   SALA: General Info
Member Since2/21/2007
Band Members The nucleus would be - Audrius "Alas23" Simkunas, Ramunas "Moonis" Personis (also the musical brain behind SOVIJUS and ZPOAN VTENZ) and Vasha "Portas" Dadaja. But its not true:) Because during ALL performances we invite other people we know or do not know. Lately most frequent guests on stage were Vytas "Paukstis" Kondrotas with his hawk-bass and sparrow-effects, Darius "Smurf" Sadeika (the brother of Vasha) with turbulent winds of assformed infinity, and the gorgeous lady Jolita "Katia93" Mickeviciute with cosmic female energies and voices.

Others who performed with us were MightyEternal SEDU, Kostas Gaitanzi (well know Lithuanian painter), Zydrius ITI (now a video artist), PoPO (OURCHACH, VILKDUJA, LAUXNA LAUXNA), Hokshila (Lithuanian reggae musician/ songwriter and reckless traveler), Giedrius "Karacius" Sirvydis, Aurelijus "Ausrys" Samulenas, (the former drumer of HA LELA), Neringa "Burbikas" Jablonskyte (soft syren voice), Vilma Ciplyte (a Lithuanian zither player and singer), Vadimas Nazarenko (former member of many Lithuanian bands and painter), Arturas Dobkevicius (jew's harp), Enrika Myskovskaja (electronics), Andrius Radzevicius and many others that we even do not know their names. Big thanks to you ALL, because without you SALA would be just sha-la-la-la...

Influences SALA always was more about ideas that music itself, just lately we started to care for the musick too. So the main influence would be thoughts/ideas of people like H.F. Lovecraft, A. Crowley, J. Fries, Ph. Hine, P. Caroll, A.O.Spare. F.Aswynn, H.Bey, A.Machen, T. Mckenna, T. Leary, R.A. Wilson, W. Blake, Coum Transmission, A. Chumbley, W. S. Burroughs, A.Ginsberg, J. Kerouc, B. Gysin and the like. Also personal experiences/insights, psychodelics, traveling, walks in Nature and Cities, sex, etc, etc.

And then the music... We all came from heavy/thrash/death/black/doom/gothic/pagan metal scene, so there were the bands like Helloween, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Accept, Kreator, Slayer, Sodom, Motorhead, Metalica, Death, Destruction, Autopsy, My Dying Bride, Benediction, Possessed, Morbid Angel, Celtic Frost, Tiamat, Entombed, Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Pestilence, Atheist, At The Gates, Napalm Death, Deicide, Burzum, Emperor, Enslaved, Necromantia, Monumentum, Impaled Nazarene, Mayhem, Dark Throne, Death SS, King Diamond, Bathory, Amorphis, Sepultura, Grave, Disastrous Murmur, Bolt Thrower, Paradise Lost, Anathema, Thergothon, Esoteric, Sisters Of Mercy, Lacrimosa, Fields Of Nephilim, The Cure (early),Blooding Mask, Mephisto Waltz, etc, etc.

Later on our tastes slowly evolved into industrial/ambient/ethereal/apocalyptic/neo/ folk/electronic/experimental/ and other "styles". So we have an honor to mention names like Laibach, Coil, Current 93, Death In June, Throbbing Gristle, Nurse With Wound, Z'ev, Test Dept, Esplendor Geometrico, Clock DVA, The Anti - Group, Boyd Rice&NON, Psychic TV, Kirlian Camera, Sol Invictus, Deutsch Nepal, Schloss Tegal, Sigilum S, Dead Can Dance, In Slaugther Natives, Memorandum, Autopsia, Love Is Colder Than Death, Maeror Tri, Brume, Front 242, Legendary Pink Dots, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Blood Axis, Changes, Fire+Ice, Sixth Comm, Mother Destruction, Nature and Organization, Allerseelen, Les Joyaux De La Princesse, The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud, Cocteau Twins, Einstuerzende Neubauten, Diamanda Galas, Laurie Anderson, Can, Amon Duul, Faust, Muslimgauze, Swans, Merzbow, John Zorn, Lustmord, CTI, Cabaret Voltaire, SPK, Portishead, Autechre, Sun Ra etc, etc. The rock'n'roll classics like Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Beatles, Janis Joplin, The Doors, Captain Beefheart , D. Bowie also should be mentioned and some classical composers like A.Vivaldi, J.S.Bach, W.A. Mozart, Hildegarde von Bingen, A. Part also took a part in our evilution.

Note that the list isn't full nor given in the any chronological order. And we did not listen full discographies of the above mentioned bands/artists. It's simply the names that popped out in my head at the moment of writing this..

   About SALA
SALA started as a "fun" project of two at that time already dissolving Lithuania black/pagan groups - POCCOLUS and HA LELA. That could have been 1996 (Actually Alas23 started it much earlier). Members of both shared deep fascination for the pagan beliefs and mystical/magickal/non - ordinary experiences and literature. The shrieky vocals and black metal structures also started to become worn out and somewhat boring. So this new project slowly became their main preoccupation and vessel/ship for the new ideas/sounds.

SALA performed widely in Lithuanian avantgarde festival SUMIRIMAS (the "baby" of restless Lithuanian avantgarde artist Ramunas Jaras) presenting there "Anathema of Zos" of English occult artist Austin Osman Spare, the invention of English-born artist and inventor Brion Gysin called Dreamachine, the ideas of R.A.Wilson and other things.

Also there were performances in pagan/neo-folk festival MENUO JUODARAGIS where SALA did ritual using self - written porno texts (probably the first using such kind of texts as pieces of art in Lithuania), B.Gysin's Dreamachine and more "bizarre" aspects of Chaos magick as proposed by P.Hine, D. Lee, P. Carroll&Company.

We have been spoiled guests in VALPURGISCHNACHT FEST in Chemnitz (Germany) in 2000.

During last years SALA played in numerous Lithuanian festivals and open-air parties like TUNDRA, SUPYNES and other.

In our discography we have 8 albums so far.

At last i'm hearing your hypnotic stuff...

The last word of Hassan Sabbah is really nice and esoteric! The right stuff to fall in trance with (as Bowie sings) "vision of swastikas in my head"...

All the best

"Behind every system, behind every rule stands a corpse and laughs. You can't tell me who I should sleep with. I don't work for wages. My life is a revolution... My life is a beautiful life... What you call freedom, I call waste... I will continue to love my own voice. If everyone becomes me, everything will collapse."
