The Underground Titans Tour '92 Jul 30, 1992 (32 years ago) The Grand Hotel Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom
The Underground Titans Tour '92 was the brainchild of Nightlord guitarist Ferenc Collins and then Gomorrah guitarist Jose Griffin. Having seen the success of the Clash of the Titans tour featuring Megadeth, Slayer, Testament and Suicidal Tendencies which took these bands out of the club circuit and into major arenas, the idea was to take five unsigned but successful bands and take them from the usual pub circuit into the club circuit. Featuring a rotating bill of; Decomposed, Gomorrah, Incarcerated, Nightlord and The Reign the tour reached over 2000 people, culminating in a show at London's Marquee Club, and the tour is still universally recognised to this day as the first truly Underground Metal tour. The tour picked up considerable column inches in the only existing Heavy Metal publications of the day, Kerrang! and Metal Hammer, as well as a special article in The Sunday Times newspaper, exposure that was otherwise unheard of for unsigned bands at the time.
