They started off as a Death Metal band in Stuttgart when they released their first demo "Ode to the churning seas of Nar-Mataru" in 1991. After releasing two EPs "Rise of the unholy" and "Sacrificious profanity" their first selftitled mini-album was released in 1992 on Osmose Records. On this album, which is commonly known as "Ignis creatio" (named after the last track of the album), Pyogenesis combines their Death Metal roots with Doom and Gothic influences. The combination of Tim Eiermann's deep voice and growls and Flo V. Schwarz' clean vocals became a trademark of Pyogenesis until the album "Mono...".
Their next EP "Waves of erotasia" was released on Nuclear Blast Records in 1994 and continued the developing to a more melodic and Gothic Death Metal. On the album "Sweet x-rated nothings", an underground success, melodies became more and more important to the song structure and brought the band their first hit "Fade away". The subsequent "Twinaleblood" from 1995 mixed the bands Death Metal background with Punk and Alternative-Rock influences. In 1996 Pyogenesis' fourth release on Nuclear Blast "Love nation sugarhead ep" started the new aera of the band. The sound changed to Alternative-Rock with heavy influences of Punk and Pop which also dominated the sound of the album "Unpop" from 1997.
After the release of "Mono...or will it ever be the way it used to be" in 1999, vocalist/guitarist Tim Eiermann and drummer Wolle Maier left the band to focus on the one-hit wonder "Liquido" which had given them the hit "Narcotic". With Flo V. Schwarz as the only founding band member left Pyogenesis released with "P...or different songs in different sounds" in 2000 their last album on Nuclear Blast Records. "P" is a best of-album containing old songs of the band which were re-recorded and rearranged and two previously unreleased tracks.
With their latest releases on Flo V. Schwarz' label Hamburg Records, the EP "I feel sexy everyday" and the album "She makes me wish I had a gun" in 2002, the band continued their musical development to a more Punk-Rock influenced sound.
Since bandleader and songwriter Flo V. Schwarz has recently concentrated on his label and on managing and producing other bands like ZSK or Montreal, After a long hiatus, the band returned in 2014, with Tim Eiermann returning for a short span of gigs, before leaving again. The band returned to the metal style with a trilogy of concept albums set in a steampunk universe, the first two, "A Century in the Curse of Time" and "A Kingdom to Disappear" released in 2015 and 2017 respectively, and the third still to come.

Abstract Life
Pyogenesis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A furious form of life in an age of distrust
Just everything falls apart
No soft beating heart
Dead colour of night
Death coloured the night
Just a deep black light
Broken dreams, this anger pulls me through
Abstract life - I need your..
Abstract life - abstract sentimental
Wet lipstick scarce and eyeballs badly pierced
Mouth full of salty fluid nausea takes control
Dead colour of flesh
Death coloured the flesh
Underwear full of ash
Dead colour of flesh
Boiled and scared oh love
I'm one with you
I lick the moon and cut my veins all through
Abstract life - I need your..
Abstract life - abstract sentimental
The song "Abstract Life" by Pyogenesis speaks about the frustration and despair one can feel in an uncertain and turbulent world. The lyrics describe a "furious form of life" in an "age of distrust" where everything seems to be falling apart. The singer notes that there is no "soft beating heart" to be found and that even the night has a "dead colour" to it.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more graphic and disturbing. The singer describes broken dreams and a "violent (useless) mind" that causes them to lose someone forever. The imagery shifts from death coloured nights to dead colours of flesh, with references to wet lipstick, badly pierced eyeballs, and underwear full of ash. The singer becomes desperate, cutting their veins and yearning for an abstract life that is seemingly out of reach.
Overall, the song is a powerful and unsettling commentary on the challenges of modern life. It speaks to the sense of disconnection and alienation that many people feel, and captures the frustration and despair that can lead some to extreme acts of self-harm and violence.
