DAWN OF AZAZEL To Support MOTÖRHEAD In New Zealand.
Kiwi death metallers DAWN OF AZAZEL have announced they will play their first show since returning from a European tour in June. The band will support MOTÖRHEAD at their only New Zealand show this October.
Frontman Rigel Walshe has released this statement: "Well, things have been uncharacteristically quiet in the DAWN OF AZAZEL camp lately. Since returning from a killer tour of Europe with IMMOLATION, KRISIUN, GRAVE and LENG TCH'E we have been hard at work on material for our next album. Progress has been great and we are fully confident this will represent the next stage of evolution in the sound of stronger, tighter and more focused DAWN OF AZAZEL. We anticipate this should be completed by the end of the year."
"In the meantime we are honoured to announce that we will be supporting yet another metal legend that we count amongst our influences, none other than the mighty MOTÖRHEAD on their only New Zealand show on October the 19th at New Plymouth's TSB Stadium. Shortly after this we shall be announcing our third Australian tour for 'Sedition' in support of one of extreme metal's strongest names."
'Sedition' was released in October 2005 in New Zealand on the band's own Extreme Imprints label, and through Ibex Moon Records in February 2006 in the US and Europe.
