Burning Leaf: Musicians who are late metal or alternative music mainly finance everything from their pocket, and be on zero is a big plus – culture
The Pirot Bend Burning Leaf is one of the authentic compositions on our scene, which presented a very interesting and striking sound on two albums.
Starting with HOLD THE TIDES AWAYThe Burning Leaf showed that the combination of genres go naturally and that they were not difficult to attract the first rif and keep it throughout the song.
And then another album arrived Amber & Graywho brought vocals in Serbian and ethno motifs that enter the skin but first listening.
Before performance In the Belgrade Youth Center, where to present this album, Burning Leaf responded to us for a few questions.
How do you feel before the Belgrade concert, does the Trema grow, or are you excited to play some things live?
Stanko Kostic (Stane): Given that we are not the first time we play in Belgrade, we don’t have a little bit, but we are definitely excited. We always love to meet new fans and musicians from other bands, because it is somehow the point (in addition to good music that all connects us).
Aleksandar Kostić (Costa): The excitement is an integral part of the performance. When you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter to you, and we are very much. It’s just a great opportunity to see you with the team.
What do you expect from the audience and what were the reactions to your second album, « Amber & Gray »?
Pavle Jovanovski (PAKS): So far we had the opportunity to meet the Belgrade audience, and never failed. Energy has always been at a high level, and that is most important to us, as a band. So we don’t expect anything less.
Uroš Rakić (Cancer): The reaction is 99% of people reacted positively to our new album. Honestly, we were, and we are still very surprised. First of all, we are very glad that we like what we do. We were perhaps a little timid at the start due to the genres of the genres, but it all fell into the water on the same day when the single came out Through the sun.

How would you describe your sound someone who didn’t hear about you?
It stops: We play a strange connection of everything we love. In our music, we hear everything and everything, most of the stoner, haha, but what is there. Certainly, people hear that, and we trust them. Now, when there is a strict definition, say some metal / rock with a stoner and grunge influences, carefully painted ethno melosa from the shopping area.
How important is it that ethno details are recognized in it and the nature as a motive be highlighted?
Costa: Nature is the foundation of our music. Given that Pirot is surrounded by the Old Mountain, somehow wherever you are in town, the mountain is around you, so it somehow imposed it. I generally believe that specifically that shopping sound is not sufficiently explored, especially in alternative music, where it is almost none. We are very important to us that we show people through our music to people what we have in a personal way. And when we talk about personal relationship, I’m interesting and singing because it is completely different from something I’m used to.
What bands have inspired you during growing up and what are you attracting attention to you today?
Nenad Golubović (pigeon): Each of us grew up with different bands and genres, but as we grew up together, as a band and as friends, we entered some funnel called Burning Leaf, where everything gathered in one place.
PAX: In the beginning of Burning Leaf, we most listened to Down, Black Sabbath, Mastodon, Alice in Chains, Gojira, Inflames, Sentenced, etc. It is generally for the BL good melody and a good rif in the first place. Today, we listen to everything, from CCR to Bal Sagoth, how who. Every member of the BL has its own phaser.
How is it being a musician in Serbia 2025. years?
PAX: How for whom, haha. Musicians who are late metal or alternative music generally fund everything from their pocket, and be on zero is a big plus. It is generally difficult and a lot of this works on enthusiasm.
Cancer: We all work and we have our families, so balancing between music and life sometimes can be a little ungrateful. But, however, we are here primarily for love, so we are somewhat accustomed to some victims.
What should anyone come to Pirot to see and try?
Pigeon: Nature around Pirot is beautiful, especially if you find someone to take you to hidden places that doesn’t know many people know. Dag Banjica is a thermal source where we did personnel for the song Breathand there’s great to go in winter, but it’s just for courage.
Cancer: And of course, try ironed sausage, cheese, and sheep cheese! No mistake!

Three reasons for coming to a concert at the Youth Center?
Fit: Good music, good atmosphere, and one secret surprise.
Pigeon: Where the BL is there is a party! Come chase with a good rif.
What are you reading, listening and watch these days?
Costa: I’m currently listening to New Hangman’s Chair – SaddictionFantastic album. Hard as a mine. I see that Katatonia also kicked the new single, so I turn it until he enters the UVCE. I’m reading Sharaz-deSergeant Graphic Novel Toppja. The drawing is a total madhouse.
PAX: Listen to the album The Fall of HeartsSame catatonia. We just gladed him haha. In addition, I’m getting ready to go to read life 300km per hour, from fang, a 50’s formula driver.
It’s fit: Tom Watts is listened to. Excellent music. Certainly for recommend. Viagra Boys too. I listen to a couple of these new singles until a new album comes out.
Cancer: Severance I started watching the other day, and I was baked after three episodes. Who did not watch, a warm recommendation. And always listens Borknagar and Arcturus!
Golub: I went and I went to watch Severance And I have exactly the same feeling like cancer. And at the moment I started listening to Kingfish again. I am reading records from the underworld from Dostoevsky.
