about
Trivan was envisioned and formed by Vanja Šantak and Ivan Bertović along with their longtime school friend on drums in 2018. Initially, Ivan played bass, while Vanja handled guitar duties and vocals. Although the band's early momentum seemed promising, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic brought all plans and progress to a temporary halt. This unexpected period of inactivity led the band members to reflect deeply on their musical direction and aspirations. Following the pandemic, Vanja introduced his school friend, Tomislav Žiljak, previously the vocalist for Darkendome, as the new lead vocalist. Since the original drummer decided to dedicate himself to his family and professional career, Žiljak recommended his former bandmate Robert Vlašić, who had played drums alongside him in Darkendome. With Vlašić on board, the band regained momentum and stability. To further enrich their sound, achieve a fuller, heavier tone, and allow Vanja greater freedom to focus on lead guitar segments, the band welcomed Marin Buljan as the rhythm guitarist in 2025. Marin’s addition provided depth and atmospheric texture to the group's evolving soundscape, solidifying the band's lineup and direction. With a clearly defined lineup, Trivan began to intensify its efforts in creating music that reflects their core values and thematic preoccupations aiming to create musical pieces that not only evoke emotional responses but also stimulate intellectual and philosophical debate.
