− | The | + | The name of a band [[Analena]] comes from an ancient Sanskrit language, meaning "like/by the fire". Their music escapes the genres of postpunk, noise, emo or hardcore. The Zagreb-based band with a member from Slovenia has been promoted by [[Moonlee Records]] independent music publisher. Analena's line-up has undergone some line-up changes during their existence. Their beginnings go to Zagreb in the year 1997 when the guitarist Mijo, bassist Six and drummer Zet formed a band. A year later vocalist Ana joined them and almost after four more years a Slovene guitarist, Miran joined the band as the second guitarist and back vocalist. This line-up has remained intact and active for almost a decade until 2006 when Six left the band. After a several-month-long hiatus Analena started to perform again, first with a substitute bassist and later with Ana on the position of not only as a vocalist, but a bassist too. Analena has released and performed as a four-piece ever since. |

+ | Despite the fact that Analena’s sound evades typical musical genres, their music is recognizable through Ana’s protruding screaming vocals and the interplay of guitar cut yet catchy melodies. While being regular guests on both Slovene and Croatian stages, Analena has played hundreds of concerts all over Europe with having a strong fan base in eastern Europe. | ||
