KATEDRA biography :               http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katedra_(band) 

The history of KATEDRA (eng. CATHEDRAL), that is one of the long-living Lithuanian rock bands nowadays, starts in early 1986. The five members act, consisting of Povilas Mešk?la (vocals), Ri?ardas Laginauskas and Romas Rainys (both guitar players), Algis Radavi?ius (bass) and Marius Giedrys (drums) started with heavy metal that was in some kind of rise then. KATEDRA had a lot of live shows both in local events and abroad from the very beginning. The band performed in such well-known festivals as “Lituanica ’88 and ‘89” (Vilnius), “Rock Panorama” (Moscow), “Rock Summer” and “Rock Winter” (Tallinn), “Liepajas Dzintars ’88 and ‘89” (Latvia), “Sopot” (Poland), “Ilosaari Pop” (Finland). Debut vinyl “Mors Ultima Ratio” was recorded at that period. Despite the product saw the daylight only at the end of 1990, the interest of metalheads was huge – all in all the vinyl was sold during two weeks. The band was not only

noticed abroad but also received recognition and acceptance

here. “Metal Hammer” (1989, issue 11) proclaimed: “that is pure

thrash metal act, strong both musically and technically. In fact

the formation is superior in comparison with 90 percent of similar

 Western acts. So it is evident how far the music in Lithuania

made headway”. Edgar Klusener continued: “KATEDRA are the

only matadors in Lithuania and maybe stand among the hottest

European thrash metal bands”.

The peak of the band activity was reached when guys participated in famous “Baltic Sea Music Fest“ (Sweden) in 1991. The organizer Par Werkelin admired: “KATEDRA is a really strong heavy metal act and it is one of those to perform better than sounding in records”. Unfortunately, the festival appeared to be the last for original line-up as Romas and Povilas left KATEDRA soon after. Anyway the second vinyl titled “Natus in Articulo Mortis” was released next year and was praised by reviewers worldwide. The band took part in a number of festivals again and few tracks from the album reached tops in local radio charts as well as were hailed by fans.

The band was also appreciated by Lithuanian government in 1994, as it was chosen to represent the country in Lithuanian Culture Days in Leipzig (Germany) together with some other performers. However that meant also the break in the band activity for as long as 5 years. KATEDRA was reborn only in 1999 performing in “Metalinis Uostas” festival in Lithuanian seaport Klaipeda.

To compensate the period of silence the band participated in famous festival “Death Comes”, a number of small performances in clubs, played in TV and “Bike Show” 2002 in Vilnius. Soon keyboardist Naglis Patamsis was confirmed as the fourth full-time member of KATEDRA. At the moment the band “discovered” the acoustic sounding and started to experiment with it. The band then appeared in modern and one of the best known local metal festivals “Ferrum Frost” on 25th January, 2003 as well as in “Rock Nights” in Plateliai in August the same year. Moreover, the band appeared in German scary movie

“Rats 2”. KATEDRA also performed in “Mountain Rock” festival in Kaunas that autumn though original drummer Marius left the band just after. Domas D?dinas replaced him starting from the next year After the successful gig at the biggest Lithuanian rock festival “Nights of Rock 2004” in Plateliai, Viktorija and Vaclovas have been managing the band. A few different programmes were prepared and they were performed with great success in the clubs of Lithuania, as well as in the festival “Riga Bike Show 2005” and Russian bikers’ fiesta “Baltic Assault 2005” in Kaliningrad. At the end of summer KATEDRA introduced the retrospect of its old and new songs together with the string duo Glebas Pyšniak (cello) and Kristina Baltrušaityt? (alto) at the festival “Nights of Rock 2005”. The recording of long awaited third KATEDRA album was finished in 2006. This album is called “III” and has a run of two thousand copies. Ending the 2006, band changed its bass player. Now with KATEDRA plays Gediminas Jurgaitis, instead of original band player Algimantas Radavi?ius. Previously Gediminas had played with band “Hersh Tu”. Presently, KATEDRA is positively playing in various Lithuanian cities. Also, band has celebrated its 20 year anniversary.

In 2007, autumn, band line-up had changed one more time. This time with band plays new drummer Salvijus Žeimys.

During the 2008, KATEDRA records and release their new material - album "Ugnikalnis", which consists of 10 new songs. Album was recorded in 2008, 13th - 17th of July at "Studio Phoenix", Latvia by Gints Lundbergs.

Consequently, the modern music of KATEDRA links and combines several different styles, although the band still remains true and trust in heavy metal music they started and long lived with.
