"Who has no idea who the fuck we are?" growls Gatecreeper frontman Chase Mason as he glowers over the throng gathered at Download's Dogtooth stage to see the Arizona death metallers cause a little late afternoon chaos. "Well, you're about to find out."
If there was anyone arriving that was still left in any doubt over Gatecreeper's standing as one of the very best things in modern death metal, such concerns are blown away courtesy of one of the weekend's most exciting and relentlessly full-on performances. The boys sound absolutely colossal, Eric Wagner's buzzsaw riffs peeling out with such ferocity you're surprised the tent isn't caving in as Mason sends fans circle pitting in multiple directions.
