Cydhie Genoside

The band was formed in Warsaw by experienced musicians from distinct music styles. Soon they recorded a 14-minute demo which they sent to the promoters of the Metalmania festival to join the concert bill, along with acclaimed compatriots such as Dragon , Destroyers , Hämmer , Stos , Open Fire and Alastor . The popularity they gained among Polish metal fans by playing that popular festival gave the band the opportunity to record their debut, ...As a Goblet of Gore . In 1988 or '89 they changed their name to Cydhie Genoside. For their sophomore album, 1991's Ashes to Ashes (Only Rosie Forever) , then-unknown singer/actress Kasia Kowalska made her debut as vocalist on the song “Hearts” as guest on the Flood And Field (For The Common Man) record in 1992. The sound of the band also switched from underground punkish thrash to power metal, replacing psychological disorder, depression and insanity lyrics with relationships, feelings and love issues.
