One theory about the variation of composition is: "The most probable explanation is that there was a loose council of nine religious leaders, and that as older members retired or passed away, new members were brought into this council." However, it should be borne in mind that the term "wali songo" was created retroactively by historians, and so there was no official "group of nine" that had membership. This list differs somewhat from the names suggested in the Babad Tanah Jawi manuscripts. The following list is widely accepted, but its authenticity relies much on repeated citations of a handful of early sources, reinforced as "facts" in school textbooks and other modern accounts. The composition of the nine saints varies, depending on different sources. Most of the wali songo had some Chinese ancestry for example, Sunan Ampel (Chinese name Bong Swi Ho), Sunan Bonang (Ampel's son, Bong Ang), and Sunan Kalijaga (Gan Si Cang). Some of these spiritual lineages are cited by van Bruinessen in his study of the Banten Sultanate, particularly in regard to Sunan Gunung Jati who was an initiate of various Sufi orders.Īlthough popular belief sometimes refers to the wali songo as "founders" of Islam on Java, the religion was present by the time the Chinese Muslim admiral Zheng He arrived during his first voyage (1405-1407 CE). Although silsila are listed in various Javanese royal chronicles (such as Sejarah Banten) to denote ancestral lineage, the term in Sufism refers to a lineage of teachers. Tracing the lineage back further than Maulana Malik Ibrahim is problematic.
The earliest wali songo was Maulana Malik Ibrahim (originally from Samarkand) who arrived on Java in 1419 CE. Some Muslim mystics came to Java from Gujarat, India via Samudera Pasai (part of what is now Aceh). The graves are also known as pundhen in Javanese. The graves of Wali Sanga are venerated as locations of ziarah (ziyarat) or local pilgrimage in Java. (See "Style and Title" section of Yogyakarta Sultanate for an explanation of Javanese nobility terms.) Most of the wali were also called raden during their lifetimes, because they were members of royal houses. Thus, the term is often translated as "9 saints".Įach man is often attributed the title sunan in Javanese, which may derive from suhun, in this context meaning "honoured". The word wali is Arabic for "trusted one" ("guardian" in other contexts in Indonesia) or "friend of God" ("saint" in this context), while the word songo is Javanese for the number nine. Numerous guest artists made appearances, notably Tim Davis (Spike Nard from Crashdog).The Wali Sanga (also transcribed as Wali Songo) are revered saints of Islam in Indonesia, especially on the island of Java, because of their historic role in the Spread of Islam in Indonesia. FTWC featured Bryan and Brent again, and Greg Jacques (Crashdog) on drums.

Left Out recorded a third full length after Bryan moved to Chicago entitled For the Working Class. Serve Self was recorded by Chris Colbert again and assisted by Steve Hindalong (The Choir). The record featured bassist Brent Kaping (Craig's Brother, the Yax), Jim Chaffin (The Crucified, Deliverance) on drums, and guest performances by Jacob (Sometime Sunday) on lead guitar, Chris Colbert (lead guitar), Tracy Street (vocals) Jonathan (vocals), and Cleetus Adrian (vocals). The band recorded a second album on Flying Tart entitled Serve Self, this was recorded at Neverland Studios in Nashville. Despite its members diverse influences, its sound most closely resembled that of the Blamed, the Crucified, and Nobody Special.
For their debut album, Pride Kills (1996), alongside Chris Colbert (Breakfast with Amy), Darren Diolosa (aka Klank), and Jesse Smith (Zao).
The band formed at Tomfest 1995 and was a side project of the Blamed's Bryan Gray.
