LAZARUS A.D. Forced To Drop Off 'Baptized In Beer' Tour
July 30, 2009Kenosha, Wisconsin-based thrashers LAZARUS A.D. have been forced to pull out of the final four dates on the "Baptized in Beer" tour with BISON B.C. "due to an accident." LAZARUS A.D. says in a statement, "Unfortunately, Dan Gapen [guitar, vocals] broke his hand last night in Vegas and will not be able to play the remaining shows. We apologize and look forward to seeing you all on the next tour."
Affected dates:
Jul. 30 - Anaheim, CA @ Chain Reaction
Jul. 31 - San Jose, CA @ Voodoo Lounge
Aug. 01 - Portland, OR @ Ash St Saloon
Aug. 02 - Seattle, WA @ El Corazon
LAZARUS A.D. shot a video for the song "Thou Shall Not Fear" in the "storied and (supposedly) haunted Eagle's Ballroom in Milwaukee, Wisconsin."
"Thou Shall Not Fear" comes off LAZARUS A.D.'s debut album, "The Onslaught", which was released on March 3 via Metal Blade Records.
Originally known simply as LAZARUS, the band has been pummeling audiences with their brand of modern thrash since the spring of 2005. Have no doubts that LAZARUS A.D. is a thrash band, but merely in attitude as their sound is no simple throwback to the '80s Bay Area sound. They breathe a breath of fresh air into modern thrash with intelligent, memorable riffs, mid-tempo grooves, and high-flying solos.
In January of 2007, the band recorded "The Onslaught" with Chris Djuricic (SOIL, NOVEMBERS DOOM, MICHAEL ANGELO BATIO) at Studio One. James Murphy (ex-DEATH, TESTAMENT) handled mastering duties and remixed the album for its worldwide release via Metal Blade Records.
LAZARUS A.D. is:
Dan Gapen - Lead Guitar/Vocals
Jeff Paulick - Bass/Lead Vocals
Alex Lackner - Rhythm Guitar
Ryan Shutler - Drums
