The Metalloid rock band is from the former Yugoslavia. The band was formed early in 1985 and consisted of Zlatan Ivancic (guitar), Milan Ivanovic (drums), Rade Saric (bass), Miroslav Mitreski (vocal). A year later the band changed the name to CBX, which stands for Cover Band X. This was when George (Djordje) Popovic (vocal)and Dragan Rafailovic (guitar) joined the CBX family. In 2000, the first album �Age of fools� was released in USA in Zlatan's studio. One year later, the second, �Imitation�. The band released only instrumental music. The huge shift in playing and composing was noticeable. Zlatan developed new style of playing,which can best be described as Vai-Satriani-Gilmour.
