CORDURA
Bio:
SLO:
CORDURA je nova slovenska progressive metal skupina. Ideja o pretvorbi iz one-man projekta v skupino se je porodila kitaristu Timu Drakslerju (ex-Eliminator, Interceptor), po tem, ko je v začetku leta 2012 že izdal svoj EP. Na njem je sodeloval tudi nadarjen vokalist iz Čila César Andrés Vigouroux Gutiérrez (Rusted). Ostali člani v bendu so Uroš Apat(bas) ter Grega Plamberger (bobni). Ko je izšel debitantski album Astral Projection, se je band razšel s Cezarjem. Novi vokalist je postal Nejc Heine in v tej postavi so večino leta 2014 promovirali album Astral Projection po Sloveniji. Nastopili so tudi na festivalu Metaldays v Tolminu.
9. 12. je izšel drugi album z naslovom Pantheon Of Bionic Gods katerega trenutno predstavlja Cordura tudi v živo.
