'Sounds Of The Underground Live: Volume 1' DVD Due In June

May 15, 2006

The e-card for the "Sounds of the Underground Live: Volume 1" DVD is now online, and features a three-minute teaser of all the live footage and backstage chaos from the DVD. The teaser is available at this location. CLUTCH and GWAR live clips from the DVD will be added shortly.

Last year marked the inaugural Sounds of the Underground tour, which saw 17 of the best and most brutal metal acts around traverse the U.S. and Canada in what proved to be a very successful alternative to the more commercial Ozzfest. The tour hit the parking lot of the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ on July 2, 2005, and with it came almost 5,000 fans. Metal bands like A LIFE ONCE ONCE LOST and STRAPPING YOUNG LAD hammered out their sets alongside hardcore acts like MADBALL and THROWDOWN in the sweltering 95+ degree midday heat. As the sun began to set, stalwarts like CHIMAIRA, POISON THE WELL and FROM AUTUMN TO ASHES played well into the darkness. All of the passion and power of that day is captured in "Sounds of the Underground Live: Vol. 1".

DRT Entertainment will be releasing the DVD which documents the day's festivities, complete with performances from 16 of the 17 artists who participated in the tour. Along with over 90 minutes of performance footage, the DVD also features vignettes on every band on the tour, along with a host of hilarious "guest interview" segments from members of GWAR, EVERY TIME I DIE and THROWDOWN. The DVD was filmed by Doug Spangenberg of Highroller Studios (LAMB OF GOD's "Killadelphia").
