Ivo Petrović is a progressive metal artist from Pula in Croatia. Classically trained Ivo Petrovic came on the scene through involvement with various thrash and death metal bands, as well as performing in an acoustic guitar duo, and delivering music lectures.
Ivo recorded his first full-length self titled solo album in 2007, which saw the light of the day one year later. A wide palette of musical influences is obvious - Petrović is citing notable jazz performers such as Holdsworth and Di Meola, as well as plentiful metal artists from Malmsteen, Death, Exodus and Dream Theater. His debut album (on which he played all the instruments, save for drums and backing vocals) mirrors his influences, varying from extreme prog metal to classical progressive metal, from jazz ornaments to speed metal. Currently, Petrović is active in the Croatian progressive death metal band Infernal Tenebra.
