Bio
from the band: Back in 2011 Kalin Kolev decided to form a death metal
band so he started writing riff material on his own. Soon, somewhere
around July of the same year, Zhivko Stoyanov, an old friend of Kalin,
came into the picture. Kalin asked him if he was willing to play bass in
a nameless death metal band and he confirmed without hesitation. Kalin
wanted to do vocals also and then it was time to look for a second
guitarist and a drummer. Ivan Ivanov, also a good friend of Kalin, was
the first and the current person to become a second guitar player. The
three continued writing riffs and observing ideas and had a couple of
songs done pretty fast. The tough part was finding an accurate drummer
to play something as challenging as death metal. After going through
several players, the band understood that it would have a hard time
finding the correct guy. The band went through several name ideas and
chose CONCRETE for a permanent solution. On April 18th, 2012 they
released their first self-titled EP "Annihilation Of Humans", containing
5 songs. Even though it was recorded in poor conditions, it was a
strong start and was greatly appreciated by both fans and media. The
band used a drum machine for that release. In the summer of 2012
CONCRETE was introduced to Ivo Ivanov (Lord Curse), formerly of a local
thrash metal band, named Ira Deum. Kalin, Zhivko, and Ivan decided to
take a test rehearsal with Ivo and things came out pretty good right
from the start. Many shows with local bands followed including opening
acts for a couple of foreign colleagues both in venues and open air. In
November 2014, founding member Ivan Ivanov (rhythm guitar) decided to
part ways with the band. The post was filled soon enough by Peter
Dimitrov. The band remained in that lineup until June 2018, when drummer
Ivo Ivanov left the band due to personal reasons. His position has been
filled by Pavlin Nikolov since then. Currently, CONCRETE is located in
its hometown Shumen, playing shows and constantly working over new
material of PURE DEATH METAL.
