After playing Sounds of the Underground for two years in a row in a mid-afternoon slot, the scumdogs of the universe, GWAR, will return this year to slaughter the masses at the end of the day. That’s right, GWAR will headline the festival.Three other bands will rotate in the co-headline slot: Chimaira, Every Time I Die and a group not yet announced. Since GWAR were in Antarctica chewing the bones off their fresh kill at press time, here’s what Chimaira singer Mark Hunter had to say about SOTU. “We played the first year of Sounds of the Underground and we had a blast,” he said. “This year we are going to up the production level and bring something special to our fans. Then we will get wasted every night with ETID and GWAR. See you this summer.”
Other bands on the bill include, Darkest Hour, Amon Amarth, The Acacia Strain, Goatwhore, The Devil Wears Prada, This is Hell, Necro, 2 Cents, Heavy Heavy Low Low and The Number Twelve Looks Like You. Additional special guests will join the tour on select dates. Sounds of the Underground will Launch July 6 in Dallas and run through August 8 in Denver. Tickets will be available for presale starting April 25 at the festival’s Web site and will go onsale everywhere May 11.
