OJUŽILO – First album by ZOSTER

The first album by Zoster, a band from Mostar, is out at the beginning of August.
The band emerged five years ago, result of "the society’s low immune system and as a need to say and do something", as the members of Zoster put it. The very name of the band originates from a kind of herpes which appears as a result of low immunity.
In an attempt to express their attitude, they have chosen reggae, considering it most appropriate for this turbulent era, in where even a tinge of aggressiveness is perceived as excessive, even when it comes to music. The first Zoster’s single called "Majko Jamajko" was recorded in 2003, never expecting it will become a hit on the local Herzegovinian radio stations. Demo album was recorded a year later.
Their first album "Ojužilo", released by Gramofon label, will have twelve songs recorded in the Baraka studio over last three years. The lyrics have been written for most part by Mario Knezović, while the arrangements and music are all by Zoster. Zoster are: Atila Aksoj (guitar, keyboards), Goran Rebac (drums, percussions, marimba), Mario Knezović (vocals, guitar), Dražen Planinić (bass) and Mirko Jakovljević (bass, guitar). There are a number of guest performers from Mostar and other towns of Bosnia and Herzegovina on Zoster’s debut album.
