Brief biography
Founded in 1992, the septet from Potsdam has rapidly gained a huge amount of loyal fans; those have been thrilled by the band’s numerous live gigs and terrific albums. These days, the seven musicians elate thousands of adherents in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Moreover, they can be regarded as one of the best German live bands.The band’s musical trade mark is its hard Rock and Metal style, enriched with medieval melodies. Instruments like the bagpipe, hurdy-gurdy, lute, mandolin, shalm, fiddle and flute make their contribution to the unique character and charm of SVBWAY TO SALLY. Further features are the German, romantic-symbolic texts which cause the songs to be highly recognisable.
With their third album Foppt den Dämon (Fob the demon), SVBWAY TO SALLY turned over a new leaf in 1996: they signed their first major contract to BMG Munich. That is where the two studio-recorded albums Bannkreis (Spell) and Hochzeit (Marriage), as well as the live-album Schrei (Scream) and – at the end of their contract period- the best of sampler Die Rose im Wasser (The rose in the water) were released.
In 2000 SVBWAY TO SALLY went over to Universal. On 01/04/2001 the album Herzblut (Heart's Blood) was released and skyrocked the Media Control Charts from zero to rank 15. A nomination for the German music award "Echo" followed. A further highlight of the band history was the journey to Mexico, where the group gave several completely sold out concerts.
During the first ten years of their existence SVBWAY TO SALLY have sold about 230,000 CDs and they have been represented on approximately 80,000 samplers.
On 10/03/2003 Engelskrieger was released; within one week it reached rank nine of the album charts. In 2003, SVBWAY TO SALLY sold more than 60,000 tickets for indoor-concerts. Including the open air festivals of 2003, more than 250,000 fans have seen the band live!
Having an expiring contract in 2004, the band decided to sign a new one with Nuclear Blast, the only still rising record company in Germany.
In 2005, SVBWAY TO SALLY moved on with full power: the new drummer Simon Michael (an all-rounder), substituted the former long standing drummer David Pätsch. With this fresh constellation the band played at a sum of 18 festivals, including Rock am Ring and Rock im Park. In the autumn and fall of 2005, the band went on tour with their new album Nord Nord Ost (North North East), playing a total of 34 gigs.
After having played copious tours with the latter album, the band fulfilled one of its biggest desires: an acoustic tour all across Germany. The concert which took place in the Passionskirche of Berlin was tape-recorded for a live DVD which was released at the end of 2006. Like the tour it had the name Nackt (Naked). The DVD was the first release which was awarded gold by the Deutsche Phonoakademie.
In autumn 2006, SVBWAY TO SALLY started their work for the next album. Being only intermitted by the annual X-MAS tour and the second part of the Nackt acoustic tour, the album was recorded, mixed and mastered in various studios in Germany, Denmark and New York until the summer of 2007. Never before had so many people been involved in the development of a SVBWAY TO SALLY album.
In the summer of 2007, SVBWAY TO SALLY played the first songs of their new album which bears the name BASTARD and was released on 19/10/2007. At the end of the summer the band travelled to Moscow and played its first gig in Russia in front of many thrilled fans.
Subsequently preparations for the BASTARD tour began. One week after the release of the new album, the tour started out on 26/10/2007.
