Biography:
Dislocation was formed in the fall of 2005 by bass player Rihard
Vershinin and drummer Renat Ragimhanov. Since then the band has gone
through numerous member changes, and Renat is the only member who has
remained from the original line-up. The first rehearsals took place in
a high school, but soon after the guys moved to bass player’s house
where the fundamentals of band were set up. Due to the poor skills the
band progressed very slowly at the early stage. The band was in search
for new members, when Kaspars Putniņš joined the band on guitar and
bringing in positive changes and contributing to the progress of the
band. Dislocation (entitled ‘Exmort’ at the time) played at a number
of gigs, performing songs quite different from the current repertoire
– the guys even covered ‘Master of Puppets’. However, after some time
all members except Renat and Kaspars parted way with the band. Despite
that the guys persevered and looked forward to forming a new line-up
once again, and continued to rehearse. They also came up with the
title of the band – ‘Dislocation’ – which reflects the departure
(‘Dis-’) from the meaningful rehearsing place (‘location’). Toms
Krauklis joined the band on bass guitar at the time, a while later
leaving Dislocation to join Frailty, and reuniting with the former and
being a part of its current line-up. The last member to complete the
current line-up was Oskars Vallis on guitar. At some point the band
was considering the idea to involve female vocals, however, they faced
difficulties finding any suitable member. The situation turned out to
be the same with the male vocalists. Seeking for solutions Dislocation
tried out different variations, and finally decided to move on
performing the vocals by themselves. Dislocation independently
recorded and released their first EP ‘XXIX’ in the fall of 2009 and
more actively continued to play live gigs in Latvia and Vilnius
(Lithuania), as well. In the beginning of 2011, the band released its
latest album ‘Sagul’ which incorporates various musical genres thus
maintaining the distinctive sound of Dislocation established in
previous album and also offering a number of innovative nuances.
