In the beginning of 2000, the band recorded their second album "NewtimeChaos". The album was released in May 2000 with the label "B.Mind Records". In March 2002, Personal War changed the name from "Personal War" to "Perzonal War" because of legal reasons and signed a deal with AFM-Records.
In July 2002 the 3rd album "Different But The Same" was released worldwide over AFM Records. Also Victor Smolski from RAGE played a couple of guitar solos on the album and helped the band in the studio. The album got amazing reviews and lots of high soundcheck positions in the important Metal Magazines.
After lots of live gigs and Festivals (a.o. on the Sziget Festival in Budapest, as support for RAGE and NEVERMORE) bass player Frank Buchwalter split with the band in January 2003. In June 2003, Perzonal War entered the studio again to begin with the work on the album "Faces". During the recordings, bass player Sven Krautkraemer joined the band and completed the strongest Perzonal War line up so far.
The band also recorded a video for the single "My Secret" with a very popular German film team. After that the band played a very successful Tour together with "Circle to Circle" and "Blaze". "Faces" is the band´s strongest release so far and the very high soundcheck positions (Rock Hard Germany 10 x dynamite, Metal Hammer Germany Soundcheck position 7 etc.) and also the entry in the german Metal-DJ Charts at position 10 speak for themselves. The Clip to "My Secret" is shown in whole Europe and especially in Holland it runs 10 times a day in "High rotation" on "The Box".
PERZONAL WAR is:
- Matthias Zimmer (Vocals & Guitar)
- Martin Buchwalter (Drums)
- Björn Kluth (Bass)
- Andreas Ballnus (Guitar)

Evolution
Perzonal War Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This cut comes for real
No thought of any cost - I know I will accept the deal
Of paw of fire freezing
See a newborn son increasing
Of love of distance
Turned to fear
This evolution keeps the strongest alive
Say goodbye
A needful final change
And the ship
Could wave but it won't sink
Remember we're with one foot
In the grave
This pain let's fires freezing
And a newborn son increasing
This love
This hate that turned to fear
Close a chapter
End it here
The lyrics of "Evolution" seem to be discussing the idea that change is an inevitable part of life, and that the strongest people are the ones who are able to adapt and evolve as time goes on. The first two lines suggest that the singer is experiencing some sort of pain or difficulty that is forcing them to confront the reality of their situation. However, they seem to be committed to moving forward, even if it means accepting a deal that may come at a great cost.
The next few lines describe a contrast between elements of fire and ice, as well as the idea of birth and growth. It's unclear whether these lines are meant to be taken literally or metaphorically, but they could be seen as representing the opposing forces that exist in life - heat and cold, life and death, creation and destruction. The line "This evolution keeps the strongest alive" seems to tie everything together, suggesting that the ability to change and adapt is what separates the strong from the weak.
The final lines of the song seem to be a farewell of sorts, suggesting that a chapter in the singer's life is coming to an end. The image of being "with one foot in the grave" is a powerful one, suggesting that the singer is aware of their own mortality and the fleeting nature of time. Overall, the song seems to be a call to embrace change and to be willing to let go of what no longer serves us, even if it's painful.
