10 Bands You Need To See At Download Festival 2017
7. Lost Society
A criminally underrated thrash prodigy from Finland, Lost Society will viciously attack the Dog Tooth Stage on the Friday to unleash their signature barrage of pummeling speed metal that turned heads towards the group at an appropriate pace.
The young men of Lost Society were just 18 when they signed their first worldwide record deal with Nuclear Blast - and since then have hit a critical peak with their latest opus Braindead (2016) and a massive European tour with thrash icons Exodus (who will be headlining the Dog Tooth Stage the same day).
And during that Exodus trek, Lost Society were basically unstoppable, working crowds continent-wide into an unbridled flurry of head-banging and moshing. Imagine that level of intense, unfiltered anarchy at a festival as bustling as Download.
People will probably die.
But, hey, that's all part of the fun, right?
