Stribog (Croatia)

2005/2006

Stribog (the god (grandfather) of winds in Slavic mythology) was formed in winter 2005/2006. by Mario ‘’Knez Svitogor’’ Bosnir (synth/vocals), Vitorog (Melkor, vocals), Leshy (Melkor, bass) and Nikola ‘’Volos’’ Mrksa (guitar) in Zagreb, Croatia.

Soon after, Vitorog was replaced by Vedran ‘’Pikuolis’’ Kovacic, whereas Ivan Mrkoci - Mrva joined the band as a drummer. With this line up, the band enters studio and records their first demo
named “Za Vjecan Ponos i Cast!” (“For Eternal Pride and Honor!”) in April 2006.

2006/2007

In the following months band sustained some line-up changes, and it all resulted in the joining of Darko ‘’Kovas’’ Cosic (a.k.a. Beleth / Melkor, drums), Ana ‘’Ausrine’’ Backonja (female backing vocals), Borna ‘’Void’’ Zezelj (Iskariot, additional guitar) and Nikola ‘’Khorz’’ Dusak (Iskariot, bass), and in January 2007. band records a new single ‘’Nyia - Religija Krvi’‘, as a preview of the upcoming material.

2007 - part I

Stribog have been suspicioned in connotation with the NS (National Socialism) and similar movements.
None of this suspicions are true! Because of this nonsense suspicions and rumors Stribog was forced to cancel a big gig with Skyforger in a club Mocvara…

2007 - part II

In May, Stribog has officially split up but in July, Stribog reunioned again. There was again a lineup change- keyboardist Mario ‘’Knez Svitogor’’ Bosnir was no longer a part of Stribog,due to personal and musical differences between him and the band.

September 2007 brought another changes to the band: Sergej Simpraga returns to Stribog and Nikola Dusak leaves the band. From the late December 2007 Vedran Kovacic is no longer a part of StriboG due to the personal dissidences.

Stribog also intorduced two new members: Robert Perica on keyboards and Ivo Turk ( also known from the band Slip ) on whistles.

2008

From the very beginning of this year Stribog is working hard on a new material for the second album. Working title of the album is ‘U okovima Vjecnosti’ ( ‘In Schakles Of Eternity’ ). By now, the most of the work is done. Stribog is now also focused on preparation for their first video clip for the song ’ Krunidba Slavena ’ , as well as on playing as far as many gigs.
