SagittariuS is a Melodic Death Metal act from Vilnius, Lithuania. The band consists of 6 people who are all equaly cruicial to the band‘s concept, sound and ideas. Those people are: Aistė – keyboards, Vilius – drums, Laurynas – guitar, Margiris – guitar, Lukas – bass, Maxim – vocals.
The band started as Aistė‘s project back in 2011, although it was somewhat cursed as people kept coming to and shorlty leaving the project due to personal or other reasons, and SagittariuS could not maintain a stable structure. To this day the band can count up to 30 people that were at some point a part of the band. SagittariuS gained some stability in early 2014, when they started a serious creative process and preparations. Those preparations concluded on 6th of september 2014, when the band had their fisrst show.
Since then SagittariuS put up countless shows in Lithuania, and had been deemed the band that plays most live shows in Vilnius. And even then the group could not fully shake away the curse, and had to replace both vocalist and a guitarist twice.
SagittariuS has published two demo recordings in 2016 which one can find on bandcamp or youtube.
Right now they are working on their debut EP, which will be released later in 2017.
24th of March 2017 will mark the first time SagittariuS goes to spread their music abroad.
