The story of Rizon
The beginnings...
RIZON was founded as a school group in May 1997 by Matthias Götz (vocals), Christian Götz (guitar) and Marco Küderli (keyboard). Marcel Hodel played on bass and René Hupjan on drums. In the early years, RIZON was characterized by constant lineup changes, which made it difficult for the band to develop quickly. When Tom Lindegger (drums) joined the band in 2001, RIZON almost only played their own songs. Tom put his stamp on the rhythm section and brought the band a decisive step forward with his intense drumming. With the addition of Jim Dodd (bass), John Wardle (guitar) and Franziska Germann (vocals), the band began to develop their own sound style. The band calls the mix between rocking guitars and symphonic keyboards, characterized by two-part singing, "Melodic Power Rock".
Evolution 2005
While recording their debut album 'Evolution', John Wardle left the band and was replaced on guitar by Mark Wietlisbach (Leroy, Steve Whitney Band, Purple Lizard). The solo guitars from 'Evolution' were then recorded by Mark and he brought new impulses to the band with his way of playing guitar. The album "Evolution" enabled the band to appear in concert halls such as Alpenrock House Kloten, Rock City Uster and Dynamo Zurich.
Sudden Life 2008
At the beginning of 2008 the band worked with Dennis Ward (including Krokus, Alannah Myles) in Germany on their second album "Sudden Life". It was released under the German label "Karthago Records". After the record baptism on October 31, 2008 at Dynamo Werk21 in Zurich, the band embarked on a Switzerland-wide tour in which they were guests at the Z7 in Pratteln and the Alpenrockhouse in Kloten, among others. The final concert took place after around 20 concerts on December 12, 2009 in the old casino in Wettingen. It was the last concert with Franziska Schärer-Germann, who left the band and was replaced by Seraina Telli at the microphone.
Masquerade 2012
After an intensive phase of songwriting in 2010, 13 new Rizon songs were recorded in the first half of 2011 in the local ring studios, which in the meantime had grown to a size of 100 m2 and are located in Volketswil ZH. The concept of two-part singing was further expanded and the female voice was given even more space on the new songs. A consistent further development which was already apparent during the development from Evolution to Sudden Life.
This time the album "Maquerade" was mixed in the far north by Nino Laurenne in Sonic Pump Studios. In addition to his own band Thundestone, Nino has already produced and mixed greats such as Apokalyptika, Lordi, Amorphis and other northern heavy metals. The mastering was done by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers Studios in Helsinki. Svante can include references such as Rammstein, Sonata Arctica and Sunrise Avenue. The album 'Masquerade' was released after the merger of "Karthago-Records" with "Pure Steel Records" in the winter of 2012 under the previous label "Karthago-Records". In October 2012 bassist Jim Dodd left the band and through Tilo Preller, became an experienced one Metal bass rivets replaced.
Power Plant 2016
The first songs were written in autumn 2013. In the spring of 2014, Reto Hähnel took over the position of lead guitar and has since then unmistakably shaped the Rizon sound with his playing. In the fall of 2014, the Rizon lineup was then completed again; first with Maik Kindermann on bass and finally with Rahel Fischer as singer. The songwriting was already well advanced at this point and the first half of 2015 was dominated by the reordering of the new CD "Power Plant", the release of which is planned for the beginning of 2016. This time the album will be mixed by Jacob Hansen (Doro, Pretty Maids, Amaranthe, Volbeat, etc.) in Denmark.
After concerts as co-headliners with Serenity (AT) and headlining shows in Switzerland, the Power Plant Tour continued in 2017 and 2018 and was concluded in autumn 2018 at the Charity Rock Night as support for the Swiss metal legend Eluveitie.

Out of Nowhere
Rizon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need a sign but there's nothing to see
Not a single one
Confused, I turn head around
I look for a savior to get out of here to cast off my fear
I am stranded, I'm left high and dry
In the vast expanse of neverland
With no direction home
Show me the way out of nowhere
I can't find my way home
I can't find it alone
Show me the way out of nowhere
I need a sign to get our or my fate
Will have been sealed today
Worn out, dashed to ground
All day the blazing sun is burning my skin until the night comes in
Cold sweat, I regret
That I put myself into this situation
That makes me suffer now
I am stranded, I'm left high and dry
In the vast expanse of neverland
Only the lonely can know how it feels
With no direction home
Show me the way out of nowhere
I can't find my way home
I can't find it alone
Show me the way out of nowhere
I need a sign to get our or my fate
Will have been sealed today
The lyrics to Rizon's song "Out Of Nowhere" depict a sense of being lost and desperate for guidance. The singer finds themselves at a crossroads, unsure of which path to take. They express their need for a sign or some form of direction, but feel as though there is nothing guiding them. This lack of guidance leaves them confused and fearful.
The lyrics also touch upon the feeling of being stranded or abandoned. The singer feels alone and deserted in a vast and unfamiliar place, which is symbolized by the metaphorical "neverland". They emphasize that only those who have experienced such loneliness can truly understand the weight of it. They feel like they have no home or sense of belonging.
The singer's plea for help becomes more prominent in the chorus, where they directly ask for someone to show them the way out of their current state of confusion and despair. They acknowledge that they cannot find their way home or escape their predicament alone. The urgency in their request is emphasized, as they fear that if they do not receive a sign or guidance soon, their fate will be sealed in the undesirable situation they find themselves in.
Towards the end of the lyrics, the singer reflects on the toll their circumstances have taken on them. They feel worn out and defeated, with the sun's relentless blaze symbolizing the harshness of their challenges. They regret the choices that led them into this difficult situation and acknowledge the suffering they are enduring.
Overall, "Out Of Nowhere" explores themes of feeling lost, abandoned, and in need of guidance. The lyrics capture the singer's deep yearning for someone or something to show them a way out of their current state and prevent their fate from being sealed in a place of despair.
