DESTINATION UNKNOWN

Croatian composer and multi-instrumentalist Ivan MIHALJEVIC, still in his early 20s, has actively been pursuing a career on his local music scene since he was in his teens and is currently a member of Croatia's arguably most popular hard rock band, Hard Time. In the last few years he's also begun exploring his potential as a solo artist. "Destination Unknown" is his second solo production, and was released in the fall of 2010 by the Italian label SG Records.

"Destination Unknown" is similar to Mihaljevic's initial solo production by way of covering many stylistic bases, but in this case moving away from the realms of progressive metal and closing in on a more mainstream-oriented hard rock approach, albeit with tendencies towards frequent use of subtle details instrumentally, compositionally and in the overall arrangements. A core audience of sorts for this disc may be hard rock fans with a taste for sophisticated details in general and those who enjoy Joe Satriani just as much as Deep Purple in particular.
