"I've always had a very close relationship with AC/DC growing up; they influenced me heavily and this will mean a great deal to me," Souza told BLABBERMOUTH.NET.
"I can't wait to go on stage and just have some fun, interact with the fans that love the same music that we all grew up on.
"We plan on putting on very entertaining, high-energy visual show as well as recording an album and being as true to the original music as we can be, but with a very metal edge.
"I love performing, and this is another just another side of me, paying tribute to one of the bands that helped define me as a singer."
AC/DZ is putting out an open audition call for a gifted guitar player (male or female) to play the role of Angus Young for future live performances. All applicants must be highly energized on stage and confident in this special role.
