After an uncertain period marked by the serious illness of their guitarist, Gavran returns more powerful than ever. For The One Who Propels, the band joined forces with Marius Prins (Throwing Bricks) and Tim de Gieter (Doodseskader, ex-Amenra). The result is an album that balances raw vulnerability with sonic intensity.
A new sonic dimension
With this release, Gavran also presents a renewed lineup. Due to Jamie Kobić's switch to guitar and vocals, and the arrival of Tinus Kardolus (bass) and Roy Zwinkels (drums), the band has transformed into a quartet. This extra layer of guitar creates unprecedented depth; a massive wall of sound in which doom, sludge, shoegaze, and post-rock flow seamlessly into one another.
Themes: From hope to necessity
Where Gavran's earlier work sought hope, The One Who Propels digs deeper. The album focuses on the inner drive and the sheer necessity to force change.
"Gavran is our means to look life and death straight in the eye," says Jamie Kobić. "It enables us to embrace emotions such as despair, grief, and anger with absolute attention. Join us on this intense journey into the timeless space of inner silence."
