Dionysus was a Swedish/German power metal band formed in 1999 by Sinergy drummer Ronny Milianowicz. They released three studio albums and disbanded in 2008.

History

Dionysus debut album, Sign of Truth, was recorded at the Rhön Studio in Fulda, Germany in 2002, which is best known for its productions with Edguy and Avantasia.[1] The album was produced by Tobias Sammet and mixed by Tommy Newton (Keeper of the Seven Keys, Part 1 & 2). Dionysus second album, Anima Mundi ("the soul of the world" in Latin), was released in 2004.

Dionysus also worked closely with HammerFall singer Joacim Cans. Ronny Milianowicz did the backing vocals on HammerFall's album Legacy of Kings, and Cans wrote the lyrics for "Bringer of Salvation" and "Bringer of War" on Dionysus' Sign of Truth and Anima Mundi albums. Milianowicz and Cans also worked together on a number of different projects, including the musical "The Conspiracy".

Dionysus' third album, Fairytales and Reality, was released in August 2006.[2]

In January 2007, co-founder, songwriter and drummer Milianowicz suddenly decided to quit the band for other engagements, though promising Dionysus support for all live activities of 2007. In February, keyboardist Kaspar Dahlqvist announced that he was leaving due to personal conflicts and he would not be participating in the upcoming tour. On their MySpace page, bassist Nobby Noberg revealed that Dionysus had found a new drummer, Johannes Berg (Castillion), and a new keyboardist, Joakim Floke, who both went on Dionysus' 2007 European tour, supporting Jon Oliva's Pain. In 2008, the band split up.
