Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
It will be a very short history.
We have released 4 studio albums in Serbian, plus one live album/DVD. We have played on many huge Balkan festivals (Metal Days, Exit, Beer fest...), did many Balkan tours and opened for Whitesnake, Apocalyptica and Savatage. The new album "Elegia Balcanica" (Miner records) took some great awards, in Rome (Italy) and Los Angeles (Music Akademia). We have released also "Expedition Delta" album in English that featured some great guys, such as Shadow Gallery, Labyrinth members...  

How would you describe your style? Which bands influenced your music? 
It is something like progressive metal with some artistic Balkan influences, with lyrics in Serbian, that give to our music an exotic dose of being unicque.

Why should a metalhead buy your demos/albums?
If you want to hear the voice of Serbian metal, you should check it out. Especially if you are into progressive metal.

Do you play live as well? How's your live activity so far?
We had a lot of gigs during the last decade. We did many Balkan tours, many solo concerts and visited the most of Balkan towns/cities. But we have also visited some other countries, such as Hungary, Italy, Bulgaria. I already mentioned that we opened for some huge Rock/metal bands.

What should labels/zines/promoters know about your band? Why should they be interested in it?
I think that we offer some cool music, well played with great vocals and with some unique Serbian influences. If you haven't heard Balkan Prog Metal before, check it out. It may sound interesting to you. 

What plans do you have for the near future as a band?
Recording more videos, playing live and recording some new stuff. We are also preparing "Expedition Delta 2"album (in English) that will gather some cool names from the world of metal music.

Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
You can buy our stuff via Miner Records/One Records and you can find us on facebook and youtube. You can check out my web page, too - www.srdjanbrankovic.com
