PYOGENESIS - A Kingdom To Disappear

February 24th, 2017

Anyone who is trying to apply the mechanisms of a successful career in Heavy Metal to Pyogenesis is in for a huge surprise. The Stuttgart based Metal act wholeheartedly renounced every single business rule from the very start, defied conventions and grinningly granted themselves absolution. They launched a career that was destined to fail on paper. Yet, these reckless Swabians quickly turned into one of the most exciting, most innovative and most legendary bands to emerge in the nineties.

Who, like them, raided the hunting grounds from extreme Death Metal to straight in-your-face Rock sans reservation is living music to the fullest. That is also what is distinguishing their latest opus “A Kingdom to Disappear”. Naturally, it’s not the work of juvenile “Sturm und Drang” culprits anymore – and still it’s brimful with inventive talent, pioneering deeds and diversity.

The next Pyogenesis album only 18 months after “A Century in the Curse of Time” is a sequel to the Victorian trilogy they started with the last album. “Both are in the same musical vein, both are united by the same background of social changes in the 19th century”, Schwarz states. “This record embraces each and every of the band’s creative eras.”

Fans couldn’t be happier with an announcement like this. Like it’s the most ordinary thing to do, “A Kingdom To Disappear” merges blast beats, melancholic grandeur, symphonic elements and proper Metal craftsmanship into a cohesive masterpiece, adding some intoxicating new flowers to the exuberant Pyogenesis flora. It’s not the nineties anymore, to be sure. However, fearless pioneers like Pyogenesis emphasize that this is no reason whatsoever to stop being innovative.
