Cradle of Filth was formed in the English town of Suffolk in 1991. The early days were to some extent marked by the sound of black metal, but over time they added gothic and symphony influences to their musical expression, so as it happens when you approach it very eclectically – you put them in the “extreme metal” drawer. To tell the truth, even the band members themselves, especially the founder Dani Filth, were not particularly determined on this issue during their entire career. Cradle of Filth has always drawn its inspiration from gothic literature, poetry, mythology and horror films. The band has always attracted some controversy around itself, while parents and relatives were not necessarily the happiest if you wore COF shirts there in the mid-00s, which a significant number of metallions did.
Three years after their founding, they released the iconic The Principle of Evil Made Flesh, which was included in the “top 10 most important black metal albums of the last 20 years” by Metal Hammer magazine. Four years later, they released probably their most famous release, “Cruelty and The Beast”, a concept album dedicated to the Hungarian baroness with a rather awkward character, Báthora Erzsébet.
The band soon reaches the peak of popularity, they regularly cause controversies around the world, the BBC is making a documentary about them, Dani Filth has the main role in the film “Cradle of Fear…”
Zagreb’s punk folk wellness attraction, the unstoppable live machine Brkovi, will mark the band’s big 20 years throughout 2024 with a series of concerts throughout the region and beyond. The first to be published is the one on the home field. Group Brkovi will perform at Šalata Stadium on Saturday, September 7, 2024.
It was hard to imagine two decades ago what the musical path would turn into over the years, then in the deep underground of a rooted punk folk band. Mustaches were not the first group to combine the seemingly incompatible, but the way they did it, directly and without brakes, could have resulted in either landing on the road or rushing to the stadium concert.
For years, the band played, recorded and published (free downloads from their site will forever be a discographic principle), grew both in the number of audiences and in the number of annual performances, so that in the last 7-8 years they became an irreplaceable headliner of the largest regional festivals, as well as club attraction with more and more performances outside the region. Today, the Beards have a stacked and dangerous set list of big hits such as “I’d rather be drinking September wine with my friends”, “Dangerous drugging”, “Mala”, “Kurvo prokleta”, “Balkan Star”, “Pizda materina”, ” I want my child to listen to folk songs”, “Hormon of happiness”, “I can only do it drunk”, “Happiness, good night”, “I’m not for you”, “Tolerance”, “And I’m going to drink”, “Even punks don’t listen anymore punk” and many others, who have passed 100 million listens on just two platforms – YouTube and Spotify. A large part of them recently found their way to the songbook “Brkovi – the greatest hits” with lyrics and chords of 30 songs chosen by Shamsa69.
Twenty years of the unpredictable and wild musical journey of Shamso69, Tomac, Šarac, Talentino and Paspalj will be marked with a big marathon audio-visual spectacle at the Šalata stadium in the heart of Zagreb, on Saturday, September 7, 2024.

The Slovenian music collective Laibach will present a new concert program and play the cult release “Opus Dei” in a new guise at Boogaloo club in Zagreb on Saturday, October 5, 2024.
Laibach’s album “Opus Dei”, featuring songs such as “Life is Life/Opus Dei”, “Leben heisst Leben” and “Geburt einer Nation”, was originally released in 1987 on the Mute label. The album has been remastered and will be reissued this year after 26 years with plenty of additional historical recordings from various concerts in Europe and America, as well as remixes on three vinyls and four CDs.
Laibach is promoting this reissue with a special tour, and it will be an opportunity to hear all the songs from the album in a new guise for the first time in many years. In addition to the performance of cult material, they will also present a selection of Laibach’s classics and selected songs from their large repertoire, as well as those released before the album “Opus Dei”.
The exhibition of the Laibach group in Zagreb “Ausstelung! Laibach Kunst: The Cube+Unternehmen Barbarossa” at Lauba Gallery from June 29 to August 22, 2024.
The cult Slovenian avant-garde band has been active for four decades with its recognizable visual, symbolic and social expression. After two concerts last year, when they presented the program “Love is Still Alive” in the Culture Factory and the complex author’s symphonic work “Alamut” in the Lisinski Hall, Laibach returns to Zagreb with a new concert program based on their cult release “Opus Dei”. .
The great reviews of last year’s performances speak of the status that Laibach has with the Zagreb audience. Aleksandar Dragaš writes that Laibach is “one of the most globally provocative bands in the history of pop culture music”, and describing the concert at Tvornica, Ivan Laić says that it is “a band that never disappoints.” Laibach is one and only.” Commenting on the performance of Alamut in Lisinski, Lucija Očko writes “The closest description to what I experienced last night would be a ‘fever dream’, a dream in which you leave your body and do not know where you are or what is around you, and a multitude of sounds and voices are screaming at you in the head”, while Bojan Mušćet says that “with a precise, monumental, invasive and thrilling performance, Laibach afforded Zagreb a superb artistic happening.”
The “Opus Dei” Laibach tour is currently taking place in Scandinavia, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Austria, and the new meeting in Zagreb is scheduled at the Boogaloo club on October 5, 2024.
Tickets are on sale from Wednesday, February 28 at a price of 23 euros, and this price will be valid until April 14.

After 12 years, the Greek symphonic death metallers Septicflesh are returning to Croatia, i.e. 13 years since their performance in Boogaloo, where they will play again in front of the local metalion audience! They will be joined on the European “Modern Primitive” tour by popular folk metal Bavarians Equilibrium, and the evening will be opened by OCEANS and Scar of the Sun, two bands for fans of a more modern metal sound. The date to note is October 23 (Wednesday). Early bird tickets at a price of 28 euros can be purchased until May 1. or while supplies last via https://tickets.hangtimeagency.com or at the Dirty Old Shop! The pre-sale price is 32 euros, while on the day it will cost 36 euros if there are any left.
Septicflesh was formed in 1990 in Athens when Soritis Vayenas (guitar), Spiros Antoniou (bass/vocals) and his younger brother Christos (guitar) got together. Already a year later, they released their first EP, “Temple of the Lost Race”, while their first studio album, Mystic Places of Dawn, was released in 1994 and was co-produced by Magus Wampyr Daoloth, keyboardist of Rotting Christ. Since then, they have released 10 more albums, the most current of which is “Primitive Modern” from 2022, which they are promoting on this occasion at Boogaloo.
Their style can be described as symphonic death metal, and this is best evidenced by the live album Infernus Sinfonica MMXIX, which they recorded with a symphony orchestra and choir in Mexico. In addition to the aforementioned founders, the band also includes Kerim “Krimh” Lechner, former drummer of Decapitated who recently sold out Močvara, and Dinos “Psychon” Prassas on rhythm guitar.
