10 years after their last show, PYOGENESIS are coming back to play a few well selected festivals, as announced a couple of weeks ago. Now they reveal the line-up. Vocalist Flo V. Schwarz, long time bass player Malte Brauer and drummer Oliver Wiebe added original member Tim Asmodeus, who already played on the first record, to the line-up to complete the quartett.
„It feels good to have Tim back in the band, after 16 years“ says Flo V. Schwarz, master mind PYOGENESIS, „I am looking forward to get back on stage with him, like in the early days.“ The band, that co-invented Gothic Metal in the early 90s and were the very first to release an album of this genre, also just put out a video, where they play one of their most fan-loved songs recorded while a rehearsal „It’s On Me“ and introduce the band members:
PYOGENESIS already announced two European major festival appearances:
28.-30.11.2014 (ROM) Bucharest, November To Dismember Metal Fest
13.-15.08.2015 (GER) Dinkelsbühl, Summer Breeze
20 years after the initial release of their masterpieces „Waves Of Erotasia“ and „Sweet X-Rated Nothings“ the co-originators of Gothic Metal are back to headline one of the most dedicated festivals in Europe.
November To Dismember Metal Fest
28.-30. November 2014 - Bucharest, Romania
From 1991 to 2002 they have been releasing 5 albums and 4 mini EPs that gained world wide success from Japan to Mexico, where they even led the national import-charts on #1.
‚It’s been 8 years since we played live the last time, and we are really excited. We can’t wait and we’re looking forward to both, the fans that have been waiting for so long and the other great bands of the fest. It’s an awesome line up. With some of them we played 20 years ago for the first time’,
Flo V. Schwarz, lead singer of the band.
