ANGELSEED is a logical continuation of the band Drinking Skull which has been active on the Croatian metal scene during the period from 1987 to 2001. During that time Drinking Skull played numerous live shows both in their domestic country and abroad and released five full-length albums. Due to the significant changes in style and completely new ideas based particularly on combination of various metal sub-styles, complexity and female vocals, main axis of the band consisting of two Drinking Skull members (Damir Marijan – Maras and Jurica Baljak) and one ex-member (Sinisa Antunovic – Medo), made a decision to change the band's name.
The new formation emerged under the name ANGELSEED and was supplemented with new members.
The new line-up now consists of three original members who also contributed in many other Croatian side projects and bands, and new members who also made a significant contribution to Croatian metal scene – a female vocalist who was invited to audition for new Nightwish singer, both guitar player and back vocalists gathered a lot of experience during their involvement in various bands and projects particularly relevant for Croatian metal scene.
When it comes to music, ANGELSEED skillfully combines various metal styles, but traditional metal, gothic, thrash and power dominate that interesting and complex mix.
Long story short - the band's existence started during 2002. as a side project but two years after that has developed into a band
(Damir Marijan - Maras – guitars, Sinisa Antunovic; - Medo - bass, Jurica Baljak – drums, Ivana Anic; - Lara – vocals, Marijana Varga - backing vocals, Irena Ivanisevic – backing
vocals) and has started to write new songs. The new material took concrete shape during 2006.
In the meantime, ANGELSEED also presented their live skills as a support act for
Within Temptation at the beginning of 2008. in Zagreb.
Recording of their debut album which will consist of sixteen songs is completed and the band currently works on the production and final mix...
