Mud. It may not be what you wanted, but it's what you got. Lots of it. Probably more than you've ever seen before. The weather was a definite downer on the show. Granted, at least it wasn't scorching hot. The (final) lineup this year was a bit lackluster, depending on what kind of metal you're into. Lots of technical death (great if you're into it), and headliners that would have been a supporting act had any bigger name bands been available. It was unfortunate that Lamb of God didn't make it, but understandable with he whole Czech prison fiasco. It was also too bad that they took Dethklok away with them. It was ok overall, but paled in comparison to last year's lineup. Only the 2nd year for this festival, so it seems like it's still finding it's feet.

Despite the awful muddy sea that was the venue, every band put on a spectacular show. I was highly disappointed that Summer Slaughter was mashed together with Heavy T.O. initially, because I mainly went to see Between the Buried and Me. They were headlining SS, but because the two festivals were combined, their set was condensed to half an hour. Anyone who knows BTBAM, knows it is madness to provide them with only 30 minutes. Other than that, combining SS with Heavy T.O. did allow me the opportunity to fulfill my childhood dream of seeing System of a Down, and that was sublime. The crowd was incredible.

Bands were amazing, especially Suicidal, Slipknot and System!!!
Able to find delicious vegetarian food this year.

Hate the waste involved. I would love to buy a reusable Heavy TO cup and be served draught beer.

Should go back to allowing unopened bottle of water or provide a water station. $4-$6 bucks for water, not cool.

Definitely can't wait 'til next year!

We travelled a long way and spent a lot of money to get there, but it was all well spent. The acts were all fantastic and the venue was great! Now if only they would let us bring in water we would be set!

Although Saturday was a little soggy, the show was definitely worth taking in. The crowd braved the mud and the rain to show their love of metal. The bands put on a good show - each one taking the stage on time.

What an awesome time!! Despite the weather the day was incredible. Bands were great and sound was sharp. As always the crowd was amazing and fun! Made some friends. Band lineup was much better this year than last year. Can't go wrong with Slipknot, System of a Down and Five Finger Death Punch! It was unfortunate Lamb of God could not make it but know that Randy would have if he could. All in all and amazing event!

This is Toronto's metal and hard rock festival. Everything is as expected. Which is great. They could've spent more on wood chips though as it was really muddy. It's like the entire place is an ocean of slippery and inches-thick mud.

Awesome concert, some of the line-up orders brought down the tempo. Also, way to muddy, not enough preparation for weather conditions.

Show was amazing though, all that talent under 1 fest, truly epic!

A weekend of Metal in the mud at Downsview Park was a spectacular way of spending the weekend moshin out to some of the best Heavy Metal bands in the world. Many people took in the Saturday conditions to have some extra fun, and the left over mud Sunday gave more opportunity.
A definite excellent weekend for metal heads, and for new metal heads to experience.

WIDE variety of bands... Enjoyed every minute of this weekend! (rain and mud and all!)

My husband and I went in 2011, and decided this year to try the Platinum Lounge Passes... totally worth it. We didn't STAY in the lounge all day, but the bathrooms, beer and food vendors and a dry/mud free place to stand and sit were appreciated. We went with a group of about 12 people but we were the only ones to shell out the extra $$... We'll definitely buy this package again next year.

All the bands brought they're A game, The whole venue was covered in mud before the first band started. There were way too many rules for a metal festival ( no re-entry.... what do i do with autographed posters? I WANT TO MOSH) and there were 2 huge dividers in the crowd, which really sucked, even Corpse Grinder fisher pointed that out.beer was expensive as hell (8 bucks each) beside the obvious flaws, it was an amazing and surreal weekend, i met most of my favorite bands that were playing

Even though it was extremely muddy and the weather wasn't the greatest my entire weekend was awesome. The mud almost made it more fun and the cooler temperatures made the large crowds more bearable. The bands were great for the most part. Marilyn Manson didn't put on a good show in my opinion. Slipknots performance was awesome and consistent with every other time I've seen them. SYSTEM OF A DOWN was insanely awesome and was most definitely the highlight of my weekend.
