Inspired by his youthful years of playing Sonic Adventure on his Sega Dreamcast and being wondered by its luring soundtrack, Marko Bojkovic has been exploring instrumental guitar sounds for many years. Releasing his eighth studio album “Powercore” this past January on Forerunner Recordings. He’s presenting his new music video for the single “What We Accomplished” ft. guest vocals from Chris Thomas.
Bojkovic explains the track:
“In spring of 2023, I went through the roughest moment of my life. People spread lies about me and because of that, I couldn’t be with an amazing group of friends I made as long as we were hoping, which caused me to go through heartbreak. When I tried to state my innocence, they fought alongside me and helped me try to stay with them. Although we failed to keep me with the group, we formed an even stronger friendship through the experience and accomplished a greater goal…becoming eternal friends. This song is dedicated to them.”

With nothing but positive messaging in mind, Bojkovic encourages listeners during the seven tracks on “Powercore” that they can accomplish anything they set their mind to and believe in themselves. In addition to the guitar work, Bojkovic played all the bass lines on the album along with recruiting guest vocals from Chris Thomas (growling vocals, clean vocals) and Gabe Vermund (clean vocals).
“This album is me finally channeling my personality in my music! Powercore is meant to be accessible to metal fans and non-metal fans alike. It’s a positive listening experience that motivates the listener to go out and accomplish a task and not want to give up. Also a bit of self-reflection such as wanting a better life but having to deal with a lot of bullshit or if a best friend was a real one. A lot of metal songs seem to be about sadness and negativity, and while those songs are very cool and heartfelt, metal songs can be positive and inspire the listener to go out and achieve a set goal!” adds Marko Bojkovic.
Packing the most punch with perfectly combined Progressive Metal, Power Metal, Metalcore and Djent along with influences from Jazz Fusion to classical music, Bojkovic‘s new album “Powercore” is named after his own dubbed genre of Metal called Progressive PowerCore. Musically, the album’s guitar solos are among the best he’s ever written. As a small content creator on YouTube and Patreon, Bojkovic has become known on the internet for his economy-picking prowess, which he showcases to excellent use on the songs featured in this full-length.
