Zaria was founded in 2011. A year later, the band were already playing concerts with their own music, which was followed by the 2013 release of their first EP, ‘Sij obzorja.’ After a year of concerts, they took to the second stage of the MetalDays 2014 summer festival. December of the same year saw the release of their debut album, ‘Po poti življenja.’ In 2015 they shot their first music video for the song ‘Pozabljeni svet’ and played their first concerts beyond the borders of Slovenia (in Belgium, Croatia, Italy, and the Czech Republic). In March 2017 the singer and flautist Inez Osina left the band and was replaced that same year by Jerca Starc. In November, the new line-up released their first single featuring the new vocals, ‘Where Adventures Begin,’ followed by the release of ‘Warlord’ as a music video in April 2018. They released their second album, entitled ‘Tell the Wind,’ in February 2022.

I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
