Source-derived summary

Monolit was a metal band from Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, formed in 1988. It was founded by the late Zlatko Mehić, Marin Bago, Predrag Glogovac and Slobodan Ernjakovic.

Biography

Same year, they recorded the first three-song demo that got a good reception amongst both fans and critics. In 1990, they recorded the second three-song demo, although it was a slight departure from earlier works that were characterized by more heavier direction. New sound was welcomed throughout Yugoslavia in all the important music magazines In addition, the band expanded their fan base, which culminated with few big live shows around the country.

In 1991 they had their first album's worth of material recorded, and they played in the Sarajevo at the biggest metal festival in former Yugoslavia, in front of 2,500 fans. In 1992 civil war was spreading across the country and band is broke up. Upon their first meeting since the civil war in 2006, two band members paid a tribute to a lost friend. They re-recorded "Kletva", in a memory of the band's drummer and the founding member, Zlatko Mehic (Zuba), who had died in the war in 1993.

The decision was made for the band to continue on, even though Predrag is in Norway, and Slobodan in Canada.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “metal band from Bosnia and Herzegovina” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
