Биография Eyesburn
1990s
The band was formed in 1994, and the original line-up featured former Dead Ideas guitarist Nemanja «Kojot» Kojić (guitar, backing vocals), who simultaneously worked as trombonist in Del Arno Band and bass guitarist in Sunshine, Nenad Živić (vocals), former Bloodbath member Aleksandar «Alek» Petrović (drums), former URGH! member Vladimir «Laza» Lazić (bass guitar) and Aleksandar «Gile» Radulović. The name, Eyesburn, was chosen as a comment on the Serbian TV programs which «burned the eyes».
The band’s first release, the album Freedomized, was recorded live at Belgrade club KST. During this period Eyesburn mostly played in Belgrade clubs, occasionally elsewhere in Serbia. The band also started working on their first studio album, Dog Life. However, the band’s vocalist Živić left the band just weeks before the band started recording in the studio, and Kojić took over the lead vocalist position. The album featured the songs written in English language and a cover of Bob Marley & The Wailers song «Exodus», featuring guest appearance by Del Arno Band vocalist Jovan Matić.
At the same time, Kojić started playing trombone as well, and the band started musical exploration of other genres, such as reggae, dub, drum & bass. On the various artists compilation Korak napred 2 koraka nazad, the band recorded a cover version of Haustor song «Šejn».[1] Soon after, Eyesburn recorded their second album Fool Control, featuring a new guitarist Ninoslav «Nino» Filipović, which was produced by Saša Janković. The songs «No Free Time», «Foolin’ I & I», «Warning Dub», and others, presented the album as a form of modern rock, metal and breakbeat reggae fusion.

In 2001, «Fool control» and the track «Rizlu imaš, ličnu kartu nemaš» appeared on the soundtrack for the film Munje! in which the band appeared as a club band. As a result of their growing popularity, they received an invitation for the pre-election tours «IT’S TIME» and «USE IT (your brain)». The band started performing in former Yugoslav republics and became one of the most active bands in Serbia. During 2001, and 2002, Eyesburn performed at the EXIT festival in Novi Sad.
In late 2001, the band released the CD Gabau!, featuring eight songs, two of which, «No Free Time» and «Foolin’ I & I» were recorded live in Belgrade on June 22, 2001. As guests on the album appeared Disciplin A Kitschme drummer Will Parker, percussionist Leša, and Kanda, Kodža i Nebojša vocalist Oliver Nektarijević. With the Jamaican dub poet Ank Steadyspear, the band recorded the album Cool Fire - Eyesburn meets Ank Steadyspear. The album was recorded separately, as Ank Steadyspear sent the already recorded vocal sections over the Internet, and the band recorded the music to the recordings. The band appeared live with Ank Steadyspear as an opening act for Lee Scratch Perry. The following year, the band’s two songs, «Junglezburn» and «Foundation» appeared on two different Metropolis Records various artists compilations.[2]
In 2003, the band released the album Solid which, produced by Saša Janković, which was more hardcore oriented than the previous release. The band’s growing popularity lead to an invitation from Max Cavalera to record together the song «Moses» on the Soulfly album Prophecy and play on the 2004 Prophecy Europe Tour. Kojić also appeared on the Soulfly album Dark Ages, on the song «Innerspirit».
In March 2005, the line-up changed, when Lazić and Filipović left the band, and the new album was recorded by the lineup which included Kojić, Dalibor Vučić (bass, clarinet), Aleksandar Petrović, Vukašin Marković (trombone), Dušan Petrović (baritone saxophone). How Much for Freedom?, recorded in the Novi Sad M Studio and Zemun Cameleon Studio and produced by Boban Mulunović, featured the cover version of Bob Marley & The Wailers song «So Much Trouble In The World». The album was released under the PGP-RTS record label in Serbia and Austria. After the album release, the band took a break and Kojić pursued a solo career, releasing the album Coyote Meets Terrortone Sound Production, and participating several other projects.[3]

In April, 2011, it was announced that the band would be reuniting in the lineup: Aleksandar Petrović «Alek» (drums), Vladimir Lazić «Laza» (bass), Nemanja Kojić «Kojot» (vocals, trombon), Aleksandar Nikić «Lale» (guitar), Zoran Đuroski «Đura» (guitar) and Vukašin Marković (trombon, backing vocals).[4] It was also announced that the saxophonist Dušan Petrović is likely to rejoin the band as well.[4] The reunited Eyesburn had their first performance on June 17, 2011, at Belgrade’s SKC, on a concert which was a part of the Jelen Top 10 Tour.[5]
