Emerging from the shadows of spiritual rebellion and existential anguish, Croatian black metal band TRIVAN announces the release of their latest single, “Blackened Heart's Pledge” , dropping March 23, 2025 . Crafted in the fires of Studio Wormwood , this track is a declaration of war against superficiality, conformity, and spiritual decay.
Trivan , formed in 2018 by Vanja Šantak and Ivan Bertović, rose from obscurity with a vision that bridges dark sonic landscapes and intellectual provocation. Though the pandemic halted their momentum, the band reemerged stronger, with a refined lineup and deeper philosophical roots. Now joined by vocalist Tomislav Žiljak , drummer Robert Vlašić , and rhythm guitarist Marin Buljan , Trivan blends furious blast beats and icy riffs with lyrical themes of existential crises, spiritual defiance , and inner transformation .
“Blackened Heart’s Pledge” is not just a song—it’s a spiritual revolt. Anchored in the band’s unique philosophy of Trivanism , the single invites listeners into a metaphysical journey guided by symbols of strength, darkness, and self-liberation. The black heart, key, spiral, and black fae are not mere symbols—they are totems of resistance, courage, and personal truth.
“If seeking truth is heresy, then our stance is sacred rebellion.” – Trivan
At the heart of Trivan lies a conceptual mythos. “Trivan” fuses trivial and vanquish , evoking the band’s mission to destroy superficiality and awaken the soul. Their spiritual aesthetic—rooted in nature, free thought, sacred feminine energy, and mystical symbolism—sets them apart from the orthodox black metal fold.
Fans of black metal’s most cold and unrelenting sounds will find sanctuary in Trivan’s music—but they’ll also find a challenge to dig deeper. This isn’t nihilism for its own sake—it’s a call to arms for those who refuse silence .
Born in Croatia and forged in the crucible of spiritual unrest and artistic discipline, Trivan aims to become a defining force in the evolution of black metal. Their mission is not just to perform, but to provoke, awaken, and inspire a generation to question, doubt, and seek.
