Compared to Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia or North Macedonia, Montenegro’s screamo and DIY scene has remained nearly invisible for years. That’s what makes idrownedintitograd such a surprising and welcome emergence.

Based in Podgorica, idrownedintitograd is a new screamo project whose name references the city’s former Yugoslav-era name, Titograd, used between 1946 and 1992 before reverting after the breakup of Yugoslavia. In January 2026, the band released a two-track untitled demo EP.

The first track opens with dark, flangered guitar arpeggios layered over a sample discussing Yugoslavia before collapsing into distorted strumming, angular blast beats and raw, anguished screams. The second track wastes no time with urgent riffs, chaotic but controlled drumming and emotionally charged vocals push everything forward in barely ninety seconds.

Despite its short runtime, the demo already shows a strong instinct for tension and atmosphere, balancing emotional urgency with the kind of frantic instability that defined older European screamo acts.

U poređenju sa Srbijom, Hrvatskom, Slovenijom ili Severnom Makedonijom, crnogorska screamo i DIY scena godinama je ostajala gotovo nevidljiva. Upravo zato pojava projekta idrownedintitograd deluje toliko iznenađujuće i osvežavajuće.

Baziran u Podgorici, idrownedintitograd je novi screamo projekat čije ime referiše na nekadašnji jugoslovenski naziv grada  'Titograd' korišćen između 1946. i 1992. godine, pre vraćanja starog imena nakon raspada Jugoslavije. U januaru 2026. bend objavljuje demo EP sa dve neimenovane pesme.

Prva pesma otvara se mračnim, flangerom obojenim gitarskim arpeđima preko sempla o Jugoslaviji, pre nego što se uruši u distorzirano rifovanje, uglaste blast beatove i sirove, bolne krikove. Druga pesma ne gubi vreme sa hitnim rifovima, haotično ali kontrolisano bubnjanje i emotivno nabijeni vokali guraju sve napred kroz jedva minut i po trajanja.

Iako veoma kratko, izdanje već pokazuje snažan osećaj za tenziju i atmosferu, balansirajući emotivnu urgentnost sa frenetičnom nestabilnošću karakterističnom za stariji evropski screamo.
