Dunraven

Artist

Dunraven is a power trio from Bistrica ob Sotli, a place known for its rich tradition in the underground scene, sometimes referred to as "Seattle ob Sotli." The band's two vocalists, one on bass and the other on guitar, hauntingly trade off lead and harmony in the likes of 90s grunge rock, while their guitar melodies add an essence of Slavic mysticism to the otherwise heavy, distorted riff sound. Often playing around with odd rhythms and almost tribal-like beats anchored by their drummer, Dunraven offers as breath of fresh air in a time of over-production and musical escapism.

Duo Aritmija

However, they soon expanded the lineup, first adding percussion and later incorporating bass guitar and violin. The group recorded their first CD as a five-member ensemble and their second as a six-member band.
