Brotherhood, a local heavy metal band, is up for an opportunity to play Ozzfest this year.
The group is an intense metal-core act from San Antonio and their influences include Hatebreed, Shadows Fall, Chimaira and Pantera.
Their resume includes playing with such groups as Earth Crisis, Despised Icon, Job For a Cowboy, and Suicide Silence.
Brotherhood was recently featured in the Raw Talent section of the April 2005 issue of Revolver. The band has also secured a Sam Ash music store sponsorship. They were also profiled in the recent issue of The Edge and the Current.
The band - Rod, Mikey, Alex, Dave, Brent - needs their fans' help by visiting the group's www.myspace.com/brotherhood and voting online to have the band play at Ozzfest 2008.
According to Rod's father Rod Nichols Sr., who used to play in several San Antonio bands himself, the band is excited about the opportunity.
"They are a metal band, very strong stage presence and do mainly their own material. I don't pretend to know much about this style of music, but I've been to some of their shows and they are impressive and strong. They have a strong underground following and have been together for years."
