'Battle For Ozzfest' Finalists Announced: Video Preview Available

October 14, 2004

MTV.com has revealed the acts that will be featured in "Battle for Ozzfest", a new, weekly, unscripted series, chronicling the intense nationwide search for eight hard rock bands competing for the chance to perform on stage on Ozzfest's worldwide 10th Anniversary tour. In addition to the opportunity of a lifetime by sharing the stage with Ozzy Osbourne himself as well as other rock superstars, the winning band will receive touring money, brand new band gear and a possible record deal.

The eight groups that have been selected to compete for the prize are as follows:

A DOZEN FURIES
CYNDER
BEYOND ALL REASON
FINAL DRIVE
GUILT BY ASSOCIATION
TRAUMA CONCEPT
MANNTIS
SICKS DEEP

Video previews of all the above bands can be viewed at this location.

In the premiere episode, Sharon and Ozzy turn the competition upside-down as there's one big twist that the bands don't know about — and that's just a taste of things to come. To find out, watch the premiere of "Battle for Ozzfest" on MTV on Monday, October 25 at 10:30 p.m. (ET/PT).
