GAVIAL are back. Clearer. More vulnerable. Bigger than ever. Almost three years have passed since Gavial made a powerful statement with VOR. Three years of political fractures, societal collapse, and personal turmoil. Three years that have left their mark — audible, tangible, unavoidable. Now, the quartet from Dresden/Leipzig/Berlin returns with a new album. Here, soul and gospel collide with country, psychedelic blues meets raw, unfiltered emotion. Gavial create sonic worlds where guitars, bass, and voice fuse into something greater. Melancholy that lingers. Hypnosis through sound. Energy that refuses to let go. With fierce determination,

Gavial present themselves raw and uncompromising like never before. Their songs are mirrors — reflecting everything that’s burning: A world devouring itself. Societies that have forgotten how to listen. Technologies that outrun us. Militarism returning from the shadows. Human rights reduced to empty phrases. Institutions built on failure. And egoism thriving. “Thanks, I Hate It” is not a surrender. It’s a soundtrack to a time that tests us every single day.
