Band history

Pomaranča was formed in 1981 by vocalist Zlatko Magdalenič and guitarist Mijo Popovič. The default lineup of the band featured, beside Magdalenič and Popovič, Tomaž Žontar (keyboards), Marko Herak (bass guitar) and Franc Teropšič (drums).[1] The band performed NWOBHM-inspired heavy metal with blues elements.[1] They released their debut album, entitled Peklenska pomoranča (Hell Orange, a Slovenian translation of Anthony Burgess A Clockwork Orange) in 1981.[2] In the mid-1980s the band's changed their name to Orange and released two English language albums, Madbringer (1983) and Orange III (1985), attempting to achieve international popularity.[2] However, the band did not achieve expected success, and they ended their activity in the late 1980s. The band reunited in the early 1990s with the new vocalist, Boris Krmac, with whom they recorded the album Takoj se dava dol.[2]
