In close up: Serbian metal.

The war that broke out in former Yougoslavia in the nineties made an effective end to the expanding hard rock scene.

-Most bands don’t care about politics. During the war it was really though, everybody was frightened all the time. Nobody knew if he or she woke up the next day. Nowadays the youth doesn’t have to worry about that.

The words are those of Vlada Jet, a DJ and radio host, which Marcus met during his weeklong visit to Belgrade. He discussed both past, present and future with some of the countries most prominent –but still unknown outside the borders- bands, like INTERFECTOR, DRACONIC, MAY RESULT and ABONOS. An interesting, fascinating and somewhat scary report.
