From information gleaned from reliable sources, the latest 18 bands to be announced for Download this year include the following:

HATEBREED, A DAY TO REMEMBER, IN THIS MOMENT, THERAPY?, GOD FORBID, BACKYARD BABIES, HOSTILE, MIDDLE CLASS RUT, NO AMERICANA, ESTOERICA, SUICIDE SILENCE, TIM ‘RIPPER OWENS’, VOIVOD, SYLOSIS, TURBO WOLF, WE ARE THE OCEAN and MAN RAZE

A band that stands out to us here at Necromag, along side such big names as Backyard Babies, God Forbid and Hatebreed is the announcement of Esoterica’s addition to the bill.

We featured Esoterica back in September last year, and so, are looking forward to seizing the opportunity to see the UK hard rock quartet show their stuff on the big stage.

In the coming weeks, expect features on some of the best names on the bill and a special festival warm up podcast.
