Schwarz is still running his company Hamburg Records that has been working with bands such as Atlas Losing Grip, Bloodhound Gang, Donots, Emil Bulls, or Samiam. The work of Wolfgang Maier and Tim Eiermann with Liquido ended by their split up in 2009. But due to its success, there were rereleases, which were marked as such. Of both singles, only 1,000 each were available and due to the band's deep entanglement in the underground scene, these first issues were sold out just within weeks. Short time later the second single, 'Sacrificious Profanity' with new recordings was released on Symphonies of Death Records from Columbia. The recordings were previously released as the band's first demo tape. Pyogenesis released their first 7' Single 'Rise of the unholy' on the Mexican Label Mephitic Productions. At that time innumerable bands of the genre were found there, some of them became pretty big. The owners gave the yet young grindcore and death metal scene a place, similar to children's disco on Sunday afternoon 3 pm to 9 pm. The band members met in Rockfabrik, a club in the wider area of Stuttgart, Germany, that covered all Rock and Metal styles. For that, they deserve a little credit.Pyogenesis originated from the local band Immortal Hate and singer and guitarist Flo V. This 1995 Nuclear Blast release can't challenge discs from the likes of Creed and Stone Temple Pilots, but considering the oxymoronic pop-metal genre's conspicuous ambitions, perhaps Pyogenesis was attempting to fill what is perhaps the greatest artistic vacuum within the myriad of metal subgenres. With its many dynamic changes and melodies, "Twinaleblood" and other tunes like it are both elaborate and catchy. The relatively ambitious title cut is a clear standout. Pure metal fans had a tough time appreciating it, but Twinaleblood's interesting arrangements and above-average songcrafting gave the group legitimate mainstream appeal. The transition from their prior sound (something like Paradise Lost) to the radio-friendly alternative metal is extreme, and while texturally similar, this new conceptual approach confused the band's following. Pyogenesis completely abandons their doom/death and gothic roots on Twinaleblood, a strong but confusing effort from the German outfit.
