Eyesburn is a Serbian band which combines hardcore punk and crossover thrash with reggae music.
The band was formed in 1994, and the original line-up featured former Dead Ideas guitarist Nemanja "Kojot" Kojić (guitar, backing vocals), who simultaneously worked as trombonist in Del Arno Band and bass guitarist in Sunshine, Nenad Živić (vocals), former Bloodbath member Aleksandar "Alek" Petrović (drums), former URGH! member Vladimir "Laza" Lazić (bass guitar) and Aleksandar "Gile" Radulović. The name, Eyesburn, was chosen as a comment on the Serbian TV programs which "burned the eyes".
The band's first release, the album Freedomized, was recorded live at Belgrade club KST. During this period Eyesburn mostly played in Belgrade clubs, occasionally elsewhere in Serbia. The band also started working on their first studio album, Dog Life. However, the band's vocalist Živić left the band just several weeks before the band started recording in the studio, and Kojić took over the lead vocalist position. The album featured the songs written in English language and a cover of Bob Marley & The Wailers song "Exodus", which featured guest appearance by Del Arno Band vocalist Jovan Matić.
We all done much wrong
Temptation ever strong
No man is perfect out there
Just watch and pray
Tolerate the other man's way
No man is perfect out there
And I'll see you there
Where life is everlastin
Don't you dare
To leave (change) your beliefs
Move on!
Children of Zion
With grace of mighty Lion
Increase good music outhere
Message of graces
Uplift the human races
Cause no man is perfect out there
