Sounds of the Underground
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sounds of the Underground tour was a festival-like tour that rivaled Ozzfest in its first year of existence (2005).
The tour features extreme metal and metalcore, and hardcore bands. The existence of this tour, which was held in national arenas, was to attract the rising interest of metal, hardcore, and metalcore bands in the mainstream. In December 2007, it was announced that the tour would no longer be held as it could not compete with Ozzfest and Rockstar Energy Drink's new tour scheduled to start sometime in the summer of 2008.[1]
