Forest of Vanity (Croatia)

Forest of vanity were founded by Josip Kaloper (guitars) and Marino Bezmalinovic (vocals) in Split, Croatia during September 2003. But the real work started with the arrivals of Mario perèiæ (drums), Lucca Dinielli (Bass) and Tomislav Ljubicic (guitars) during February 2004. That's the period when the band started to define it's music based on old school of Melodic death metal bands like Dark Tranquillity, Death, In Flames, At The Gates, Amon Amarth, Hypocrisy etc. In FOV music there is also an influence of technical Death metal, especially on drum parts. Guitars are based on melodies combined with heavy riffs. Through lyrcs we try to reflect our personalities, our problems,social problems, etc. 

Forest of Vanity started it's career with covers like Carcass, Amon Amarth, Kreator, etc. But soon after the band did a hard job and recorded DEMO at Meisterwerk studio, Zagreb. Igor Malecic did recordings and mixing. The DEMO "Entombed douls" was recorded in 5 days and was finished in February 2005. . Now Forest of Vanity are working on their next DEMO.
