Serbian modern metal band LAVINA has won the national final of Serbia's selection process for the Eurovision Song Contest.

They will represent their country at the contest in Vienna, Austria this May with their song "Kraj Mene".

This is a significant achievement, as LAVINA is a relatively new band that has only been active since 2020.

Their debut album "Odyssey" was released in November 2022 and they have since toured extensively throughout Europe.

The band's sound combines various metal and rock influences with poetic lyrics and energetic live performances.

LAVINA's selection as Serbia's Eurovision representative marks a major milestone for the band, who are known for their unique blend of styles.

Their upcoming performance at the Eurovision Song Contest is sure to be an exciting one, and fans around the world will be eagerly anticipating their show.

In related news, LAVINA has released several singles since 2024, including "In Your Absence", "Iron Will", and most recently "This, Too, Will Pass".

Their sophomore album is also reportedly due later this year.

The band's achievement in winning the national final is a testament to their growing popularity and musical prowess.

LAVINA will be the first metal band since LORDI in 2006 to represent Serbia at the Eurovision Song Contest.

As one of the most popular and influential metal bands of all time, LORDI won the contest with their song "Hard Rock Hallelujah" back in 2006.

The band's performance helped establish them as one of Europe's biggest rock sensations.

This year's Eurovision Song Contest will feature LAVINA performing "Kraj Mene" on May 12th, as part of the contest's first semi-final.
