Anuryzm is a progressive heavy metal band, based between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, with members from a wide variety of backgrounds and nationalities; officially formed in 2010.
Anuryzm was formed by lead guitarist and main composer John Bakhos in 2003 as a means to branch out from his background in extreme metal to play progressive heavy metal music. In 2010, after returning to the United Arab Emirates, John Bakhos reconnected with his old friend, vocalist Nadeem Michel Bibby and forged the current incarnation of Anuryzm. The band independently released their debut album "Worm's Eye View" in 2011.
"Worm’s Eye View" featured guest performances by Martin Lopez (Soen, Opeth, Amon Amarth) on drums and by Uri Dijk (Textures, Ethereal) who performed synths on one track. The album was subsequently re-released in 2012 in the United States via Melodic Revolution Records, and in Japan via Asian Rock Rising. The album cycle also saw the recruitment of additional members for live performances. Throughout 2012 and 2013, the band subsequently performed with several acts including Nightwish, Epica, Dark Tranquillity, Avenged Sevenfold, and Yngwie Malmsteen amongst others.
As part of a one–off show during the recording of the band’s sophomore album, Anuryzm performed as guests to Black Sabbath at the Du Arena, Abu Dhabi, on the Middle Eastern stopover of their world tour.
2015 saw the band perform in Turkey for the first time, co – headlining the "Persian Rock and Metal Festival" alongside Orphaned Land.
