Metak

Metak (trans. Bullet) was a Yugoslav rock band formed in Split in 1978.

The group was formed on the initiative of bass guitarist Mirko Krstičević and poet and lyricist Momčilo Popadić. The first lineup of the band featured, beside Krstičević, vocalist and guitarist Ranko Boban and drummer Matko Jelavić, the three soon joined by guitarist Željko Brodarić "Jappa". After the departure of Boban, Brodarić took over the vocal duties, and the group was joined by two new members, Željko Brodarić's brother Zlatko (guitar) and Doris Tomić (keyboards). After releasing two studio albums and gaining significant popularity on the Yugoslav rock scene, the group disbanded in 1981, the members continuing their careers in other fields of music: Željko Brodarić as a solo artist and successful producer, Krstičević as a composer of film and theatre music, Zlatko Brodarić as a studio musician and performer of instrumental music, and Jelavić as a popular pop singer.
