Geared toward metal and hardcore music fans, the "Taste of Chaos" tour features many musical acts including the Deftones, Story of the Year, Atreyu, Funeral For A Friend, Thrice and As I Lay Dying. Phil Sgrosso, guitarist for the metal band As I laying Dying, said he was excited about "Taste of Chaos." "It's mostly for the kids," Sgrosso said of performing on tour, DeftoneS "When kids are going crazy and singing along to our songs, that kind of pumps us up to keep the energy going." As I Lay Dying was formed in 2001. Sgrosso, who replaced original guitarist Evan White, defines their sound as being aggressive metal. "My dad is the main reason I'm into music," Sgrosso said. "He kind of forced me into it when I was 10." In addition to his father, Sgrosso cites bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica as his major influences. Without these bands, Sgrosso said something like the "Taste of Chaos" tour would not exist.

"It was a good show, but I don't like the story of the Year band Thrice." "Taste of Chaos" organizers have invited many bands to perform, and they all fit under the metal and hardcore genre.
