LAZARUS has been hailed as “one of the quintessential metal bands of our time†by Kerrang! The staff at Germany’s Heavy magazine voted them one of 2007’s best unsigned bands and metalexpressradio.com said their 2007 debut, Episode One, “could have easily been sandwiched between Queensrÿche’s The Warning and Saxon’s Innocence Is No Excuse.†Their music is featured on Charvel® Guitars’ website and has garnered the attention of international publications and webzines such as Metal to Infinity, Sacred Metal, Hard Rocker, Rock It!, and Metal2Metal, all of whom put the band on par with the likes of Iron Maiden, Fates Warning, Dream Theater and Kamelot.
Led by vocalist Glenn DaGrossa, LAZARUS is the New York-based power metal band that burst onto the scene in 2007 with Episode One, a self-financed, independently released, six-song CD that muscled its way into the upper echelon of metal’s hierarchy on the sole merits of song craftsmanship and musicianship. Comprised of veteran musicians with deep pedigree, LAZARUS also includes guitarists Artie Dillon and Joe Todaro, drummer Nick D’Alessandro and bassist Freddy Villano.
Over the last year and a half, LAZARUS has developed into a heavyweight contender on the live circuit and is now one of the most popular direct-support bands for national acts in the Northeast. Kamelot, Winger, Symphony X, MSG, Dokken, Finntroll, Firehouse, Zebra, The Almighty, Crimson Glory, King Diamond, Fates Warning and Twisted Sister are just a few of the bands LAZARUS has had the privilege of sharing the stage with.
LAZARUS has risen. In the words of Jeremy Juliano at metalexpressradio.com: “Consider this your precursor to the next chapter of metal,†LAZARUS “is the real deal.â€
