A Swedish/German power metal outfit, Dionysus features singer Olaf Hayer (known for his work with Rhapsody guitarist Luca Turilli), drummer Ronny Milianowicz (ex-Sinergy), guitarist Johnny Ohlin, ba**ist Nobby (both ex-Nation), and keyboard player Kaspar Dahlqvist. Gradually coming together over a three-year period, the group eventually signed with AFM Records for the release of 2002's Sign of Truth and 2004's Anima Mundi. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
