Haiduk Deliver An Explosive Barrage of Dark Lore In Music Video for âMorphâ Off âDiabolicaâ
Haiduk, the solo project of Luka Milojica is an unrelenting, hypnotic force that greets listeners with a barrage of death-infused black metal that is prominently displayed on the latest release âDiabolicaâ, which was released in September last year. Now, Haiduk is releasing a music video for the single âMorphâ. The entirety of Haiduk‘s discography, which spans four full lengths, takes place in the fantasy medieval realm of Callost, the different albums feature maps, descriptions, and stories set in the world. Milojica explains the album and the single in further detail:
âPure evil, speed, and darkness, âDiabolicaâ is fast and crushing like a volcanic eruption., it ties together the dark lore of the previous albums with new stories, maps, and a timeline. âMorphâ was one of the first songs written for âDiabolicaâ. Itâs about a shape-shifting demon who can take the form of a shadow-being. I wanted the song to have a dark atmosphere and have a lot of energy and speed.â
Like the album art depicts, âDiabolicaâ is an eruption of pent-up anger and power. Every song on the album is about building momentum and speed and blasting the listener with constantly evolving riffs and melodies. With pure speed and relentless riff attacks, the album crushes and keeps you on edge through aggressive arrangements as well as melodic and hypnotizing parts that create a mysterious atmosphere.
Haiduk was created to be the channel for Milojicaâs dark musical desires, turning his ideas into a solo project was inspired by acts such as Vintersorg and others from Sweden and Norway. Lightning-fast, and bursting with energy, Haiduk is recommended for fans of Bolt Thrower, Vomitory, and Dissection.

About:â
Haiduk is the death metal solo project by guitarist Luka Milojica. The project arose with the raw demo â âPlaguesweptâ in 2010.
Working in solitude, Haiduk unveiled the full-length debut âSpellbookâ in 2012; a black magic conjuring of fast guitars and powerful riff attacks. Invoking spells of demonic strength, Haiduk raised forces from the infernal depths, sealing arcane powers into the âDemoniconâ in 2015; a blackened tome of blasting distortion. Chanting words of astral terror, Haiduk became the âExomancerâ (2018); summoner of cosmic darkness.
Frozen in darkness under the ash cloud, the desolate ground opens. Octavia erupts, releasing the doomed king from the burning abyss. Devils swarm, carving a path of destruction for a new demonic domain â Diabolica (2021).
