IVO PETROVIC

Ivo Petrovic biography
Coming from small, but one of the most prolific Croatian's rock towns, Pula, classically trained Ivo Petrovic came on the scene through activity with various trash and death metal bands, simultaneously expanding his horizons, performing in an acoustic guitar duo, and doing musical lectures.

He recorded his first full-length solo album in 2007, which saw the light of the day one year later. A wide palette of musical influences is obvious - Petrovic is citing notable jazz performers such are Holdsworth and Di Meola, as well as plentiful of various metal artists - from Malmsteen, DEATH, EXODUS, and DREAM THEATER, being the first and foremost influence.

Currently, Petrovic is active in a band INFERNAL TENEBRA.

His debut album (on which he played all the instruments, save for drums and backing vocals) mirrors his influences, varying from extreme prog metal to classical progressive metal, from jazz ornaments to speed metal.
