version of Time Crisis is single-player only, and the product's basic package, which costs around £74 without shipping, doesn't include a foot pedal. If you want a multiplayer experience and a foot pedal, you'll have to purchase either the premium or ultimate edition. The £101 premium version comes with everything in the basic package along with a pedal and three additional games which all support two players; Point Blank, Steel Gunner, and Steel Gunner 2. The ultimate edition, which costs around £151, adds an additional lightgun and a required AC adapter, which you'd have to buy separately (or use one you already have) if you pick up the other editions. As noted on the FAQ page, the console won't be updated with additional games in the future either, so it's a fairly expensive package for essentially four old games. More Trending Despite this, the Kickstarter page surpassed its £35,470 goal within hours. At the time of writing, a day after the page went live on Tuesday, June 24, the amount pledged has reached over £239,000, with 59 days still left to go until it closes on Saturday, August 23. If you decide to take the plunge, delivery is expected in November 2025 according to the Kickstarter page. The console's Japan-based creators, Tassei Denki Corporation, have also been given approval by Bandai Namco, so it's all above board. The last mainline Time Crisis game was 2015's Time Crisis 5, which is the only entry not to receive a console port. Email gamecentral@ leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter.
