Dionysus was born in the basement of the Furst family home. Steve on drums, Dan on guitar. Many a migraine headache was inflicted upon our bewildered parents! We also tortured our neighbors by periodically giving "shows" in the grand concert stage of our garage. We moved to california in the spring of 1987 and after Steve graduated college in 1991..we started to get serious about our basement project and find some players who could add their talents to the growing body of songs that had been written. Up until then we had just been playing house parties and school shows with a roatating line up of friends and local musicians. When we finally settled upon a stable line up with Steve on drums, brandon on Bass, myself on guitar and Phil on vocals...I decided to move to england for 8 months. I forgot to mention it to the others...ooops. Things fell apart in my absence but on the upside, I purchased a cheap acoustic guitar in London and in the privacy of my dormroom and the inspiration of Europe around me...began to write the songs that ended up on the Dionysus cd. After returning home in the Spring of '92, Steve and I recuited Dave Hollyburton on bass and Jason Crowley on vocals. Both needed much work to get to the level that Steve and I were at but eventually we got there and started to play private parties and clubs. After lots of gigs, a series of demo tapes and positive local reviews, Dave was replaced by Shawn Mulkins, a graduate of such local thrash bands as Circle of Fear and Last Rites. Shortly afterwards, Jason was replaced by Kurt Wolf. Kurt was finally the vocalist who could deliver not only the voice...but the stage presence and show as well. With this line up, the band went into Suspect Studios in the summer of '95 and recorded for many months. Mixing was done in the idyllic hillside of Canyon Studios.... where disaster was nearly averted by a hungry DAT player. Finally, Gates of Eternity was mixed by Tom Carr at Music Annex and released to positive reviews. Dionysus played a cd release party at On Broadway in San Francisco and went on to support Gates of Eternity by opening shows for the likes of Machine Head and Vicious Rumors as well as many headlining shows. By early 1998, with the rock scene nearly extinct in Frisco and grunge all the rage..Dionysus called it a day. This website is for the music and for our brother Shawn who was killed in a car accident in 2002.
5. Formed 1998 in United Kingdom (Glasgow, Scotland). The band is still active.
Dionysus, A 5 Piece metal band from Glasgow with influences from a wide range of styles including black / melodic / death / doom and power and fantasy inspired lyrics. After numerous line-up changes the band are now in the process of writing and recording their 3rd full album.
"Glasgow six-piece Dionysus method of playing 'black metal' manages to be almost equal measure bathory bludgeon and power metal widdle and still sounds cool. Uncharacteristically down to earth - for their genre rather than geographical origins, in Glasgow - Dionysus confess to loving cheese but without heartfelt shame. Thoroughly enjoyable headbang-worthy stuff."

7. Neo-Classical metal from Korea formed in 1989. They have released 2 full-lenght albums.

Tides Will Turn
Dionysus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am hunted by fear, my soul is repressed
And my heart is a statue of stone
Eos is dead and gone, there's shadow ahead
Thin threads of hope is all, a faint trace of live
Until she's found I won't give up, I won't give in!
[Chorus]
I am searching recklessly through pain and misery
The tides will turn for me, it's my destiny!
By the river of Styx, through the echoes of death
I am guided by harmonies, remnants of song
Beats of a lonely heart is leading the way
Silence is broken in the halls of the dead
Until she's found I won't give up, I'll carry on!
[Chorus]
Chaos calling me
Until she's found I won't give up
I'll carry on!
[Chorus]
In Dionysus's song "Tides Will Turn," the lyrics describe the singer's journey through a misty, uncertain void. The singer is plagued by fear and a deep sense of repression. Their heart is described as a "statue of stone," suggesting emotional numbness and detachment. The reference to Eos being dead and gone speaks to a loss of hope, with shadowy emptiness ahead. Despite this, the singer clings to a thin thread of hope and refuses to give up until they find what they are seeking.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's determination to search recklessly through pain and misery, wholeheartedly believing that the tides will turn in their favor one day. The second verse takes the singer through the river of Styx, surrounded by echoes of death and harmonies of song. The beats of a lonely heart lead the way through the halls of the dead. The singer remains steadfast, refusing to give up and determined to carry on until they find what they are looking for.
Overall, "Tides Will Turn" is a powerful and emotional song that portrays the universal experience of searching for hope and persevering through difficult times. The allusions to death and hopelessness lend a dark, haunting quality to the lyrics, but the singer's unwavering determination and belief in their own destiny provide an uplifting counterpoint.
Line by Line Meaning
I run through the mist of the void
I am moving forward despite the unknown and emptiness around me
I am hunted by fear, my soul is repressed
I am being pursued by anxiety and my spirit is burdened
And my heart is a statue of stone
I am emotionally numb and unable to feel
Eos is dead and gone, there's shadow ahead
The dawn of hope has disappeared and darkness lies ahead
Thin threads of hope is all, a faint trace of live
I have little hope left, but a small chance at life still remains
Until she's found I won't give up, I won't give in!
I will persevere until I find what I am searching for and not give up
I am searching recklessly through pain and misery
I am frantically seeking, despite the difficulties and suffering
The tides will turn for me, it's my destiny!
My situation will improve, it is my fate
By the river of Styx, through the echoes of death
I am journeying through the place of the dead, accompanied by ominous sounds
I am guided by harmonies, remnants of song
I am led by melodic remnants, indicating a glimmer of hope
Beats of a lonely heart is leading the way
The sound of a solitary heart is guiding me forward
Silence is broken in the halls of the dead
The silence of the afterlife is disturbed by my presence
Chaos calling me
Disorder is beckoning me
Until she's found I won't give up, I'll carry on!
I will persist until I locate what I am seeking
The tides will turn for me, it's my destiny!
My circumstances will change, it is my fate
