Tuesday 21st August, 2012

At the forefront of the Middle Eastern metal scene are Dubai based metallers ANURYZM, who have recently released a guitar tutorial video for their track 'Wide Awake', taken from the debut album, 'Worm's Eye View'.
Comments guitarist John Bakhos: "As a band we place the focus of our songwriting on strong guitar-led tracks. Our influences include guitar legends such as Dimebag Darrell, Slash, Rudolf Schenker, Jimi Hendrix, Marty Friedman, John Petrucci, Alex Lifeson, Brian May and Mark Tremonti. These are musicians that have revolutionised the way that the guitar is played and have used their skills to create music that withstands the test of time. As a band, we try to create music with this mindset."
ANURYZM's debut album 'Worm's Eye View' was released by Melodic Revolution Records on July 17th and over the course of 8 tracks, is a heart-stirring journey that seamlessly blends metal, progressive, and jazz leanings into an ever-changing musical illustration. Featuring guest appearances from Martin Lopez (Soen, Opeth, Amon Amarth), jazz bassist Rami Lakkis and synth player Uri Dijk (Textures, Ethereal), the album was produced by John Bakhos & Miltiadis Kyvernitis at MNK studios and mixed, mastered by Miltiadis Kyvernitis. Drums were recorded by Martin Lopez in Sweden.
The band also recently released a promotional video for their track, 'Breaking the Ballot' which can be viewed below.
Worm's Eye View is out now and is available via Melodic Revolution Records or from all good online retailers.
"Throughout “Worms Eye View,” song structures are seamlessly interlinked, time changes and moods negotiated effortlessly, Porcupine Tree and, especially Opeth influences apparent." - Mudkiss, Album of the Month
"Worms Eye View is a brilliant album. Anuryzm sits alongside Sons of Asena in the 'deserve to be massive' genre, and if they can recreate this quality of music at their live shows there is no justifiable reason that they won't become a formidable force in metal." - Metal As Fuck
"Anuryzm proves itself to be in full control of balancing musical prowess and songwriting, forging it all into a listening experience that should appeal to a large crowd." - Metality UAE
