Interview with Flo Schwartz of PYOGENESIS



1. where does the name of your latest album" she makes me wish i had a gun" come from??

Itīs a very personal title. It says that when you believe in your partner she doesnīt treat you with the respect you deserve and further cheats you, she makes you wish you had a gun, ... itīs very simple, but sometimes in relationships you just canīt hide your feelings and emotions. Iīm pretty sure that this happened to so many people out there. Weīre not saying violence is any good but sometimes even just the imagination helps, ....



2.you were supposed to have a live chat with your fans yesterday. how did it go??

Awesome! It was on the website of Germanyīs biggest Music Magazin. They couldnīt let all the fans in, cause if they would have, the server would have been exploded. Some questions are sometimes really silly - especially when they are the same asked for 20 times, ...



3.You have released 2 cds this year, while most bands find it difficult to put out one cd a year. > How did that happen?

Yeah, to be honest one was just a 5 track EP six weeks in advance of the album in order to create interest on this. I believe that this is a good way to promote an album ahead of itīs release. The EP is pretty cheap so people canīt make anything wrong in buying this. There are 2 tracks of the album on and further three unreleased track, ....



4. How is Punk rock doing in the third millennium??

The same as in the very end of the 2nd. I donīt think that this number year 2000 has changed anything in the heads of people, it also could have been the 15th of November 1975



5.your debut album is considered as" doom death"...How did the evolution to punk happen?

Since ever we wrote that kind of music we wanted to. In the early days and still, now. I think it is wrong just to write songs the people wanna listen to. then weīd still be a death metal band. Music has to be honest, the same goes for the lyrics. It would be wrong, just to please the fans, that is what the Backstreet Boys do better, than we ever could. So we leave the terrain to those whose are good in it.





6.You are about to hit the road for a new tour soon.Are you looking forward to it?

Actually to be honeast, we are already on tour. And I love it! It feels so good to meet all those people coming to your shows. We talk alot to our fans cause we believe in this connection: Letīs say it this way: We canīt without them and they donīt want without us, ... And further you can meet a lot of interesting characters out there and see foreign countries you wouldnīt even think about to spend you hollydays there, ...



7. what is Flo Schwarz like and what makes him tick?

lies



8. what do you think about the rock and metal scene nowadays?

there are quite a few very good bands coming up - but most of them are covered by the mass of shit that is released every monday through the labels. itīs so sad, that the media doesnīt pay enough interest to those bands who are really worth it. The just look for the money that the majors through after them, not for the quality nor the originality.



9. What do you listen to?

All kinds of music and of course spoken words.



10. a final word........

When ever youīll have the chance to see us live. Just take it. Weīll blow away your ears and head. Fucking live performance and kick ass is the law. Tonight weīre gonna play with a cheesy pop band that sells twice as much as we do. But after the show you can be sure weīll have more fans out of the audience than they will! Thatīs for sure. We kick live fucking ass, ....

be prepared
