Over time, John focused on his songwriting and eventually moved to Canada in 2007 to revive ANURYZM; but after slow progress, he decided to move back to his childhood city Abu Dhabi in 2010. He immediately joined forces with his old high-school band mate/vocalist Nadeem Bibby, and invited renowned drummer Martin Lopez to perform on the album. After hiring more musicians to complete the line-up, the long-awaited debut album ‘Worm’s Eye View’ was finally released in late 2011. Many performances later, the band saw a few line-up changes after finally settling with Imad Dahleh on drums, Jay Jahed on keys, and Rany Battikh on bass.
To date, the band has performed extensively in the local & regional scenes, including the Dubai Rock Fest and the Byblos International Festival. They have also shared the stage with artists such as Black Sabbath, Avenged Sevenfold, Yngwie Malmsteen, Nightwish, Epica, Dark Tranquillity, and more. With the drive to produce quality progressive metal music, ANURYZM is currently in the studio working on their next opus All Is Not For All, set for release in 2015.
