The great creation of Lituanian rock scene, recorded in 1997, when the dark sound of Siela was being driven by new winds and visionary glows of the vast distances. The expressive album with enchanting atmosphere, pulsating guitar lines, mesmerizing vocals and strongly inspiring lyrics. “Tremtyje” is the only band’s album with folk motifs and chorus, it was innovative that time and still sounds relevant today.

Tremtyje” was inspired by a true story, discovered in the abandoned old house in the forest. The title stands for “In Exile”- a concept that has a painfull meaning in Lituanian history, which was the result of the repressions and the many broken lives. Here it is perceived in a broader sense – the album is about the human survival and love, when fate turns in such a way that there is no way out. Exile can also be a metaphor for a spiritual state of being left behind, homeless, misunderstood, unaccepted, or losing someone you love for life. The album is painful, still carrying a hope that there is light even in the most difficult moments. And after all – music makes miracles.

“Tremtyje” was first released on MC in 1997. Surprising enough, it was probably the only Siela’s album that haven’t been re-issued yet. Dangus scheduled CD release back in 2015… and then it took almost 10 years to find suitable imaginary for it. Thanks to Aurelijus’ patience – it was worth waiting!

It is joint release by Dangus and MetroMusic.
