An explanation for the interested: Zmajevdah is my solo project. The name is a pretty silly thing and I do not intend to change it, perhaps for sentimental reasons, perhaps because relevant symbolism cannot be attached to it by anyone other than myself. I've had this as a part of me one way or another since approximately late 2004, and I cannot deny that it holds great personal importance. Considering generalizations such as "predominantly extreme music overabundant with blastbeats," the act of pigeonholing cannot be comprehensive (it's too redundant!). Attempting to realize honest, naive expression OR a specific, less free concept, without kitsch, clichés, and ego-serving motives, although the project's self-indulgence is undeniable (in fact, it's the only constant). A friend suggested that this is, perhaps, the reason why I prefer releasing splits only - to balance out the selfish aspect. Still, I'm somewhat indifferent to feedback, depending on its content more than anything (I guess!). All in all, I'd describe the project as an egocentric, naturally DIY effort.

Looking for drummer(s): 1. the fastest grind band ever (Discordance Axis, GridLink, Anal Cunt blast, etc.); 2. a noise / shoegaze / screamo / grind / black metal band that doesn't constitute one ten-minute riff, but ten riffs in a minute.
Tražim bubnjara/e za: 1. najbrži grind bend ikad (Discordance Axis, GridLink, Anal Cunt blast i sl.); 2. noise / shoegaze / screamo / grind / black metal bend koji ne podrazumijeva jedan deset-minutni riff, već deset riffova u jednoj minuti.
