The band ŽREC was founded in summer 2004 in small town of Vysocina, highlands in the south-west of Moravia, Czech Republic. The founder members were Torham (guitar), Soulburner (bass, vocals) and Sarapis (drums). Since the beginning ŽREC tended to the waters of pagan metal but it was just raw form of this style at that time. Fresh wind came with joining new member Ingvarr in the middle of 2005 who played keyboards and soon he brought lot of folklore music ideas spiced by his original way of singing.
In March 2006 ŽREC came to studio and recorded there its first demotape called „Nový vek pohanský“ (In English: "New age of paganism"). It was the first contact with metal scene. This demo contained three songs (each one over six minutes long) and had many positive reviews in interested webzines as well as among metal fans.
In next months the band made some gigs and slowly started composing new songs and upgrading the sound by several authentic folk instruments like violin, wooden flute or shepherd's pipe.
Markedly the notice about ŽREC was aroused as late as in December 2007 when it performed at two shows (25.10. in Brno, CZE and 27.10 in Nitra, SVK) of Perunica Fest II alongside russian bands like Arkona or Alkonost. Except new songs ŽREC also presented the fifth band member – violinist Marvin. But very soon he decided to be no longer the member because of not enough time for rehearsing. The fact is that violin brought varied arrangements to the older songs and gave the music new interesting extensions so it was necessary to find another violin player. For one year was found a guest, slovakian girl Petra, who participated on recording debut album Žertva in spring 2008 and performed at many concerts. In December 2008 she left the band and nowadays ŽREC has re-engaged work with Marvin - he is going to become a band member again for indefinite period. All the problems now seems to be solved so finally the composing of new songs can start in full speed.
Up to this day ŽREC made number of gigs in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Slovenia.

We should really say a big THANKS to you, because you are such good friends!
Thanks for your attention and comments!
Well, we will indubitably send you a copy of our demo. Just connect us with your Slovenian friends..or we can send it to you by post, no problem.
The songs are as they are.. We wish, they would be more metal/troo and speed, but this is what we have for now:)
We should give thanks to our friend Benjamin Kic from Slovenian heavy-metal band Metalsteel, who recorded us, because he did his job really great (considering this is only a demo, we are very satisfied with sound quality).
And thanks for the good wishes for concert with Skyclad. We had a really good time. Guys and girl from England made a great gig, so the whole hall was mosh-pitting:)
And how about you? We saw you are playing at Apocalypsa fest. That is surely going to be a great evening! We wish we could be there;)
And hej; we are still hoping to be able to play with you somewhere again. Because that night at Rog Factory in Ljubljana, we were so lost, that we regretfully did not take the chance to spend some more time with you. (Heh, that place was a bit shocking for all of us, wasn't it?:) But in the end actually everything turned out as a nice show, indeed!)
Have a great Veles night! Hopefully you are having some Halloween party:)
Hails Friend, Thanks for your Support.. Giants of Stone New song in Line, "Heathen Woods",and "To The Elders" taken of Heathen Woods 2009 and Wellcome to Samhain Pagan Black Metal Greetings from the Colombian Highlands.

Really? maybe we can work sth out with them,we just need to cover our traveling expences. Grrr,I'm so angry now that we didn't meet at POA.We would really like to play on Perunica,but they didn't contact us to ask us if we can play for a smaller amount of money...
That's a shame.We had to run back because of our driver,that's why we didn't stay long. We were informed about that Perunica fest,maybe you'll play there?
