Founded
by guitarist Marko Pavic, together
with Aleks Ferrara on bass and Lorenzo Antonelli on keyboards, PAVIC released their debut record "Taste Some Liberty" in late 2005.
The album, was distributed throughout Europe and achieved critical acclaim in
their home country Italy as well as in Germany and various other European
countries. The reviewers spoke in high terms of the artist's songwriting and
Marko's skills to play the guitar in an exciting way awaking the listeners
interest in the band’s songs, while staying away from boring technical
gimmickry.
The
debut was enriched by the guest appearances of outstanding musicians such as Kee Marcello (Europe, guitar), Tony Franklin (Blue Murder, Whitesnake,
bass), Vitalij Kuprij (Ring Of Fire,
keyboards) and Daniel Flores (Mind’s
Eye, drums).
In
2008, PAVIC returned with “Unconditioned”, the band's second
release. The record was mixed by producer Tobias Lindell at Bohus Sound Studio,
Sweden (Abba, Status Quo, Europe) and mastered by Dragan Tanaskovic (Evergrey, Meshuggah,
In Flames, Göran Edman). Guitarist Kee
Marcello was invited once again to play on the track "Just Go On". PAVIC explored new musical directions
with this album as it offered a mix between Classic and Modern Rock and Metal.
When
the band parted ways with vocalist Chris
Catena in 2010, the search for a new singer led to a temporary break during
which the band members got involved in different studio and live projects. Still
the band continued to develop their sound further, moving into a more
contemporary direction.
In
late 2012 the line-up of PAVIC was
eventually revived by the arrival of new lead singer Joe Calabro, the perfect fit for the
songs the band was recently working on and Antonio Aronne on drums.
The
fresh and modern sound of the brand new album “Is
War The Answer?” required a different sonic approach, so the renowned
American producer Rick Beato
(Shinedown, Fozzy, Ingram Hill) was brought in to mix the songs. Rick’s work on
the ten tracks, which include a cover version of the Duran Duran hit single “Notorious”, lived up to his reputation
as a whiz behind the mixing desk. By bringing in writer and comic book author Roberto Recchioni (Dylan Dog) to write
the story for the video of the song "In
Your Eyes", the bands is underlining its professional way of working. The
video is one of three professionally shot clips, that will be presented to the
public in the coming months.
Meanwhile
PAVIC, who have opened for acts such
as Reb Beach (Whitesnake, Winger, Dokken) and John Corabi (Mötley Crüe) during
the last year, are preparing a series of concerts for 2014 to introduce their
latest effort “Is War The Answer?” to the
audience.
