Poltergeist (CH)

War im Estrich | noch nie!

Founded in 1988 out of the ashes of swiss Speed-Metal pioneers CARRION, POLTERGEIST released two well acclaimed demo tapes and played quite a lot of shows in their home country Switzerland and in nearby Germany. After one of these shows where they played with HADES and DESPAIR, Robert Kampf (then Singer for DESPAIR and owner of the freshly started label CENTURY MEDIA) decided to offer POLTERGEIST a record contract. They convinced him with their powerful live appearance and their solid craftmanship on their instruments.
From 1989 to 1993 they released 3 albums and played shows and tours with bands like DESTRUCTION, KREATOR, SODOM, TANKARD, CORONER, HELLBASTARD, WATCHTOWER, VOI VOD, RUMBLE MILITIA and many more. After the last tour in 1993 with CORONER the band split up and partly transformed into GURD. On New Years Eve 2012/2013, original members Marek Felis, André Grieder and V.O.Pulver met and discussed the old times. after listening to their old records and posting a picture on Facebook,
lots of people demanded an immediate reunion.. Sparked by these reactions, Sven Vormann ( an old friend of the band and formerly drummer for Destruction) decided to bring order to the chaos and organized some first rehearsals. Soon it was
clear that the old magic was back.
And to complete a 20 year old dream, they finally found in Chasper Wanner the right second guitarplayer to bring the haunting guitar mayhem from the records also to the stage! In early 2016 bassplayer Ralf Winzer Garcia (from veteran Death Metal Band REQUIEM and Classic Heavy Doom Metal Band WOLF COUNSEL) joined the pack due to Marek’s decision to leave the band.
