Kraljevski Apartman, a Serbian heavy metal band from Belgrade, was formed in 1995 by guitarist Zoran Zdravković and vocalist Zoran "Lotke" Lalović. The band's origins trace back to 1979 when Zdravković founded the hard rock band Apartman 69. Kraljevski Apartman emerged after a hiatus, with their debut album Long Live Rock'n'Roll released in 1997. The band gained significant popularity with their third album, Rocker (2002), which featured the hit single "Ranjena zver". Their subsequent albums, including Ruka pravde (2004) and live recording Best of Live (1996-2005) (2005), further solidified their status in the Serbian heavy metal scene. The band toured extensively, performing at notable festivals and supporting Deep Purple at a concert in 2004.
