Info:

It was the year 1986, when Bruno & Oscar Di Blasio together with Andi Deris (who had just finished military service), met the Italian bass player Daniel De Niro;
Kymera was born! An old schoolfriend of Andi, Ralf Maurer alias “Ralph Mason” was recruited as the new drummer of the band.
Soon after, Kymera went to the Katapult-Tonstudio in Karlsruhe to record new songs for Francis, Day & Hunter GmbH Publishing- Hamburg.
Following songs were recorded: “Hello U.S.A.”, “Hot looking Romeo”, “Send me a letter” and rearranged versions of “I was made to be with you”, “Call me up” and “Woman”.
After a few concerts, the drummer Ralph Mason quit Kymera to go to University.
Mason was promptly replaced by the young talented drummer Kosta Zafiriou (Pink Cream 69) and the line-up of Kymera was complete again.
Soon, the band went to Studio in Mainz to record “Shadows are falling”, “Lonely would be loving you” and a new version of “Ballade of glory” and played many live dates in Germany till the end of 1986. In the beginning of 1987 Andi Deris and Kosta Zafiriou left Kymera to form the band Pink Cream 69.
Because of the amazing success of the Kymera demo tape and the excellent reviews of the national and international media, Bruno, Oscar and Daniel didn’t give up and replaced Andi Deris and Kosta Zafiriou with Michael Moretto as the new singer and Andrè Simon as the new drummer.
In the late autumn of 1988 Kymera recorded the debut EP “Animality” which was released in 1989. During the preparations of the following “Animality Tour” the drummer Andrè Simon died under tragic circumstances; a suitable replacement was found in Dominik Hülshorst (ex Bonfire). The “Animality” EP increased Kymeras’ degree of fame considerably and earned positive reviews from the European press. Countless interviews in England, Italy and Spain followed. The “Animality” tracks: “Eyes of Avatar” and “Born to rock” got into numerous reader-metal-charts and “Follow me” was the definite favourite of the radio DJ’s.
The “Animality Tour” of 1989 was also very succesful because of a well thought-out image and an electrifing live show with wild choreographic elements.
The last concert of the tour, in february 1990, was definitively the last live appearence of Kymera and it took place at the Music-Club “Garage” in Rastatt /Germany with Pink Cream 69!
