A DOZEN FURIES: 'Battle For Ozzfest' Winners Secure Spot On OZZFEST 2005

Dallas, TX-based A DOZEN FURIES beat out North Carolina's CYNDER (now CYN) in the "Battle for Ozzfest" finale to win a highly coveted tour spot on Ozzfest 2005, plus band gear and enough money to cover all their expenses. In addition, the band were presented with a recording contract from Sanctuary Records, which they are expected to sign before beginning work on their full-length debut.

Formed in late 2003, A DOZEN FURIES have recorded a self-produced EP ("Rip These Stars Down") and have toured extensively. A video of A DOZEN FURIES performing on the main stage of Ozzfest 2004 in Tampa can be viewed at this location.

Ironically, guitarist Marc Serrano, who was chosen to represent A DOZEN FURIES in the "Battle for Ozzfest" competition, had previously performed at Ozzfest 2003 as part of the now-defunct former Maverick recording artists UNLOCO — a fact that was never mentioned on the show.
