Sounds Of The Underground DVD Info Revealed
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 2nd, 2005, and with it came almost 5000 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, which will hit streets on June 20th.
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).

MTV2 Headbangers Ball: The Revenge Details
MTV2 and Roadrunner Records have announced the release of the third installment in the successful series – MTV2 HEADBANGERS BALL: THE REVENGE. The low priced, double-disc is due in stores on April 11, 2006.
On the heels of the Gold certification of the first installment, MTV2 HEADBANGERS BALL, VOLUME 1 and the success with MTV2 HEADBANGERS BALL, VOLUME 2, MTV2 and Roadrunner Records once again set out to gather the very best in Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. The result is more than 2 1/2 hours of music on 2 CDs: disc one represents the strongest tracks from today's biggest rock bands, and disc two brings together the strongest up-and-comers from the underground rock scene.
In addition to the genre-defining anthems that represent the best of the show, there are enough rare and unreleased tracks to satisfy tastemaker metal fans as well. Packed with a total of 38 hard-charging tracks, this collection has 7 exclusive offerings. They include the Terry Date mix of Slipknot's "Before I Forget", and the live recording of Killswitch Engage's "A Bid Farewell", which both see their first CD release on this compilation. Other exclusives are brand new tracks from Hatebreed and Walls Of Jericho, both of which were written especially for this release (Hatebreed's lead vocalist, Jamey Jasta, is the host of the Headbangers Ball program on MTV2). A video for the Hatebreed track, entitled "To The Threshold", will air on video channels in March. A side project of Jasta's, Kingdom of Sorrow (which also includes members of Down, Crowbar and Seemless), also throws a brand new track into the ring. The compilation beat Dragonforce and 36 Crazyfists' record releases to the punch with fresh new tracks from these up-and-comers.

The massive run starts with a stint as direct support to Throwdown, then a batch of dates with Shadows Fall and finally the headlining tour. "We love touring," stated singer TJ Miller. "We can't wait to tour with two of our favorite bands Throwdown and Shadows Fall and we're super excited for the headlining tour where we can give our fans the full Still Remains experience."

The band just returned from the triumphant tour in the UK with Bullet For My Valentine, Hawthorne Heights and Aiden that got 5 stars from Kerrang Magazine. Says Miller, "The crowds night after night were awesome- massive circle pits, insane crowd surfing, fist pumping, sing-alongs where I couldn't even hear myself. I can't wait to see if the US crowds top that."
The tour with Throwdown, that will also feature The Red Chord and A Dozen Furies will start on February 4th in Flagstaff, AZ and run through February 21st in Des Moines, IA. The band will then drive to New Haven, CT on March 1st to meet up with Shadows Fall for five dates that will also include Agnostic Front and Byzantine.

Still Remains is TJ Miller (vocals), Evan Willey (bass), Jordan Whelan and Mike Church (guitars), Zach Roth (keyboards) and Adrian Greene aka "Bone" (drums). In 2004 the band independently released the EP If Love Was Born To Die. Since the release of Of Love and Lunacy the band has toured non-stop including stints with labelmates Trivium, 3 Inches of Blood and The Agony Scene and tours with Haste the Day, It Dies Today, Darkest Hour, Bullet For My Valentine, Aiden, Stretch Armstrong, Norma Jean, Scars of Tomorrow, Kane Hodder and more.

Their major touring plans for the start of 2006 include a headlining tour with support from THE RED CHORD, STILL REMAINS and A DOZEN FURIES, to be followed by a co-headlining tour with THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER.

Throwdown Preparing For Arch Enemy Tour
THROWDOWN have just wrapped up their national tour with SOULFLY. However not before THROWDOWN vocalist Dave Peters joined SOULFLY on stage in L.A., Tucson and Anaheim to perform some of his favorite SEPULTURA songs — "Refuse/Resist" and "Territory". Max Cavalera, who helms SOULFLY, was previously in SEPULTURA, which was a huge influence on countless metal and hardcore bands for their uncompromising brutality and outspokenness. THROWDOWN, who are also known for their hard-hitting brand of hardcore with metal elements, have been covering SEPULTURA's song "Roots Bloody Roots" for years.
Commented Peters: "We were sending a song out to Max every night, he invited me up to his bus to hang out and we talked about how THROWDOWN had been covering 'Roots Bloody Roots' for years and how people brought it up in interviews he had done. He thought it was strange but cool that a hardcore band was covering his songs. He joked about us playing the song and him singing it and it eventually turned into me doing one of my favorite SEPULTURA songs with them."
THROWDOWN, who hail from Orange County, CA, were in their home element when Peters joined SOULFLY on stage. "I felt like a child that got picked for the Make A Wish foundation. I came in too early the first night cause I was so nervous, which I felt dumb about considering I have known that song for thirteen years. It was pretty sweet watching Max play that song at the first Ozzfest in 1996 from 300 yards back to helping him play it a few feet away."
THROWDOWN tour dates w/ ARCH ENEMY and STRAPPING YOUNG LAD:
Dec. 12 - Cardiff, UK - Coal Exchange
Dec. 13 - Manchester, UK - MDH
Dec. 14 - Glasgow, UK - QMU
Dec. 15 - London, UK - The Forum
Dec. 16 - Wolverhampton, UK - Wolfun Hall
Dec. 18 - York, UK - Fibbers
Dec. 19 - Oxford, UK - Zodiac
Dec. 20 - London, UK - Barfly
36 Crazyfists Start New Album
36 Crazyfists' frontman, Brock Lindow has posted the following update on the band's site:
"Whats up everyone, hope all is well in your worlds.. It is the final week of practice before the long awaited start of our preproduction with producer Sal Villanueva..to say were excited is an understatement... We will be starting on the day after halloween, not sure what we are doing for halloween, but i think we should be pirates, and enter ourselves in a whiskey drinkin tournament... There's tons of good records out right now and Demon Hunter, Every Time I Die, Throwdown, Chimaira, and Matt Hopper are keeping my ears full of awesome new music, check them all out and support those bands if you can... Well, just wanted to let you all know that we are also working on a making of the record dvd with the new release so that should be a cool project when it's finished... Thanks to all of you as usual....respect.."
The Risk Taken Update and Guitarist Search
The Risk Taken have issued the following update about their guitarist situation and new album:
First of all, we want to acknowledge that our second guitarist Mark Choiniere has left our fold to join the ranks of Throwdown (this happened a couple months ago) and we wish him the best of luck in that endeavor. We have had for the past months Matt Fox of Shai Hulud noteriety filling in on guitar for us and he will likely be playing with us for the next month or so as we continue our search for a new guitarist. Interested candidates should be willing and able to tour a good bit out of the year, have their own gear and be moderatly capable at their instrument and all of the other crap every single band lists when posting something like this. Having past tour experience is a plus as well as living in the general Connecticut (or willing to relocate to) region. People can email us at therisktaken@hotmail.com.
Also we are currently working on our full-length album entitled "Colossus" which should be coming out early next year. Tracking has been going well and we are very pleased thus far. It's definitely a change for band sonically- signficantly darker and heavier but we assure you that you will not be let down. Think along the lines of Until Your Heart Stops era Cave In and His Hero Is Gone.

Sounds Of The Underground Report From Vancouver
On July 26, I got the chance to attend the Sounds of the Underground tour when they stopped in Vancouver, BC. The show was originally scheduled for the Pacific Coliseum but was moved to the PNE Forum, which is a lot smaller. My guess was that the ticket sales didn’t do very well. More...
