With Ozzfest seemingly being the grand daddy of all metal summer festivals SOUNDS OF THE UNDERGROUND may soon just give’em a run for their money. Still in it’s early incarnation this festival in its short lived life has been a virtual breeding ground for the more “Real” underground fan. Now you can capture this sweaty, dirty and down right brutal parking lot thrash fest in the comforts of your own crib. All the mayhem and brash sounds of some of undergrounds most respected artists are included in the awesome DVD release that’s sure to bring dreadful pain to our home speakers. Killer highlights include some great performances from Lamb of God, Strapping Young Lad, Gwar and of course Clutch. Live performances from Unearth, DevilDriver, High on Fire, Throwdown, and Chimaira add even more bang for your hard earned buck. ‘Up From The Underground’ also features some great crowd views from the sweltering 95+ temps of NJ’s Starland Ballroom Parking Lot and just about every thing you would want to see from behind the scenes of Sounds Of The Underground. Kudos goes out to film maker Doug Spangenberg (Lamb of God’s Killadelphia) for making this a true DVD experience for any true underground music fan. Be sure to catch this awesome tour when it hits your city, you won’t be sorry.
