History:
The whole project was started in the beginning of 2006 by Markus (Drums) with the help of Ville (Bass) and Mitja (Vocals). Later Heinz was asked to join the band to play guitar and sing backing vocals. Sayana was officially born in February 2006.
"Something very aggressive... like all the hatred inside of us, but when it comes out through our hands and lyrics we plant the seed of beautiful silence inside it."
Almost all of us had the same kind of visions, but the abyss of musical differences was too deep for Mitja, so he left the band. Heinz took the place of lead singer, but also continued to play the guitar. The need for a lead guitarist was absolute. After few months of searching, Sayana finally found one.
"We started to write music from the beginning for two guitars and after a while a good guitarist Jani suddenly contacted us via email. We asked him to come and try out... and now we have a new member in Sayana."
Everything clicked, but our growing musical experience needed another guitarist and we asked Vesku to join Sayana. Luckily Vesku accepted almost immediately.
After lots of practising the band went to studio in May 2007 and recorded a 4 song EP.
...but the story doesnt always end happily; Sayana broke up in July 2007.
Haintsi told that he had lost the passion and love to make music with Sayana and due to many personal issues he figured that it was better to "let go" than force to do something that didnt feel right anymore.
"It was a desicion we all made together. I (Haintsi) said to Lunde that maybe you could search another singer, but Lunde said that Sayana is something we did together and it is a page in our life that includes the 5 of us. If someone leaves then its just the time to say goodbye for this bandproject."
The story of this band wasnt long, but we learned a lot of many things related to playing/producing music and it was fun as long as it lasted. Thanks for everyone!
With love: Lunde, Ville, Haintsi, Vesku and Jani.
