The group disbanded for the second time in 2023.
Biography
Formation, rise to prominence and breakup (1989–1997)
The band's history began in the mid-eighties, when two seventeen-year-olds, Zoran Marinković "Marinko" and Goran Marić "Max", started writing for the famous Yugoslav music magazine Džuboks under the pseudonyms McCrywack and Max Radackow. [1] At the same time, they began making some home demo recordings which led to the decision to form a band. The band was formed in 1989 under the name Baader-Meinhof. After changing the name to Saint Gallen and later to China Blue, the band got the name Bjesovi (which is the title of Croatian language translation of Dostoyevsky's novel Demons). [1] Marić and Marinković, both vocalists and songwriters, were backed by Predrag Dabić and Goran Filipović on guitars, Božidar Tanasković on bass guitar and Goran Ugarčina on drums. [1]
In October 1990 the band recorded their debut album U osvit zadnjeg dana (At The Last Day's Dawn), released on cassette only in 1991. [1] Guest appearances featured Vladimir Vesović and Nikola Slavković on guitars and Dejan Marinković, who provided narration on the track "On je sam" ("He Is Alone"). [1] The album featured the song "Džordžija" ("Georgia"), with lyrics from Philippe Soupault's poem "Georgia" to which Zoran Marinković wrote the music, as well as the cover version of the Yugoslav beat band Tomi Sovilj i Njegove Siluete track "Vule Bule", which itself was a cover of Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs' " Wooly Bully". [1] On the track "Zli dusi" (the title of Serbian language translation of Dostoyevsky's Demons), the lyrics included lines from the Gospel of Luke and Alexander Pushkin's poetry. [1] The album attracted attention of the audience and the press with its dark music and lyrics. [1]
The year 1991 brought a new lineup, since Ugarčina and Tanasković left the band and were replaced by Dejan Petrović on bass guitar and Miroslav Marjanović on drums. [1] The band won first places on the 1993 Gitarijada Festival and the 1994 Brzi Bendovi Srbije (Fast Bands of Serbia) festival, [1] which eventually led to a recording of a new album. The untitled album, also known simply as Bjesovi, was produced by Goran Živković and Aleksandar Radosavljević. [1] Heavily influenced by grunge, [1] the album showed the band in a new style, with heavy sound, dark ambient and pessimistic lyrics with mystic and macabre motifs. [2] Two tracks from the album, "Vreme je" ("It Is Time") and "Ime" ("Name"), the latter including a quotation from the novel Dune by Frank Herbert, [3] were included on a various artists compilation New Rock Power '93 - '94. [4] The album was met with praises by the music critics. [2]
The band's third studio album, Sve što vidim i sve što znam (All I See and All I Know), was released in 1997. [1] The lineup which recorded the album included a new drummer, Igor Malešević from the band Hazari, and the original bassist Božidar Tanasković. [1] Unlike the previous record, Sve što vidim i sve što znam featured more optimistic ambient, with religious topics and songs dealing with end of socialism. [1] The track "Sve će se doznati" ("All Will Be Revealed") included the theme from James Bond combined with quotations from the New Testament. [1] The album was produced by band themselves and Ivan Kljajić, and Dragoljub Marković (keyboards), Vladimir Mikić (double bass), Goran Đorđević (percussion) and Svetlana Spajić (vocals) appeared on the album as guests. [5] Soon after the release of the album, the band ceased to exist. [1]
With the foundation of the Christian radio Svetigora (Holy Mountain) in 1998, Marić started hosting the show Deca apokalipse – deca otkrovenja (Children of Apocalypse – Children of Revelation), featuring appearances by numerous rock acts. [1] In 1999 Marić took part in the Christian rock various artists project Pesme iznad istoka i zapada (Songs Above East and West), which consisted of tracks recorded on lyrics written by Nikolaj Velimirović. [1]

[1] The track "Raduj se" ("Be Happy") featured lyrics "Vreme mu ističe, zato besan je" ("His time is out, that is why he is mad"), which were not included on the original studio version since they were alluding to the former president of FR Yugoslavia Slobodan Milošević. The album was produced by Zoran Đuroski "Đura" from the band Eyesburn and the cover was designed by Marinković and the band's original drummer Goran Ugarčina. [6]
