Wild Angels

Introduction

Wild Angels, a Yugoslav rock band known locally as Divlji Anđeli, has recently emerged as a compelling lead in the search for the origins of "The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet" (TMS). Formed in 1982 and disbanding in 1984, the band's timeline coincides closely with the presumed recording period of TMS.

Background on Wild Angels

• Formation and Disbandment: Wild Angels was formed by vocalist "Boca", drummer "Miki", and other band members. Their style was a blend of rock and pop, characteristic of the early 80s Yugoslav music scene. The band had a brief but impactful presence before disbanding .

Investigation into Their Involvement

• Initial Contact with Drummer Miki: The recent investigation gained traction when Miki, the band's drummer, was contacted. Initially, Miki did not recognize TMS as their work but noted stylistic similarities with a popular song they performed called "Voli te tvoja zver". Intriguingly, after a short interval, Miki recalled that TMS might actually be a demo recorded by Boca in 1984 .
• Demo Recordings and Studio Details: Miki provided instrumental demos from the same period, suggesting they were recorded in the studio of Srdjan Marjanović, where TMS might have also been recorded. These demos shared instrumental similarities with TMS, adding credibility to the lead. Miki mentioned that the demos were instrumental tracks for an unfinished Wild Angels album, and the vocals were added later by Boca after the band had disbanded .

Community Response and Analysis

• Skepticism and Cautious Optimism: The TMS community has approached this lead with both skepticism and hope. The sudden change in Miki's statement and the lack of direct vocal evidence have raised questions. However, the stylistic match and the timing of the demo recordings have made this one of the more intriguing leads in recent times .

Current Status of the Lead

• Ongoing Investigation: As of the latest discussions, efforts are ongoing to gather more evidence and possibly locate Boca, who is believed to have moved to Germany post-band activities. The lead is currently active, with researchers looking to verify the authenticity of the demos and any potential recordings of Boca that could confirm his involvement in TMS .
