If lately you haven’t succeeded in discovering a quality undergroung band, Metal Hangar 18 is here to help. Did we tease your curiosity? Well, we’ll torture you no more – it is Haiduk we are talking about – the sole project of Luka Milojica. As you probably already know, this man has Balkan origin, but you can’t see the mark of the specific regional musical rhythms in his blood. On the contrary, the die-hard fans will enjoy Spellbook – ten merciless compositions, containing death, thrash and even black metal elements, performed at a quite high technical level. There is a lot of advantages in being a lone wolf – led only by his own instinct, the ubiquitous Milojica created a modern, and at the same time classically sounding material, and what’s more important – it sounds naturally and above-board. Luka takes care of everything – from the monstrous vocals and the occult lyrics to the guitars and the drum programming. You can’t deny the fact this Canadian possesses undisputable composer gift for extreme music. It’s such a crime he still has no label to sign with.
