Vinum Sabbatum is a band from Finland. Starting in 2008, this quintet exudes a sound heavily inspired by the darker sides of 60s and 70s hard rock, heavy metal and early doom metal such as Pentagram, Sabbath, Atomic Rooster and Iron Claw. Since their formation the group has managed to release three studio albums.
History
The band was formed in early 2009 when founding members Mika Pajula and original guitarist Juha Köykkä, along with drummer Marko Jylhä-Ollila, started to rehearse behind the locked doors. Intensive jam sessions evolved to the point where it was obvious that a lead singer and organ player was needed to breathe those instrumental ideas into complete songs. By March 2009, Janne Salo; a man with rich and distinctive voice became the front man. The quest to find an organist with a style to match Ken Hensley and Jon Lord-type playing seemed to be almost impossible task. Few months down the line, guy named Tomi Korpela was more than willing to help out the band to record their first demo-EP in November. After Tomi’s own projects was put on hold for a while - amongst them Uriah Heep-cover band ‘Innocent Victims’ - he became a permanent member of Vinum Sabbatum.
After moving their rehearsal place from Tuusula to Hyvinkää, they released a self-financed 5-track demo ‘Songs from the Convent’ in February 2010. Black Sabbath-laden riffing of ‘Demon Dance (Chorea Sancti Viti)’ combined with easy rocking ‘Witch Woman’ paved the way for the whole print (300 copies) to be sold-out within months and a record-deal with Northern Silence Productions sublabel Eyes Like Snow soon followed. The following year Vinum Sabbatum continued to perform gigs around the clubs in Finland and started to record their first full-length album. In September 2011 they released a split-EP with UK’s own riff-wizards Groan through Doomanoid Records. Soon after the original drummer was asked to step down and he was replaced with another ‘Innocent Victim’ member Jarno Jaakkola.
Eyes Like Snow reissued ‘Songs from the Convent’ officially with new mix and artwork in January 2012 and both releases - the split-EP and reissue - gained immensely good reviews. In May 2012 Vinum Sabbatum finally finished recording and mixing of their full-length album titled ‘Bacchanale Premiere.’ The album was released in August 2012 including seven brand new tracks which showcases a band pushing the boundaries of ordinary by adding even more progressive elements and nuances to their already heavy sound.
Between 2013-2014, Vinum Sabbatum did occasional gigs in Finland and continued to write new songs. Altough gaining good reviews for ‘Bacchanale Premiere’ album, the band concentrated mainly rehearsing and shaping their sound and wasn’t so much under the radar publicly. As the musical direction had naturally grown towards much more complex and layered form, founding member and original guitarist Juha Köykkä decided to leave in November 2014. This setback put the band on a hold for a while.
In December 2014 Vinum Sabbatum moved their camp to Vihtijärvi, nearby Espoo and started to look for new guitarist. Janne Riihimäki did notice advertisement through the internet and passed audition with flying colors. He became officially the new guitarist and backing vocalist in January 2015. Janne’s influences and playing style draws from different fields of 60's and 70's rock, from Beatles to King Crimson, and his input will be significant factor in the future.
First months of 2015 has been positive and uplifting time after those few years spent in silence. New material has emerged in a such short space of time. Taste of new material will be available in demo form in immediate future. In 2016 the band released their second official album Apprehension via Eyes Like Snow
Оккультная группа Vinum Sabbatum появилась на свет в финском городке Туусула в 2009 году. Основателями группы являются гитарист Юха Койкка и басист Мика Пайула. Какое-то время парни джемовали вместе с ударником Марко, после чего к троице присоединился вокалист Янне.
Именно с его руки в репертуаре группы появились клавишные: на нескольких репетициях Янне играл на небольшом органе, что в конечном итоге привело к появлению в коллективе клавишника Томи Корпела. Однако, Марко недолго задержался в группе, и на данный момент его место занимает Ярно. Именно в таком составе был записан дебютный альбом "Bacchanale Premiere".
Но еще до выпуска полноформата Vinum Sabbatum записали миньон под названием "Songs From The Convent". Запись проходила в конце 2009 года, а после её окончания парни выложили несколько сэмплов на свою MySpace-страницу. Они были более чем удивлены положительными отзывами, поступавшими из различных стран, а также заказами миньона на компакт-диске.
Далее с музыкантами связался немецкий лейбл Eyes Like Snow, который взялся выпустить последующие работы коллектива. Эта же компания решила переиздать мини-альбом с двумя бонус-треками. Примерно в это же время был издан полноформатник "Bacchanale Premiere".
Английский лейбл Doomanoid Records вместе с группой Groan предложили музыкантам записать совместный сплит/мини-альбом. Vinum Sabbatum соглашаются и записывают две новых композиции: "Sinister Sister" и "Disillusioned Pilgrims". Стоит заметить, что всю свою музыку парни записывают не на студии, а на репетиционных точках, тем самым пытаясь добиться лоу-фай-звучания.
Однако, несмотря на довольно успешное распространение музыки, коллектив за всё время существования дал не так уж и много концертов, да и те прошли в родной Финляндии. На осень 2013 года намечено несколько шоу, так что парни активно готовятся к выступлениям, попутно сочиняя новый материал. Новый альбом планируется выпустить на лейбле Eyes Like Snow.
