Karol Mikloš (born 1972) is a Slovak recording artist. A former member of a gothic rock band known as Shellwoy (1992–1993), recorded his own self-titled demo EP in 1994.[3] His full-length debut, The Same Mist Here (1997), saw its official results on Róbert Gregor's Agency – G.A. Records. The guitar-based work made under production by Ladislav Lučenič,[4][5] spawned a Grammy Slovakia Award-nomination as the New Artist.[5] Its electronic follow-up issued on Millenium Records, Vis-à-vis (2002), became a Best Male Vocal Performance-nominee in favor of local Aurel Awards.[6] While The Past of the Future (2008) with a more acoustic sound, was nominated for so-called Radio Head Awards, for a change. Apart from performing and composing skills for his own, Mikloš has occasionally been involved in production, audio and mastering engineering, mixing and programming for fellow artists.

On the occasion of the 2015 Record Store Day, Mikloš issued his most recent release, "One Life More or Less".

Discography

"Listening to Mikloš doesn't mean to hear some sonic boom of a pioneer and trailblazer, it is more likely an incredibly skilled tribute to foreign models with no need to be ashamed for and to dissociate self from them."

—Tadeáš Haager, Radio Wave, 2008.[7]

Awards

Apart from a number of nominations for domestic music awards, all received in response to his album releases, in the Czech Republic The Past of the Future was listed among the Radio Wave's Albums of the Week in June 2008.[8][9]
