Stimulans plays modern old school heavy metal. This describes us pretty well, but you'll have to listen and hear for yourselves. That "modern" part has absolutely nothing to do with downtuned guitars, growling vocals or whatever that's fashionable these days. It has more to do with a modern approach to classic heavy metal.Band/artist history
STIMULANS comes from the beautiful town of Split, Croatia. The band was formed by DABRO (bass) and CHULYO (guitar, vocals) after a period of playing inactivity, joined by ANTONIO on the drums. In those days the repertoire consisted mainly from (hard) rock covers, with a few songs of their own. In the year 2002. the first lineup change occurred, as the new drummer became DJOLE, an ex-drummer for several local bands and an old friend of the two "founding fathers". Following that lineup change, the trio continued in a bit more serious fashion and did some of the first shows. However, the general opinion within the band was that they lack the second guitarist.
The right man was found in TISHA in the summer of 2003., who just returned from working abroad, filled with energy for playing in a band. Since then, the band began to rely more on their own heavy metal material than on hard rock covers. After a few gigs which were very well accepted among the audiences, the recording of a demo was initiated. However, due to various circumstances the recording never got to the vocals. In the fall of the same year TISHA started playing in another local HM band named Vega as well. As it turned out a few months later, it's very tough to play in two very active bands at the same time.
After a friendly split, the replacement was found in DARKO (another longtime friend) in the spring of 2004. After a brief period of rehearsing with the new member, the band proceeded to play several gigs in a few months time, including opening for BLAZE and HELLOWEEN among a few other bands.
In the meantime, the vocals for the 4 songs from the never completed demo have been recorded and we made a promo CD out of them. The recording was done by the band alone, so the sound quality is not something to boast about, but we think it's sufficient enough so anyone can hear what this bands music is all about. The new recording has just been finished and it will soon be put up on the internet for download. Hope you like it!Have you performed in front of an audience?So far we've played live in Croatia, our homeland only. The crowd accepted us pretty well so far and we are looking to spread our demo recordings outside Croatia and maybe get a gig abroad.
