Besthial

Besthial was formed in November 2006 by Mate Matijasevic and Ivan Vidakovic. After comming up with the first song, *Winter's Wind* which only incorporated a guitar sound, they decided to add some keyboards to their music to make it more intersting. Soon after that, Marta Malinka joined the band as keyboardist.After several rehearsals, Mario Sestan joined the band as bass guitarist and invited his good friend Sime Alavanja to join us as a drummer.The band started working more on their material and searching fora proper vocalist.Mate hired his good friend Niko Pincic to write some lyricsfor their music and he did a very good job. Soon after that, the void behind the microphone was filled by Angela Sindija. At the end of 2007,the band entered the studio and recorded their first demo "Careful What You Wish...". Soon after the recording Angela left the band due to personal differences with the other members and Marta took up vocalist duties. The beginning of 2008 was a very refreshing time for the band... Unfortunately Ivan decided to leave the band too so the search for a second guitar player began. Mario also decided to leave the band so he could focus on his martial arts training. At the same time, Jadran Karinja joined the band as a new guitarist and Ivan agreed to rejoin the band as a session member playing bass. Besthial started searching for a keyboard .In August the Besthial line up was finaly complete. Marko Krestelica joined as drummer and Ines Piknjac filled the keyboardist position.This line up was very weak beacause of individaul music interest.Jadran and Ines left the band.Rest of the band decided to play more heavy music, move out the keyboards (except in some insturmental songs) and concetrate more on guitar parts. At beginning of 2009, Ivan Ivkovic joined the band as a new giutarist.This line up is doing great so far. Band is currently preparing for future gigs and recording of their second demo.
