Dionysus

Dionysus was formed by drummer Ronny Milianowicz around the time he left his previous band Sinergy, eventually recruiting a respected set of musicians, all of which have previous ties to various European metal bands in one way or another. What we have here is yet another classically Germanic-styled melodic speedy power metal band, featuring the familiar happy choruses and rollicking leads that are the mainstays of the genre. The same positives and negatives that apply to countless other bands in this field are applicable here, the positives being a sterling production, top-notch musicianship (guitarist Johnny and a general band tightness and maturity, with the negatives being very little in the way of originality -- really, there just isn't much here that makes Dionysus stand out as a unique band. Nevertheless, the aforementioned good points make this band a recommended one for Euro power metal fans. The band managed three albums between 2002 and 2006 before breaking up in 2008.
