Growing up in Zagreb, Vanja discovered Heavy Metal and eventually
the extreme sounds of Death and Black Metal. Music became a
constant in his life – even when making music itself didn't.

After years of playing in different bands, frustration eventually
led Vanja to sell his guitar and stop making music. Six years
later, already in his 40s, he found his way back. At the same
time, the pressure surrounding his PhD pushed him to a point
where his seemingly successful life no longer felt successful at
all.

We talk about finding his way back to Metal, individuality,
personal struggles and how difficult experiences gradually became
material for his music.

Vanja also speaks about losing his dog, the grief that followed
and how those experiences transformed songs about inner demons,
depression and fighting your way back.

Sometimes music isn't an escape from what you're going through.

Sometimes what you're going through becomes the
music.
