Samurai Pizza Cats from Castrop-Rauxel ceased to be an insider tip since their first self-released songs.
Founded in 2021 by Daniel Haniß (Electric Callboy), Sebastian Fischer and Stefan Buchwald (both ex-Fall Of Gaia), the band quickly gained a loyal fan base thanks to their unique sound and energetic live performances. Since 2021, Stefan Reufer has been the bassist of the band from the Ruhr-Area and a permanent member of Samurai Pizza Cats. Musically, the band moves between Metalcore and Deathcore with electronic influences, captivating with catchy melodies and powerful guitar riffs.Their songs are characterized by a mixture of biting humour and profound themes, which gives their name, which alludes to a cult anime series, an additional humorous touch.
Samurai Pizza Cats released their first album “You're Hellcome” in 2023. The album was released on September 22 and entered the Top 100 of the German album charts. For some tracks, the young band from the Ruhr area was able to secure well-known features, including members of bands such as Future Palace and For I Am King as well as Nico Sallach from Electric Callboy.
In January 2024, the band played an almost completely sold-out headlining tour in Germany and Austria.
