Dionysos is a distinctive and eclectic French rock band that has captivated audiences with its imaginative and often whimsical approach to music since its formation in 1993. Originating from Valence in the Drôme department of France, the group is named after the Greek god of wine and revelry, which aptly reflects their adventurous and spirited musical style. The band is predominantly known for its integration of storytelling in its music and a dynamic stage presence, led by charismatic frontman Mathias Malzieu, who also serves as the band's primary songwriter.

Their discography is marked by a creative fusion of genres, combining elements of rock, pop, and punk with a lyrical universe often filled with poetic and fairy tale-like imagery. Over the years, Dionysos has released a series of albums that have helped define their unique sound. "L'Extraordinarium," "Surprisier," and "Vampire en pyjama" standout as testaments to their varied and imaginative work—each album offering a different flavor of their artistic capabilities. Releases like "Song for Jedi" and "Une sirène à Paris," the latter of which accompanies Malzieu's novel of the same name, showcase the group's penchant for creating rich, narrative-driven music that transcends the traditional confines of rock, inviting listeners into a vibrant, storybook world. Dionysos continues to be a beloved staple in the French music scene, known for their creative ambition and the vivacity of their live performances.
