Anuryzm is a progressive heavy metal band, based in the United Arab Emirates, featuring contributors from a wide variety of backgrounds and nationalities.
Anuryzm is a project created by Canadian guitarist John Bakhos in 2003 as a means to branch out from his background in extreme metal in favor of progressive heavy metal music. In 2010, after returning to the United Arab Emirates, Bakhos reconnected with British vocalist Nadeem Michel Bibby and forged the recording incarnation of Anuryzm.
The band independently released their debut album Worm's Eye View in 2011. It featured guest performances by Martin Lopez (Soen, Opeth, Amon Amarth) on drums and by Uri Dijk (Textures, Ethereal), who performed synths on one track. The album was subsequently re-released in 2012 in the United States via Melodic Revolution Records, and in Japan via Asian Rock Rising. The album cycle also saw the recruitment of additional members for live performances.
Throughout 2012 and 2013, the band performed as guests for acts including Nightwish, Epica, Dark Tranquillity, Avenged Sevenfold, and Yngwie Malmsteen.
As part of a one–off show during the recording of the band's second album, Anuryzm performed as special guests to Black Sabbath at the Du Arena, Abu Dhabi, on the Middle Eastern stopover of their world tour. [1]
