Zao Singer Injured, Band Drops Off Tour

Zao have been forced to drop off of the remaining dates of Ferret Music's "Under The Gun Tour" due to an injury sustained by frontman Daniel Weyandt. Co-Headliners Madball and Remembering Never, in addition to support acts The Banner and Scarlet, will continue the tour as scheduled.

Weyandt broke four bones in his left-hand as a result of a "back-stage mishap." The accident resulted in a sizeable cut that apparently exposed one bone for over 12 hours and became ultimately infected. Three different doctors have ordered the singer to return home immediately and visit a specialist. Fortunately, Weyandt is expected to make a full recovery.

Zao guitarist Scott Mellinger issued the following statement:

"We can't apologize more strongly to the other bands and especially our fans who were planning on seeing us on the remaining dates. We want nothing more than for Dan to get better and we fully intend to crush once again with Dan on the Demon Hunter tour this summer."

hey sevenchurches, while you may have a point, about church beign a lie... you dont have to shove your sh** down everyone elses throaths. i happen to like ZAO whether christian or not, their music is not even preachy in any kind of way its enjoyable. and is good alternative to hearing apocalyptical, death, and genocidal lyrics all the time.

all those who don't believe in God shouldnt come here and offend people who believe in God and Jesus by insulting our religion...if i don't believe in something i don't go around insulting that religion in the most obscene manner! for example i don't believe in hinduism, buddhism, islam and judaism but i don't go around insulting their religion and degrading it! behave like civilised adults, if not for my sake, for your sake...by degrading others you are degrading yourself.
anyways, Zao is great. It's immaterial whether they are a christian band or not, their music is great...it's not religion that makes their music.

"in the name of god let the churches burn" - is that a Darkthrone quote sevenchurches?

darksound sounds like a brainwashed idiot. "You know nothing about atheism, religion, or any kind of spirituality for that matter" - I suppose Jesus has given you the power to read minds across the internet right...

The band Believer is an example where religious bullsh** totally ruined the music.
