HateBreed        

Hatebreed is one of the most down to earth bands you're ever most likely to come across.  After their van broke down on a tour with Soulfly, the entire band had to sit in the back of a pick up truck for the remainder of the ride, because if they were to miss one more show they are of the show.  Hatebreed was the band almost every one wanted to see on 2nd stage this year. 

Ill Nino

Latin soul inspired grooves mixed up metal angst.  In a short time Ill Nino managed to pull together a very dedicated fan base and stand to make a killing at Ozzfest 2002.  

Full on bone shattering metal, Flaw is the band most likely to have the Ozzfest's moshpit in hysterics, as they flip flop between hypnotically light tunes and the ones to injure your neighbors.

Soil

Soil is a band that clearly this is one of those bands that grabs you by the throat and just doesn't want to let go.  Their debut album lets them be on second stage but one of the most anticipated in my case. 

By now perhaps you've heard of the band know as Pulse Ultra.  After all they've completed a crowed-pleasing run at Ozzfest 2002 and their debut album, Headspace.  Pulse Ultra is a band that has great every thing good vocals, drummer, guitar, and bass player.  This band caught my eye at Ozzfest this year when their bass player went in the crowed and slapped a guy who was booing them.
