Spiral Drop is a Croatian alternative rock/metal band formed in 2002 as project by Robert Trpin after the original group named Spiral Wave broke up the same year just before entering the studio for their first demo.
Most of the songs that were created during the Spiral wave sessions ended on the Spiral Drop demo album 'Ahead'.
Spiral Wave was the band formed in early 2000 by ex-Concrete band members: Zoran Basic (Vocals), Robert Trpin (guitars, vocals), Josko Putilli (guitars) and Ivica Djanovic (drums) after Marjan Desin (Beyond the Oblivion, F.E.B.R.A.) left the band. At the end of year 2000, Emir Mujdzic (ex-Puppy what's your name) joins the band on bass guitar.

In period 2003-2006 Spiral drop has changed the sound combining more electronic elements together with exploring some different progressive rock/metal areas. In 2008 second album 'Paragon' was released with 15 new songs. On the second album there were several guests participating on the new songs including and 3 cover songs. Vocals on song 'Empyrian' and on the cover song 'Time after time' (Cyndi Lauper) are recorded by Matej Trpin (ex-Nitrotaste, ex-Beyond the oblivion, ex-Klapa Kashe, OPG Band).
