Music like Lazarus A.D.

Lazarus A.D. was an American thrash/groove metal band from Kenosha, Wisconsin, originally formed as "Lazarus" in 2005. The "A.D." was added to avoid potential legal issues.

In 2007, they released their debut The Onslaught. The band sent the self-released album out to many known metal record labels. The labels turned the band down for a record deal. Later one of the songs off The Onslaught was added to a compilation album by Earache Records. Not long after, the album received positive reviews in metal underground and drew the attention of Metal Blade Records. The band landed a contract with Metal Blade and The Onslaught was re-released in 2009.

Their second studio album, Black Rivers Flow, was released on February 1, 2011, and the band embarked on the "North American Retribution Tour" after the release. The band's drummer Ryan Shutler died suddenly on May 17, 2015 in Sacramento, California.
