Music like Pyogenesis

Pyogenesis is a German band, based in Stuttgart, that played different genres of music such as melodic death metal, alternative metal and punk rock during their career and are one of the originators of gothic metal in the early 1990s.

Pyogenesis originated from the local band Immortal Hate and singer/guitarist Flo V. Schwarz in Summer 1991. The band members met in Rockfabrik, a club in the wider area of Stuttgart, Germany, that covered all Rock and Metal styles. The owners gave the yet young Grindcore and Death Metal scene a place, similar to children’s disco on Sunday afternoon 3pm to 9pm. At that time innumerable bands of the genre were found there, some of them became pretty big. Pyogenesis released their first 7" Single 'Rise of the unholy' on the Mexican Label Mephitic Productions. The recordings were previously released as the band’s first demo tape. Short time later the second single, 'Sacrificious Profanity' with new recordings was released on Symphonies Of Death Records from Columbia. Of both singles, only 1.000 each were available and due to the band’s deep entanglement in the underground scene, these first issues were sold out just within weeks. But due to its success, there were rereleases, which were marked as such.
