Bio:
Formosa, three young men, on stage together since their school days in Southern German Province, now landed in Essen in the Ruhr area, is a band that is not ashamed of nudity. Please what?That’s right, Formosa have undressed their music, they themselves call it “Hard and Heavy”.And while with similar groups the motto is often: higher, more pompous, more garish, Formosa return to the state of nature, which is: an electric guitar, a bass, a drum set – music in loincloth so to speak.Already on the first two albums “Tight & Sexy” (2016) and “Sorry for Being Sexy” (2018) the band showed that the reduction is the biggest thing about their songs. Drums, Riffs and enough space for some unusual hooks. In this period, they played more than 200 shows with Bands like “The New Roses”, “Thundermother”, “Bonfire” and “Battle Beast” and went on their first bigger tour through the Balkan countries. This was their School of Rock. In the beginning of 2019, they played a support tour with the Legends of Nazareth, followed by a busy festival summer.For 2020 the band has announced their third studio album in collaboration with Metalville Records. Therefore, they barricaded themselves in a studio in Antwerp with Martin Furia (Vanderbuyst, Destruction, Nervosa) to record their best album so far. With the mission to revive the feeling of the 80s, which the three guys know only from legends and stories, and to transport it into the year 2020.
Album:
Hailing from Essen, Germany, FORMOSA are ready to release their new album “Pyrite“, and by far is their best effort since the band formed a decade ago. Originally their sound was brisk, raw, but now 2025 FORMOSA is a polished, oiled rock n’ roll machine with a powerful clean classic hard rock sound.”Pyrite”, mixed and mastered by Eclipse frontman Erik Mårtensson, rocks hard from beginning to end. FORMOSA’s formula to keep you entertained through the 13 tracks of “Pyrite” is simple: their songs rarely exceed the 3-minute mark.”Pyrite” is Hard Rock with a smooth edge – there’s plenty of drive and groove but it’s never discordant or aggressive and contains enough power to get bodies moving to the rhythm. We really love the guitar work from Nik Beer throughout the album. There’s some really delicious catchy riffage which is highly infectious still retaining a heavy stance. And the band add a bluesy touch on a couple of songs.Classic hard rock fans who enjoy a heavy dose of melody will revel in the infectious nature of this album for sure.
