Orlek

Inspiration for the new track came from Zlatorog, a creature of Slovenian myth. Zlatorog's Song, recorded with Tit Potecin. ''According to the old legend, a flower blooms where he left his tracks …''. With those words, Orlek open…

This RockLine piece is all about albums by Slovenian artists that came out last year and are simply too good not to shout about. So here we go! RockLine has dug through the best of the best that the Slovenian music scene gave us last year:…

The pre-holiday mood had well and truly settled in, and our minds had already drifted off to gig mode. This time, back to Dvorana Golovec in Celje for the so-called Rock žur celjskih knezov.

A motley crew of musicians gathered around mastermind Vlado Poredoš has marked the band's twentieth anniversary with a fresh release that doesn't stray from the Orlek playbook.
