I vs. I (SLO)

Tim Kores Kori – vocal
Aleš Maurič – guitar
Luka Novak – guitar
Oliver Čepek – bass
Nikita Herman – drums

I vs. I is a metal-core/thrash band from Maribor, Slovenia. Formed in 2007, it consists of five members, who share great interest and passion for metal music. The band features Tim “Kori” Kores on vocals, Alex Mauric and Luka Novak on guitars, Oliver Čepek on bass and Nikita Herman on drums. Despite some changes in the rhythm section throughout the years, I vs. I finally has a great team with strong ambitions.

In 2009, they were a part of the famous band competition "ŠOUROCK" and won. They won a professional studio recording session and recorded their first single called “Take this Fall”. As a result, the band received a great deal of media attention and the single was featured on many local charts. At that time, they also joined a very well known booking agency and did many shows in local clubs and festivals such as "Metalcamp”, “Lampiončki”, and “Festival Lent” but the most memorable concert was definitely in 2010 when they opened for the American band “Il Nino” in Austria. After that great experience, the band went into full writing mode and in 2011 entered one of the best studios in Slovenia, the RSL studio, to record their debut album Die-Verse. They worked with a well known German producer Hannes Jaeckl, who produced songs for Anthrax, Exodus, Volbeat, Opeth and many more. This year, they went back to the studio and Black in Bloom was born. I vs. I gained a lot of supporters with this album its expressive lyrics, which are critical towards social problems, injustice and prejudices, made it popular with critics.

In late 2014, I vs. I decided to raise awareness about animal cruelty and illegal dog fighting by recording their new single and video “Become Alive”. I vs. I quickly became of one country’s most media exposed metal bands, supported by a great number of people both at home and abroad.

NčØdNč (SLO)

Miha Ruparčič – guitar
Gašper Oražem – drums
Zoran Bitorajc – guitar, vocal
Sebastjan Vukan – guitar, vocal

NčØdNč band was formed 10 years ago. In 2009, they have released their debut punk-rock album Izlet v neznano. Between 2009 and 2014 they worked on projects: "Val 09", "Rokerji pojejo pesnike 6", "Zrcalo dehumanizacije", and "Kočevje špila – Grupni, Lik of in Razkačeno".

They have slowly transformed from punk-rock to metal and are currently recording a new album. NčØdNč are convinced that music has an influence on the way people think and their new project will show the society and human kind in a new perspective. Guitarist and singer Zoran says: "Throughout history, people always had to resist, because there was always something to fight against. Our new songs will shed light on fears and common misconceptions of people that cannot see the world clearly.”
