Heroji (, transl. Heroes) were a Yugoslav rock band formed in Belgrade in 1986. Heroji were formed by vocalist Vladimir Đurić "Đura", who was soon joined by vocalist Milutin Petrović, both of them graduates from the Belgrade Faculty of Dramatic Arts. The band had unsteady lineup until 1988, when a lineup consisting of Đurić, Petrović, drummer Ivan Vdović "Vd", keyboardist Miša Savić and guitarist Vladan Aćimović was formed. The group released their only studio album in 1988, disbanding during the same year. Although short-lived, Heroji were a prominent act of the 1980s Yugoslav rock scene, known for their campy and humorous songs. After the group's disbandment, Đurić, Petrović and Savić continued their activity in various fields of culture, Đurić most notably as the leader of the band Đura i Mornari. History 1986–1988 The band Heroji was formed in Belgrade in 1986 by vocalist Vladimir Đurić "Đura", who graduated dramaturgy on the Belgrade Faculty of Dramatic Arts. The band worked in an unsteady lineup, but managed to gain attention of the media with their first demo recording, the song "Noću haramo" ("We Raven at Night"). Soon after the formation, the band was joined by Đurić's friend Milutin Petrović, who graduated film and television directing on the Belgrade Faculty of Dramatic Arts. Petrović was previously synthesizer player in the band Stalker and, from 1984 to 1986, director of the Television Belgrade music chart show Hit meseca (Hit of the Month). During the 1984–1986 period Petrović directed about 30 music videos for Yugoslav rock acts. He became Heroji's second vocalist, and both Đurić and Petrović composed the band's material. Soon after the formation, the band recorded their debut release, the 7-inch single with the songs "Bilder" ("Bodybuilder") and "Instruktor skijanja" ("Ski Instructor"), released through PGP-RTB. The single featured simple rock tunes with humorous lyrics. In 1987 Heroji recorded their second 7-inch single, featuring the songs "Kiza rock" and "E = mc²", stylistically similar to their debut release. The song "Kiza rock" featured guest appearance by actor Slobodan "Boda" Ninković. The single was published with a plain white cover, used by PGP-RTB for promotional single records, with each of the single covers featuring a unique drawing made by members of the band. Before the recording of their debut album, Heroji got a steady lineup, featuring beside Đurić and Petrović, drummer Ivan Vdović "Vd" (formerly of Suncokret, Šarlo Akrobata, Katarina II and Du Du A),
