[edit] Biography

The basis of the band was formed in 1977, when singer and occasional guitarist Darko Rundek met bassist Srđan Sacher. Two years later they formed Haustor, together with Boris Lajner (drums) and Ozren Stiglić (guitar). During 1980 they added a keyboardist and a brass section, and Haustor released its first album, Haustor, in 1981. All of the songs were written by either Sacher or Rundek, and the Sacher-penned "Moja prva ljubav" became a hit. After a pause, which was caused by the members' obligations in the JNA, their second album, titled Treći svijet, was released in 1984. However, soon afterwards Sacher left the band, leaving Rundek as the sole composer and lyricist of the band. Haustor released two more albums, Bolero (1985) and Tajni grad (1988), before breaking up in 1990.
