Boston-based power metallers MELIAH RAGE have announced that they will be parting ways with the band’s second vocalist, Paul Souza. The band will immediately begin the search for a replacement while continuing to work on the next Meliah Rage release.

“Back in 2003 when we decided to start making new music again after six years off, Paul was the first person we called when original vocalist Mike Munro decided that he could commit to touring,” explained Meliah Rage founder Anthony Nichols. “Paul has recorded two records with us and played over 100 live shows (including a recent tour with METAL CHURCH) since joining the band—we will always consider Souza a friend and an important part of Meliah Rage history,” Nichols added.

Like Munro, Souza was unable to meet the new touring schedule that looms in the near future for band.
