🎸 From precision to chaos! We catch up with James Monteith – guitarist for TesseracT and Cage Fight, PR powerhouse, and all-round metal multitasker – backstage at Bloodstock Festival.

In this laugh-filled chat, James talks about:

The wild energy of Cage Fight’s Bloodstock set (circle pits within seconds!)

Balancing the regimented precision of TesseracT with Cage Fight’s glorious chaos

Touring plans with both bands – including Cage Fight’s final tour with Svalbard and new album plans for 2026

Upcoming TesseracT writing sessions for new music in the new year

Why fan-heavy festivals like Bloodstock, ArcTanGent, and 2000 Trees are his favourites

The unique challenge of switching mindsets between two very different bands

Proudly repping the bands he works with, including Harriöt and Lowdown

It’s part gear talk, part festival buzz, and part comedy roast — proof that James brings good humour and good riffs in equal measure.
