NON FINIRe mai

NON FINIRe mai was born from the ashes of premier Yugoslavian thrash metal band EPIDEMIC ZONE. The band existed from 1987 to 1991 and released two tapes and one 7" EP single, TOUCH AGAINST NORMALITY. They performed with bands like MOTORHEAD, SACRED REICH, ATHROPY, S.N.F.U., and numerous other local and international acts. After several changes in the lineup the original EPIDEMIC ZONE members, Ales (guitar) and Tomi (bass), invited Primoz (drums) and Milos (vocals) to join NON FINIRe mai. In 1992 the band achieved great popularity in the underground scene. Their demo tape, entitled DEMO'92, was selected for the demo of the month in ROCK HARD. Several very good reviews followed in the UNDERGROUND EMPIRE, ZAP, FLEX, NO NAME. Unfortunately they could not perform as an opening act for FUGAZI (10th June 1992-Ljubljana), because of a dramatic accident that happened to bass player Tomi Vucer on 3rd June 1992. After that accident, which crushed the creative vision of NON FINIRe mai, only Ales decided to continue making music under the name of NON FINIRe mai. In 1993 he released a demo tape, entitled DOCUMENT DRAMA, a self financed project of four songs. Reviews in METAL HAMMER and HEADBANGER'S BALL got him an offer to sign a deal with German management for future releases for well known record company. After one year of different demands and legal complications concerning Ales Slovenian nationality he decided to stay and continue on making his D.I.Y. productions.

In 1994 electro punk rock band Strelnikoff invited Ales to play guitar on their recording of cover song "Man machine"-KRAFTWERK for MUTE RECORDS. Later that year they asked him to join the band as a bass player. In late 1997, STRELNIKOFF began recording their new CD BITCHCRAFT. In 1998 BITCHCRAFT was released! The band was persecuted by the Slovenian government and Slovenian Christian church for using an offensive picture on their CD cover.

Ales has since decided to concentrate solely on NON FINIRe mai and various offshoot projects.
