Sáwol started as a one man project. In 2005 Pekka started to compose slow
and atmospheric music. After some time he decided to make a demo from the
material that was ready and waiting, so he called Jussi (UPS, Scion) to help
with the drums. In September 2007 a demo was recorded with Jussi in drums
and Pekka doing all other instruments and vocals. The demo got a good
response but Pekka and Jussi were too busy with their other projects so
pretty much nothing happened right after that.
In summer 2008 Pekka realized that the time might be right to continue
pushing Sáwol forward. It wouldn't go far with just 2 musicians, so he asked
his brother Matti (Sotahuuto, Scion) to play the bass and a good friend
Miika (Scion, Pain Remains) to play the other guitar. So a line-up was found
and Sáwol wasn't a one man project anymore.
In fall 2008 Sáwol has been putting together a live set, and soon the band
will be ready to hit the stages.
