09) Azaab to introduce new lineup on May Canadian tour:
Islamabad’s death metal band, Azaab, have announced they will introduce their latest lineup on their May Canadian tour. The departure of their original vocalist and bassist prompted the search for replacements, leading them to Hassan Munir (vocals) and Sid (bass) in Toronto, Canada. The tour marks a fresh chapter for the group.
The band comments:
“After much planning and anticipation, we’re excited to announce that we will be hitting the road across Canada this May! Canada seemed like the obvious choice for our first tour since 2 out of 4 band members are based in Canada. Tyson Blaste (Plague. Becomes Astral, ex-Grindmother, ex-TheApex) is filling in on drums for this tour which makes it 3/5. I think it’s safe to say that the Azaab HQ has moved from Islamabad to Ontario. Other than that Canada has an amazing metal scene and we couldn’t be happier with playing live there.”
