StimulanS

STIMULANS comes from Split, Croatia and in the last few years made a major step forward first by playing numerous well received gigs, as well as with the release of the acclaimed "No Words" demo in July 2005. The band's hopes for success lie in determination and hard work, without which surely nothing is possible. Coming from Croatia surely doesn't help when you're playing metal, but the band will hopefuly overcome that obstacle.
Stimulans consists of experienced musicians, who have been around in the local scene for the last fifteen years or so. The band was formed by Ivan Dabro (b) and Mario Culjak (g/v). In the beginning just another hard rock trio cover band, in 2002. the things changed after Alen Djurasinovic became the new drummer. Following that lineup change the band relied more on their own songs made in heavy metal manner, than on the hard rock covers. A somewhat distinctive style was obvious even in the first songs made by the main author Mario Culjak. Due to various circumstances, it wasn't until the spring of 2004. when the band found a new guitarist in Darko Grubisic, that the first promo recording had finally been finished. The band proceeded to play the gigs with various local acts, as well as those with BLAZE and HELLOWEEN.
The second demo, titled "No Words" has been released in July 2005 having a much better sound than the first one. The demo has shown everything Stimulans is about: lots of melody, passionate delivery and a desire to jump out of the classic heavy metal cliche a bit, while still retaining its essence.
With the release of their first official album simply called "Dust" in the late 2010. StimulanS will surely stimulate your senses well, so there is only one question to ask - are you stimulated?
