New Zealand’s DAWN OF AZAZEL have been confirmed as the main support act for Deicide’s upcoming New Zealand / Australian tour. "We are extremely honoured to be supporting Deicide on this tour", said frontmand Rigel Walshe. "Deicide is one of our strongest influences and one of the key bands that drew us all to the extreme end of metal when we were teenagers, so to be supporting them on this tour definitely is a tremendous accomplishment in our eyes and gives a sense of things coming full circle to be playing to their fans throughout Australia." Prior to supporting Deicide, DAWN OF AZAZEL will play two shows with Skinless in November. The band’s latest album "Sedition" was re-released in September with a video bonus track and distributed through RED / Megaforce Records / MIC via Ibex Moon Records. "Sedition" is also now available for download online through Itunes and mailorder through CD Universe. Since completing a Spring North American tour with Incantation and Vital Remains, Dawn of Azazel has been working on new material for the follow-up to "Sedition". "We have already created four new tracks and we feel confident that this material will easily surpass our previous material in aggression, speed, and originality", said Walshe. "We aim to have another four by the end of January 2007, when we will begin the process of perfecting this material for recording late in 2007."
