The pair of Amy Love and Georgia South have mixed the heavy, raucous energy of punk and grunge with the urban sounds of grime and hip-hop that are more associated with their South London roots and it works impressively well. It might be getting a bit old by now, hearing us bang on about it, but CLUTCH are good and damn near almost approaching legend status in the pantheon of heavy music. Whilst not even close to being their best showing, the band still navigated through some of most infectiously fun rock songs punters will hear all weekend.
Book of Bad Decisions made up the majority of the set, with a large portion of the of the 11 songs coming from the new record, with a few landing as instant classics already. Their musical maelstrom of sludge-tinged riffing from guitarits Dan Nightingale and Brady Deeprose are absolutely earth-shattering whilst bassist Conor Marshall will surely be wearing a neckbrace after relentlessly headbanging throughout their time on stage.
Their departure from their death metal roots may have annoyed some, but judging from the size of the crowd OPETH have gathered, it would appear most are happy by the sound shift. The addition of jazz and blues as a focus of the band means that now longtime set opener Sorceress still covers the audience in a hushed captivation before the Swedish legends take the Zippo Encore Stage through some choice cuts from their most memorable outings.

As the baleful Paranoid brought Download to a close, it appeared that the original metal monsters are still the best. Man, that was an unbelievable feeling tonight. It is what makes the other 22 hours in a day worthwhile. Cheers all.
