The Sounds Of The Underground Tour Has Risen from the Underground
And will be taking over a city near you. In its first year, SOTU may rival Ozzfest for crowds this summer. The first dates of the tour in Lowell, MA and Philly hosted more then 8000 metal and hardcore fans, an incredible start to this nationwide jaunt.
Featured on the tour are nearly 20 bands a day including heavyweights Lamb of God, Clutch, Opeth, Poison The Well, From Autumn to Ashes, Unearth, Chimaira, GWAR, Norma Jean, Every Time I Die, Strapping Young Lad, Throwdown, All That Remains, Devil Driver, and A Life Once Lost:
The fans in attendance not only had a chance to witness eleven hours of pure powerful hardcore metal, but were also given the opportunity to meet the bands as meet and greets are held throughout the day in each bands tent. Fans get to meet their favorite players and get a chance to get autographs and purchase one of a kind merchandise.
We think Ray Mazzola, vocalist for Full Blown Chaos said it best “SOUNDS OF THE UNDERGROUND means a lot of things to a lot of people. For those of us in the bands who are involved with this tour, SOTU is a true testament of the strength, perseverance and ascension of hardcore, metal and all genres of heavy music.
