A single DeBaser review frames Satan Panonski (Ivica Čuljak) as a violent, transgressive punk performer from Yugoslavia. The 1989 album Ljuljajmo ljubljeni ljubičasti ljulj is described as lo-fi, raw and intentionally abrasive. The review emphasises his criminal history, time in prison and psychiatric institutions, and his enlistment at the outbreak of the Balkan war. The record is called objectively awful but viscerally compelling.

For:Fans of punk, underground Yugoslav music, performance art and transgressive music history.
