About Polytoxic

Polytoxic - a metal band from Rheinhessen, Germany. The first band meeting took place in spring 2020. After some jam sessions (at that time still without a singer) core band members - Prathip, Patrick, Heiner and Niklas agreed that the chemistry was right. Quickly they started to work on their own songs. In addition, the search for a singer began. Since March 2021 the band is in complete line-up. Holger joined the band as singer and producer and Milan took over Heiner's position on drums. After a short finding phase with the two new band members, the first 5 song ideas were worked out to finished songs. On 12.02.2022 the band gave their debut concert. The event took place as a charity event and was a great success. Besides a lot of positive feedback and a fat party, almost 500€ were raised for the solidarity fund #handforahand. In July 2022 Prathip left the band and Carsten took over the bass. Line-up: - Holger - Holger describes himself as a musical all-rounder. He has been playing guitar since his youth and has gained experience in several bands. Most of our lyrics come from his pen. We also have the opportunity to record and work on our songs in his recording studio. To keep things interesting between work and band projects, he also runs a multimedia studio (photography, music, design). Have a look: www.medien-schmiede.com. - Niklas - As rhythm guitarist, he is the link between the rhythm section (drums and bass) and the lead guitar, as well as the vocals. His main task is to belt out fat guitar riffs and headbang as seriously as possible. Apart from that, he takes care of everything else that has to be done in the band's everyday life with diligence and heart and soul... so you can surely manage "a big number" some day. Only he can't look angry (yet). - Patrick - As lead guitarist, Patrick is mainly responsible for the fast and technically demanding guitar parts. Since he learned his instrument from scratch at primary school, he masters this with aplomb. Patrick also played the violin in the school orchestra and was thus able to gain experience in classical music. Of course, he also brings one or two "killer riffs" to the rehearsal room - the polytoxic essence from which we craft our songs. - Carsten - Originally a drummer, Carsten decided to get a bass after moving house and finding no more room for his old drum kit. "Cobbler, stick to your last" or rather "Drummer, stick to the rhythm!". He doesn't want to know anything about distortion and all that guitar stuff, it has to rumble in your stomach and encourage you to groove along. Carsten also takes care of technical things like the homepage. - Milan - Why the drummer of a band is often called the "bus driver": He tells you where to go. And you can see immediately that Milan knows his craft. Milan originally comes from Hungary and has been making music there for years. Among other things, he worked as a drum teacher and drummed in the military orchestra. By the way, he doesn't only show good stamina at the rehearsals, but also at the band evenings. No prisoners are taken there. He has promised us Hungarian goulash next time. We are looking forward to it.
