Twyster was a German hard rock band from Essen .

history

The band was founded in 1995 and self- published an album and EP in 1997 and 1999 . Twyster achieved the first major response with a tour in the opening act for The Traceelords. This was followed by a demo professionally recorded with the Midas Twins by Andy Brings (ex- The Traceelords ), which led to a record deal with Massacre Records . There the debut album Lunatic Siren was released in 2002 . The second and final studio album to be broken up was Xplode in 2005.

style

The band's music is stylistically somewhere between hard rock and power metal, with "less metallic than Warlock " and the vocals less aggressive than Doro . The songs of the label debut were described in one review as "crisp and varied hard rock songs" and in another as "plain hard rock".

For the follow-up album Xplode , a verdict was “mostly brisk hard rock / heavy metal with some power metal bonds”.

In an interview, the band used "especially Stormwitch " as well as Helloween , Blind Guardian and Gamma Ray as influences or references .
