Landmvrks
I've only been listening to Landmvrks for a few months, I got onto them when one of my friends started playing them for me in his car. They were on early in the day but they still had a great crowd come out to see them and sang along to every song. It was a brilliant atmosphere and I had such a great time watching them. I’d love to see them again.

Babymetal
Another band I got to see for the first time at this Download, I was very excited to get to see them and they put on an awesome set. They opened with “BABYMETAL DEATH”, the band set an immediate tone of ritualistic drama before diving into a fast‑paced run of fan favourites including “Distortion,” “PA PA YA,” “RATATATA,” “Gimme Chocolate!!” and “Road of Resistance.”
Just like Electric Callboy the day before, when they performed Ratatata they had their counterparts, Electric Callboy, on the screens to sing their parts while Babyetal were on stage.

We were wandering around and decided to get a good place for Architects and got to check out Behemoth. I haven’t listened to them before I saw them and I really got into their set. I loved the dark theatric music, make-up and performance. I found it so fascinating to watch.

Architects
Even though their set had a lot of interruptions by security, which not only irritated the band but the crowd too, Architects put on an outstanding set. They came out on stage to a very eager crowd who erupted into cheering and screaming the second they were spotted by their fans.
I made the mistake of going to the toilet at the beginning of the set. I tried to get back to my friend Carmen but I couldn’t find her in the sea of fans but I did get adopted by 3 people who I got talking to. I loved standing with them because they were huge Architects fans and it was great to hear them singing along to every song.
I only knew a few of the songs but I had an awesome time watching their set and feeding off the amazing energy from the band. I was so happy when they got to play their whole set, They were meant to finish at 9pm but kept going to make up the time I thought they were going to lose because of the interruptions.
During their song "Braindead," Florent Salfati, the singer from Landmvrks came out on stage to sing together and I’m not joking when I say everyone lost their shit hahaha. It was brilliant, everyone loved it, I wish he’d done another song with them but it was just the one song.

I missed most of the set seeing as I was watching Architects, what I did see was while I was walking to the Apex Stage from the Opex Stage and I didn’t like what I was hearing. The music sounded good but Axle Rose just doesn’t have the same voice anymore. It’s not surprising because of how old he is and being a singer for so many years, it’s taken a toll on his voice. Which is why I decided to not stay and watch.
I saw them back in 2002 and would rather keep those memories than have ones of a bad performance.
