Gavran:
In the wake of some unsure times due to the serious illness of the guitarist, post doom band Gavran returns with “The One Who Propels” as follow up to their emotive dunk!records released predecessor “Indistinct Beacon”. The band now returns as a 4-piece and worked with Marius Prins (Throwing Bricks) and Tim de Gieter (Amenra, Doodseskader,..), resulting in a massive wall of sound. Drawing from many related genres, the band seamlessly combines elements from doom, sludge, shoegaze and post-rock.
