Juha Samela, bass

Started to play the bass: I started to play the classical guitar at the age of 14. Soon I realized that real progress in music was going on in the new genre of heavy metal. The bass was a natural choice for me because its role is to provide counterpoint to the melodies, and in that sense metal music continues the classical western tradition.

The best performance: I hope it will be in the future.

Would love to play: Metal and funk are the most fascinating styles for me as a bass player. If I still played classical guitar, I would prefer flamenco.

Wouldn’t play: Basslines that are mechanical, for example the 8th notes through the song.

Favorite songs: Most of our choices in this band are my favorites.

The best thing about Atrum Materia: This band works as a team and we share a common interest in vintage metal.

Juha’s gear:

  • Yamaha TRB1006 bass (6-string)
  • Vintage 1971 Fender Jazz Bass
  • Mark Bass Little Mark 800
  • Glockenklang cabinets
  • EBS Valve Drive to emulate Geezer Butler’s sound
