│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The history of Rizon ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The beginning... ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Rizon was founded as a school band in May 1977 ║ │
│║ by Mattias G÷tz (vocals), Christian G÷tz ║ │
│║ (guitar) and Marco Kⁿderli (keyboards), with ║ │
│║ Marcel Hodel on bass guitar and RenΘ Hupjan ║ │
│║ playing drums. At that time they were playing ║ │
│║ cover songs while beginning to write their own ║ │
│║ music. During this early period there were ║ │
│║ frequent changes in the line-up which, to some ║ │
│║ extent, hindered the development of the band. By ║ │
│║ the time Tom Lindegger joined as drummer in 2001 ║ │
│║ they were playing largely their own ║ │
│║ compositions. Tom began shaping the rhythm ║ │
│║ section using his intense and diverse style, a ║ │
│║ crucial step forward. With the additions of Jim ║ │
│║ Dodd (bass), John Wardle (guitar) and Franziska ║ │
│║ Germann (vocals), Rizon`s distinctive sound ║ │
│║ began to emerge. The resulting mixture of ║ │
│║ energetic rhythms, harmonic guitars and ║ │
│║ symphonic keys overlayed with powerful ║ │
│║ male/female vocals led the band to christen the ║ │
│║ sound ôMelodic Power Rockö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Evolution 2005 ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ During the recording of their debut album ║ │
│║ ôEvolutionö, John Wardle left the band and was ║ │
│║ replaced by Mark Wietlisbach (former Leroy, ║ │
│║ Steve Whitney Band and Purple Lizard guitarist). ║ │
│║ Mark recorded the lead solos, adding a new style ║ │
│║ and resonance to compliment the rhythm guitars. ║ │
│║ The finished album was released, and Rizon went ║ │
│║ on to perform at well known venues including: ║ │
│║ Alpenrock House-Kloten, Rock City-Uster and ║ │
│║ Dynamo in Zⁿrich. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Sudden Life 2008 ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In the spring of 2008, the band worked on their ║ │
│║ second album ôSudden Lifeö at ôHOFAö studios in ║ │
│║ Karlsruhe,Germany with producer Dennis Ward ║ │
│║ (Krokus,Alannah Myles etc). It was released ║ │
│║ under the ôKarthago Recordsö Label. Following ║ │
│║ the release party in October at Dynamo Werk 21 ║ │
│║ in Zⁿrich, they embarked on a short tour of ║ │
│║ Switzerland taking in venues such as Z7 in ║ │
│║ Pratteln, supporting ôTykettoö, The Rock City in ║ │
│║ Uster, The Tibis club in Bern and once again the ║ │
│║ Alpenrock House. After about twenty concerts, ║ │
│║ the final show was staged on the 12th of ║ │
│║ December at the ôOld Casinoö Wettingen. This was ║ │
│║ the last concert together with Franziska, who ║ │
│║ then parted company with the band. She was ║ │
│║ replaced a few months later by Seraina Telli, ║ │
│║ completing the current line-up. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Masquerade 2012 ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After an intense period of songwriting in 2010, ║ │
│║ the band recorded in spring until summer 2011 ║ │
│║ thirteen new songs in their own "Ringstufios", ║ │
│║ which were grown in the meantime to about 100 ║ │
│║ square-meters and are located in Volketswil ZH. ║ │
│║ The concept of the double-leaded vocals was ║ │
│║ consequently developed further and the female ║ │
│║ vocals gained more space on the new songs ║ │
│║ compared to Evolution and Sudden Life. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The new album "Maquerade" was this time ║ │
│║ accomplished in the far north of Europe: Nino ║ │
│║ Laurenne from the Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki ║ │
│║ mixed the album. Nino did mix and produce beside ║ │
│║ his own band Thundestone several well known ║ │
│║ acts, such as Apokalyptika, Lordi, Amorphis and ║ │
│║ many others. The mastering was done by Svante ║ │
│║ ForsbΣck in the Chartmakers Studios in Helsinki. ║ │
│║ Svante did bands with huge international ║ │
│║ success, such as Rammstein, Sonata Arctica and ║ │
│║ Sunrise Avenue. The album "Masquerade" is ║ │
│║ released, after the fusion of "Karthago-Records" ║ │
│║ with "Pure Steel Records", in winter 2012 under ║ │
│║ the same label as before "Karthago-Records". ║ │
│║ Bass player Jim Dodd left the band in October ║ │
│║ 2012 and was replaced by Tilo Preller, a ║ │
│║ routined Metalbassplayer. Rizon kicked off in ║ │
│║ January 2013 their Masquerade tour after which, ║ │
│║ changes on different positions as guitarre, ║ │
│║ bass-guitarre and female voices were anounced. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Power Plant 2016 ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In spring 2014, Reto HΣhnel took over the lead ║ │
│║ guitar and since then is influencing strongly ║ │
│║ the specific sound of Rizon. The line-up of ║ │
│║ Rizon was completed during fall 2014, first with ║ │
│║ Maik Kindermann on the Bass-Guitar and shortly ║ │
│║ after Rahel Fischer joined the band with her ║ │
│║ fantastic voice. At this stage, the songwriting ║ │
│║ was almost completed an the first half of 2015 ║ │
│║ was dominated by the recording session for the ║ │
│║ new album ôPower-plantö wich will be released ║ │
│║ most likely in early 2016. The band is looking ║ │
│║ forward to go on tour and play and promote the ║ │
│║ album live to a broader audience. ║ │
