As every single phase in the work of this band had various influences,we won`t mention bands,obviously we like everything that is heavy,loud,most of the time also fast stuff,always balancing through metal of all kinds and HC.
Sounds Like
We could use the answer of the INFLUENCES question,because it is very hard to tell what we sound like.It is nothing revolutionary,neither innovative (we are talking about something of 10-15 years ago!!),the main word we like about our music is POWER,we think-and hope you`ll think too-that this stuff is really powerful metal,no matter how it is called..Really hope you`re gonna like our stuff.
Hatross is formed in spring 1990,several months after the split of DEVASTATION
(www.myspace.com/devastation) by the brothers Alex (bass,vocals) and Chriss
(drums),with a new guitarist Mirko,former member of a local band Condition
Critical.This time,the line-up remained a three-piece,the band wrote few new songs
which later will never find their official release.After just one gig,with Thrash-
brothers Warhead(later Cenotaph) and local HC band Anti-Otpad,the band temporary
splits because of the obligatory army service of Alex and Chriss(by the way,that
damned army service in the ex-Yugoslavia was 90% times the reasons of band split-
ups),so the thing remained on a stand-by until next year.In the meantime,Mirko
started to play with Anti-Otpad,and the brothers remained alone again.In May,when
Alex returned,he found few new people;Vedran (guitar),Damir(R.I.P.)(guitar) and
Florijan (bass)-the last two guys from the then defunct Condition Critical.
Chriss returned in October,the day before the war started to rage all over the ex-
Yugoslavia(and it was pure luck,because the army claimed him insane and left him
at the last moment!!),and the band was completed again.In December 1991,the band
shoots an amateur videoclip for the Devastation track "Bigmouths sucks",which was
shown on the Croatian national television,in the Metalmania tv Metal-show.That was
also the only thing that Damir did with the band,he left the band before the clip
was shown,and was replaced very soon by Davor.In May 1992 the band plays a show in Pula
with Carcass and Cenotaph,it was the first visit to Croatia of an international
band,even the war was raging about 100-150km near.After that gig,Hatross starts to
play very intensively,a lot of gigs.Chriss had to left the band for a short time
for personal reasons,so Alex took his place for the live shows.In August 1992 the
band entered the EAR-studio in Stinjan(near Pula) to record their first (third in
the complete existing of band,first as Hatross) demo entitled "A look at tomorrow"
by a song from the british punk band Discharge.It was the second demo entitled by
a song by Discharge,a band to which Alex wanted to give a tribute.The demo had 7
tracks,a new version of "Napalm fields" and the cover of Discharge plus 5 new
tracks.The band was totally reborn,and a lot of gig followed.The demo was released
as a cassette release in March 1993 by an indie-label "Forum Mladih",with the same
title and the addition of 8 live tracks and a studio version of "Bigmouths sucks"
from the Devastation demo.The band played a lot of gigs during 1993 and 1994,until
the beginning of 1995,when Florijan and Davor leaves the band.Alex,Chriss and
Vedran decided to continue as a trio,which was a very wise decision.They continued
with playing gigs,contemporary playing also in two very important projects:the
Punk-rock band Antitodor I Talenti,and the somethingcore band Leukkemiaa
(www.myspace.com/leukkemiaa).In the winter of 1996,the band recorded their last
recording,a three track demo containing two rerecordings from the previous demo
and one new track,Sickman,which appeared on some compilations all over Europe.
The demo was again recorded in the EAR-Studio,and was unfortunately the last demo
recorded there.The band played few more gigs,until March 13th 1997,when they played
the last gig,in the city of Rijeka,the city where the band (as Devastation) played
their first gig 9 years and 11 months before.
There is some plans to continue to thrash,so watch out for some news during this
year.
Hails!
