Dutch doom/sludge metal bands Gavran and Svjetlost released new split EP »Ocean Of Silence«

Dutch doom/sludge metal bands Gavran and Svjetlost teamed up for their new split EP, »Ocean Of Silence«, which was just released on March 1st, 2024.

Tracklist:
01. Gavran – Nastavi
02. Svjetlost – Ocean Of Silence

Gavran released their well received second album »Indistinct Beacon« on Dunk!records in 2022. Now Gavran is back to release their new split EP »Ocean Of Silence«. The EP is a split with drummer and vocalist Jamie his brand new doomy solo project Svjetlost.

With »Ocean Of Silence«, Svjetlost finally sees the light. A project born out of the urgency to further explore the creation of music. With bands like YOB, Sleep and High On Fire as a big source of inspiration, Svjetlost wants to hit harder than a meteorite, sometimes with a touch of Balkan roots and also leaning on dreamy, psychedelic atmospheres.

Nastavi is basically the culmination of the 5 years of our bands existence. A tour de force of all the styles, emotions and dynamics our band has had up to now. Its content is an observation of the human psyche and the complete negation of its limitations.
