Around a year ago they updated their facebook page claiming no new music was being worked on because of the members being busy with other ventures. With that in mind, i have removed any reference of the band disbanding in 2015, as there is no proof of that.).

Lazarus A.D. is a thrash metal band from Kenosha, Wisconsin,[1] originally formed as "Lazarus" in 2005. The "A.D." was added to avoid potential legal issues.

History

In 2007, they released 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 rave 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.[2]

Their third studio album, Black Rivers Flow, was released on February 1, 2011,[citation needed] and the band embarked on the "North American Retribution Tour" after the release.[citation needed] The lead single from Black Rivers Flow, "The Ultimate Sacrifice," debuted on Sirius Satellite's Liquid Metal, and now is also available on the Metal Blade record label website.[citation needed] Lazarus A.D. Drummer Ryan Shutler died suddenly on May 17, 2015 in Sacramento, California.[3]
