(1993 – 2006)

Zaraza was a Canadian band that combined industrial and doom/death metal. Zaraza was influenced by bands such as Laibach, Swans, Winter, My Dying Bride, Unholy, Dissecting Table, Cocteau Twins, Wolfgang Press (Bird Wood Cage era) and Polish legends Variété (especially their long lost “Bydgoszcz” debut).

The two members were Grzegorz Haus ov Doom (also known as Brian Damage, leader of Montreal industrial legends Phycus) and newly arrived Polish immigrant Jacek “Doomhammer”, who met together while DJ’ing at Montreal’s CKUT 90.3 FM alternative radio station. Shortly thereafter, in 1993 Zaraza was born.

Zaraza have released the following albums:

Life is Death Postponed (Demo - 1995)
Slavic Blasphemy (Album - 1997)
No Paradise To Lose (Album - 2004)
Montrealska Akropola (A Tribute to Laibach) (MCD - 2004)
Life is Death Postponed (Re-issue - 2004)
Farewell to Doom (final 2006 demo)

Zaraza disbanded in 2006 and there are no plans for it ever returning.
Grzegorz Haus ov Doom resurfaced under his more popular name Brian Damage in The Unireverse.

    The line "transaction cancelled" in Every Day is a Funeral is from that...trying to take out some cash for food after the first few days of recording, but alas...the bank says to sod off.

    Metal-Archives: "After the release of their first album, the members of Zaraza were unable to eat due to spending all their available money on recording." – WuTeeF?

    Will never happen. The music is dead in me, it's a fire that has burned out a while ago.

    I vote for reunion, world tour (including Poland, of course) and new LP (or two).

    Being a dead band seems so much more rewarding than being an active one *grin*
