Sounds of the Underground

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. On July 2nd, 2005, the tour hit the parking lot of the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ, and with it came almost 5,000 fans.

Metal bands like DevilDriver, A Life 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 their passion and power is captured in the Sounds of the Underground Live: Volume 1 DVD.

So check out this ECARD featuring 3-minute teaser of all the live footage and backstage chaos you'll find on the DVD, coming to stores June 20th.
