Hot on the heels of the release of their latest album, 'Brutally Beautiful,' the fast-rising rock/metal band A.Z. has just secured a month-long set of dates opening for Sevendust, which will kick off on November 4^th (in Knoxville, Tennessee) and wrap up on the 26^th (in Birmingham, Alabama).

"I, and all of A.Z., are extremely honored to be sharing the stage with Sevendust," says A.Z. singer Clark Walker. "We grew up on Sevendust, and now we get to step on stage and perform across the US with our idols...I mean how much better can it get?!"

The frontman also is willing to offer up a sneak preview of what fans can expect from the band on these dates. "We are excited to unveil our new acoustic live show to all these new and old fans alike. It's going to be a jam packed night of acoustic metal every single stop along this tour!"

The band - which in addition to Walker, consists of Josh Smith (guitar), Josh Thompson (guitar), Buck Gillispie (bass), and James Parker (drums), and whose name is an abbreviation for "Absolute Zero" - has been touring heavily and steadily so far this year, including sharing (or about to share) bills with the likes of Framing Hanley, Buckcherry, Nonpoint, Fozzy, Almost Kings, Cathercist, and 12 Stones.

And there have been quite a few telling signs that A.Z. is undoubtedly on the uprise of their career, as the band now have tailored their custom light show even further, adding their own sponsored A.Z. "Brutal Cabs", made by PME Cabs, containing built in lighting. This along with their custom stage props, built by Rebel Iron, lets A.Z. bring a huge show to even the smallest venues.

And soon, A.Z. will undoubtedly attract a whole new legion of fans, when they join Sevendust on tour. And Walker can't wait - "For those who make it to see A.Z., and the best in the business, Sevendust, you will be in for a metalicious acoustic treat!"
