P205 – Paradise
P205 – Vivat Progressio Pereat Mundus – Paradise
P205 were founded in Wendelstein,situated in Franconia to the south of Nuremberg (Germany),in 1970 and played progressive hard rock with mystical elements.The four original members were schoolmates from Wendelstein and Nuremberg,namly WOLFGANG BURGHARD on Piano, RAINER HÄUSER on guitar, HELMUT HIEBEL onbass and vocals,and EDDY LOTTER on drums who invented the band name which stems from the chemistry classes of their Veit Stoß secondary school in Nuremberg,being the formula for phosphorus pentoxide. It is e.g. in Potash; it is not, however, an explosive as was wrongley asserted, but its only smouldering along.The choice of the name had no deeper meaning.
