Where is that taking place?

Slayer are a Sonisphere exclusive, apparently, btw.

Behemoth could play low down the bill, but I they're doing Bloodstock this year so I'm not sure if they'll be allowed to do Download too.

Mastodon would be class, even if they're kind of wasted on a big stage. I spoke to Troy after their Nottingham gig in March and he wasn't sure about Download. Kind of sounded like they'd had an offer but probably weren't going to play.

Behemoth aren't a Bloodstock exclusive, I think. However I'm sure I've read somewhere (possibly the Damnation Festival forums), that they asked to play and were turned away. If that's true, then what the hell is Copping playing at? They've been one of the breakthrough bands in the metal scene in the past year and he'd be an idiot to turn them away. They could put on at least a decent sub-headline third stage performance. On top of that, 'Evangelion' was one of the best albums of last year. Without a doubt. I reckon they could get a decent crowd.

In any event, even though they're playing Sweden Rock, I've got a sinking feeling about their chances of playing Download this year, the same one I had in 2008 when Ministry could've easily played, given the gap in their schedule (correct me if I'm wrong) - but appeared to be overlooked for some of the other tosh they put on that year.

I got the Rise to Remain EP and it seems pretty good, it's quite odd as it's like metalcore with normalish vocals, impression first 4 songs for a new bands though. Obviously wouldn't be on the bill if the singers dad wasn't in Iron Maiden though lol. Still I'll be checking them out , albeit the Saturday seems albsolute tripe for me until Deftones anyway...

[jammy2211]

i got the ep too but i binned it i hate screamo bands or death metal,t in the park bagged rise against and biffy its a shame download didnt get them cos they wont be appreciated at t in the park

As would afi obviously.

And I'm gonna say the beatsteaks again.
