Out Of Civilization

Out Of Civilization is an all-female alternative metal and grunge band from Pula, Croatia. Founded in October 2024, the four-piece turns weighty riffs, raw emotion and modern alt-metal instincts into songs that speak to a generation raised between noise and silence.

From a Pula rehearsal room to the festival circuit

Out Of Civilization formed in Pula in October 2024 — four musicians chasing a sound somewhere between '90s grunge and modern alt-metal.

Tara sings. Helena plays guitar, Alegra bass, Lana drums. The first songs came fast, and within a year the band moved from a Pula rehearsal room to clubs and festival stages — this summer, INmusic Festival #18.

A rare all-female lineup on the regional alternative scene.

Out Of Civilization

What we listen to

Alice In Chains and Opeth run deepest. Tool and Gojira bring the weight, Jinjer the aggression, and the Iron Maiden school the melodic DNA. Death gives it teeth.

The vision

To make heavy music that doesn't ask anyone's permission — music that is loud where it needs to be and quiet where it hurts, written for the people who feel like they're on the outside of everything.

Where we're going

A debut EP, a first headline run, and stages across Europe. INmusic Festival is a beginning, not a finish line.

About

Tara is the voice of Out Of Civilization — a frontwoman whose delivery moves between a whisper and a roar within a single phrase. She grew up between grunge records and modern alt-metal, learning early that the heaviest moments are often the quietest ones. Her lyrics lean into themes of identity, pressure and belonging, written for a generation that feels outside the mainstream.

About

Helena writes the riffs the band is built on — downtuned, atmospheric and unapologetically heavy. She approaches the guitar like architecture: each part has to carry weight. Her playing pairs 90s sludge and discordance with the precision and textural depth of modern alt-metal.

Alegra Lozić — Bass, Backing Vocals

About

Alegra locks the low end and doubles as a second voice. Her bass lines are melodic but relentless, the engine beneath the guitars. She also provides backing vocals that give the band's biggest moments their weight and width.

About

Lana is the pulse of the band — dynamic, precise and unafraid of space. She shapes songs from odd-meter grooves to full-throttle crashes, always serving the emotion over the showmanship. Her drumming gives Out Of Civilization its weight and its swing.
