Ivo Gorivo

Biography

Ivo is the athletic guy you see surrounded by shiny, very loud objects — but it’s way more than just looks. Behind the kit, he’s a focused machine, driving HELLBØUND’s rhythm like a diesel engine running full throttle. Precision, power, and groove — all perfectly locked into the band’s #jumbishmetal pulse.

Ivo is a true expert in fitness and healthy nutrition — something the whole band secretly appreciates (especially after long tours and even longer festival nights). Plus, someone has to carry those heavy cases with drum hardware!

Off stage, Ivo switches gears: jazz playlists, road trips, and his love for cars and complex machinery. If it’s got gears, pistons, or moving parts — chances are he’s already taken it apart and made it run better.
