In English:
The one-man band † was formed by Glasnik (eng. Messenger aka Robert Bekić) at the beginning of 2012. The band name is supposed to be read as "cross" in everyone's mother tongue (e.g. in cro. Križ, eng. Cross, ger. Kreuz etc.) The idea is to create dark music, but with a positive/christian message. Glasnik doesn't want to categorise his music, but because it's easier for people he decided to call it "Dark Metal" although the music is more a mixture of christian funeral doom metal and dark/ritual ambient. Shortly after founding the band the first demo titled "Početak" (eng. beginning) was released for free download. It features two instrumental tracks. Soon after that, "Početak" was re-released, but this time through "Nihilthrone" on CD with a bonus song that is in fact a cover of the "Happy Days" song "Don't Go". About a month later † participated in a compilation "Through the Mist-Dark Ambient Gathering Compilation Vol. 1" with the song "Stanje Mira" that's available via Funeral Drone. And then on 23th October of 2012 a compilation named "Doommantia Vol. 1" apeared. This compilation was put together to raise money to benefit Ed Barnard of "Doommantia.com". He suffered a heart attack and due to huge medical bills, he is now homeless. 39 bands (including †) from all around the world have contributed over 4 hours of music. Artwork was donated by Coby Ellison. Then, just at the beginning of 2013 a split album named "Abstract Dreamscape" came out on "Whispering eye recordings". The split featured 8 artists from all over the world, including the well known "Deep-pression". Then on the 02 August 2013 the "Doommantia Vol. 2" compilation was released. † was featured with the song "Healing Night (Cure For The Inner Self)" ...TO BE CONTINUED! |
Na Hrvatskom:
Glasnik (pravim imenom Robert Bekić) je početkom 2012. osnovao "one-man" band †. Ime benda svatko bi trebao čitati kao "križ" na svom materinjem jeziku (npr. na hr. Križ, na eng. Cross, na njem. Kreuz itd.) Ideja je stvaranje u prvi pogled mračne glazbe, ali s pozitivnom/kršćanskom porukom. Glasnik glazbu koju stvara ne želi kategorizirati, ali pošto to ljudima olakšava snalaženje odlučio se za pojam "Dark Metal" iako je glazba vise krsćanski funeral doom metal i dark/ritual ambient. Kratko nakon osnivanja benda prvi demo pod nazivom "Početak" pušten je na besplatno skidanje. Taj demo sadrži dvije instrumentalne pjesme. Nedugo nakon toga "Početak" je ponovno izdan, ali ovaj put preko "Nihilthrone" na cd-u i sa jednom bonus pjesmom koja je u stvari cover "Happy Days"-ove pjesme "Don't Go". Otprilike mjesec dana kasnije † je sudjelovao u kompilaciji "Through the Mist-Dark Ambient Gathering Compilation Vol. 1" sa pjesmom "Stanje Mira" koju mozete nabaviti preko Funeral Drone. I zatim 23. Listopada 2012 pojavila se kompilacija pod imenom "Doomantia Vol. 1" Dizajn je donirao Coby Ellison. Ta kompilacija je nastala u namjeri da se sakupi novac za Ed Barnard-a sa "Doommanitia.com". Jer je imao srcani udar i zbog velikih lijecnickih racuna je zavrsio na ulici. 39 bendova (ukljucujuci i †) iz cijeloga svijeta pridonijeli su preko 4 sata glazbe. Zatim, pocetkom 2013 "Whispering eye recordings" izdao je split album "Abstract Dreamscape". Na albumu je zastupljeno osmero bendova iz svih krajeva svijeta, ukljucujuci jako poznat "Deep-pression". 02. kolovoza 2013 izašala je "Doommantia Vol. 2" kompilacija. I je donirao svoju pjesmu "Healing Night (Cure For The Inner Self)" ...NASTAVLJA SE! |
