In the spring of 1976, two brothers, Rick and Serge Dilorenzo, set out to pursue their lifelong dream of musical success. That journey gave birth to VIKTIM.

Over the years, they navigated the highs and lows of a tough industry. Along with mastering their craft, they understood the importance of financial discipline and marketing. As the brothers often said, “No matter the business, a business is a business. Only the playing field changes.” This mindset, combined with their talent, helped them rise quickly.

Within just five years, VIKTIM signed a record deal and soon reached international attention with two successful releases. Billboard Magazine even referred to them as “America’s Duran Duran” after the debut of their self-titled album VIKTIM, which featured two radio singles: “Dancers In The Night” and “Night Living.” Their second album, Shereena, followed with another radio single of the same name.

After years of recording, touring, and television appearances, the band stepped back to explore the creative world behind the scenes. During this time, they built their own facility, Alamo Recording Studios, where they focused on writing, recording, and producing for other artists.

Behind every successful artist are the people who support and elevate the work—individuals across finance, law, marketing, production, engineering, promotion, and more. Two of those key figures in VIKTIM’s story were Dan and Brian Chrabas, a father-and-son team the band met early in their career.

Although their original collaboration wasn’t completed, VIKTIM went on to achieve success through other paths. Brian, however, always believed the unfinished project would one day be revived. By the time that day finally arrived, his father Dan had passed away.

Today, Rick and Serge Dilorenzo, together with their long-time partner Brian Chrabas, have come together once again. They are continuing the journey they began decades ago, and they invite you to join them as VIKTIM enters a new era.
