Arys

Biography

The Zurich based band ARYS was launched in the year 2000. What started as a Hardrock-Project, turned itself into a progressive Rock band. But it’s not easy to pigeonhole the sound of ARYS, the songs live on the roughness of Rock as well as on the complexity of the Prog.
The lyrics are about life, agony and hope, about self-determination of mankind, but also about its mental abyss. The music lives on the lyrics and vice versa – a connection that fills the songs with intensity and pathos. After some smaller concerts in the early years, the performance in April 2005 in Erlenbach ZH in front of an audience of 400 was yet the climax of ARYS history.
Undoubtfull another highlight was ARYS being the runner-up at the Spring Band Contest taking place at the Alpenrock House. With brand-new songs and unshaken motivation, the crew of the "Spaceship Arys" is ready to invade the stages in 2008.
Arys dissolved by the end of 2010. The songs, however, remain here on MX3 for everybody to download.
