Biografia
DRINKING SKULL WAS FORMED IN ZAGREB, CROATIA, IN 1987.

FIRST DEMO MATERIALS "SENTINEL OF NOISE" AND "APOCALYPSE! WAR!" HAVE BEEN RECORDED IN 1989. THEIR FIRST ALBUM "OUR FAITH, OUR LIFE...OUR DEATH" WAS RELEASED IN 1990. THAT FURIOUS THRASH METAL ALBUM HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED EXTREMELY WELL BY FANS, SO THE BAND CLIMBED TO THE TOP OF CROATIAN HEAVY METAL SCENE VERY SOON.

IN THE MEANTIME, THEY’VE BEEN PROMOTED ON PUBLIC TELEVISION WITH GREATLY PERFORMED SPOT “RETALIATION FROM THE UNDERGROUND” AND THAT HAPPENING HELPED TO ORGANIZE AND PLAY MANY CONCERTS NOT ONLY IN CROATIA BUT ABROAD AS WELL.

IN 1992. THE SECOND ALBUM ENTITLED "AMALGAMATION" WAS RELEASED AND THEY BECAME ALMOST THE BEST HEAVY METAL BAND IN THE COUNTRY. THE REAL TOP OF POPULARITY THEY HAVE REACHED WITH THE THIRD ALBUM "PEOPLE THAT MAKE YOU FEEL SMALL" RELEASED AT THE END OF 1993.

A LONGER PAUSE HAVE BEEN TAKEN AFTER THAT, BUT AT THE BEGINNING OF 1997. THE RETROSPECTIVE ALBUM "THE END OF DECADE" WAS RELEASED ANNOUNCING THE FURTHER PROSPERITY. THIS ALBUM CONTAINES MANY SONGS UNRELEASED ON PREVIOUS RELEASES, SOME REMIXES AND SOME ORIGINAL VERSIONS.

NEW ALBUM "EVIL OR DIVINE" WAS RELEASED IN JUNE, 1999. A VERY POSITIVE PROGRESS IS OBVIOUS, ESPECIALLY WITH SOME SERIOUS CHANGES OF STYLE. THIS ALBUM PRESENTS A VERY UNIQUE COMBINATION OF VARIOUS METAL STYLES BASED ON PARTICULAR DARK AND SPOOKY ATMOSPHERE. THE FACT THAT THIS IS EVIDENTLY THE MOST MATURED AND THE BEST ALBUM DRINKING SKULL RELEASED SO FAR, SHOULD BE CREDITED TO THE PERFECT PRODUCTION AS WELL. THIS RELEASE IS DEFINITELY THE MOST AGGRESSIVE AND MOST IMPORTANT STEP TOWARD THE TOP. .
