By the begining of year 2000. Embrio was formed by a vocalist & guitarist Branimir Vugdelija and bassist Vlade Marinovic. Influented by their favorite bands like Black Sabbath, Type 0 Negative, HIM.... they wanted to form a band of their own. Branimir's younger brother, Rino, was picked for a drummer and not much time passed untill Damir Samardzic joined the band as rythm guitarist.With the same setup as mentioned they won their first award from the local amateur music competition in Sinj. After not so much time later crew felt the urge to have sum fresh blood in band and get their music to the next level and keyboardist was born, Petar Radovic joined the band. As a 5-members band and ocassional live performances band also creates their own music material, as song "Our Bloom", which was created mainly by Branimir Vugdelija. For a short while Goran Mijic joined the band as a session lead guitarist. By the end of year 2002. they recorded their first demo album called "To my Beloved...". In the middle of year 2003. they won the top prize at local amateur music competition S.A.R.S. (sinjski amaterski rock susret), and after that their first opportunity to play beyond Sinj showed up.Embrio headed to Zagreb, capital city of Croatia to play a gig in club "Mocvara". By the begining of year 2004. by his own will Rino Vugdelija leaves the band due to loss of inspiration and Antuca Ugrin comes aboard.Meanwhile they work on the new material and recording the new album.Just when the album was supposed to be done, some dissidences came up and Vlade and Antuca left the band. Denis Brkic got in band as a brand new bassist and on the empty spot of drummer comes a former drummer, Branimir's younger brother, Rino. In the end of 2005. year they finished their 2nd album called "Gabriels Grief". In comparation to the previous album, Embrio achieved one unique sound which passed thru many changes. In the year 2007. they perform beyond Sinj more often than ever. And again, as the bands latest setup developement they recruited Nikola Buljan as new lead guitarist leaving more space to Branimir for singing. For the first time of history of Embrio, band is consisted of 6 members. Preparations for the 3rd album have begun. On a sad day of 21 of July 2007., on a saturday around 5 pm, the day after concert called "Resurrection", band has confronted to the tragic loss of brother, friend and the most important member of Embrio, Branimir Vugdelija who sadly passed away. That was certainly the hardest day for Embrio. Despite the crushing blow to bands heart and irreplaceable loss, band decides to keep up with work, and considers that Branimir himself would have desired it like that.Role of the vocalist was taken by Petar Radovic and for a new keyboardist Embrio recruits a good friend, Josip Markovic, who meanwhile played in black/goth band Frivolous Stir from Split. Band starts to write a new chapter surrounded by enormous support of numerous fans and Branimir (whose spirit will never fade away from a band) and sets sails to next events.
