Scottish progressive post-metal act DVNE will launch their new full-length, Voidkind, on April nineteenth through Metallic Blade Data.
Fashioned in Edinburgh in 2013 by Frenchman Victor Vicart and native Scot Dudley Tait, progressive post-metal/sludge artisans DVNE have been constructing a robust head of steam since their second album, 2021′s kaleidoscopically mesmerizing Etemen Ænka. Their first launch for the legendary Metallic Blade Data label, the LP was a concerted hike up the greasy pole for this enigmatic outfit, enabling DVNE to embark on UK and European headline excursions and win spots at such discerning festivals as Hellfest, ArcTanGent, Desertfest, Damnation, and Resurrection. A reside EP of reimagined album tunes, 2022′s Cycles Of Asphodel, saved up their profile whereas satiating demand from a quickly mushrooming fanbase, and now in 2024, beautiful third album Voidkind seems set to propel this expanded five-piece line-up (welcoming Maxime Keller on keyboards) to the highest of their sport.
Voidkind succeeds to find new modes of expression for DVNE. The songs are extra pointed, direct, and memorable, however the soundscape nonetheless has a radiant, evolving, hypnotic movement, the impact achieved with fewer layers of sonic ornamentation, consciously urging nearer to DVNE‘s incendiary reside sound. And regardless of the addition of a full-time keyboardist, Vicart has little question concerning the album’s defining function, “We needed very distinct left and proper guitars, and punchier drums and bass, which might transcribe higher reside. And the synths wanted to be clearer; it’s very straightforward to place 5 guitars on either side, a great deal of completely different vocals and keys, however then you find yourself watching a band with an album you actually like, and the songs sound nothing just like the report. That’s what we needed to keep away from. As quickly because the music begins, we would like folks to right away recognise the riff.“
Conceptually, the lyrics proceed the band’s overarching narrative – “following a spiritual group by the technology line from the start to its finish” – whereas Voidkind‘s extraordinary sleeve artwork depicts the principle theme of this chapter, specifically, “a godlike entity seducing and luring followers by their desires and these followers’ multigenerational journey to achieve their god dimension.”
One e book that has been significantly impactful on the band’s thought course of: 1989 novel Hyperion by Dan Simmonds. Notes Vicart, “It’s a really darkish Sci-Fi e book with a great deal of attention-grabbing elements, so you may go actually prog with it, however you may also go extra violent and animalistic.” Additional inspirational touchstones embody FromSoftware online game Darkish Souls, and the Japanese manga collection that impressed it, Berserk, “It’s a really cool, violent, psychedelic, medieval darkish fantasy,” explains Vicart. “We needed to have these sorts of visuals and aesthetics on this album, on this mix-up of issues. Even with out the vocals we needed to evoke one thing, completely different locations and areas, and take the listener on a journey.”
Vicart additional elaborates on the themes driving “Plerõma,” the primary single from Voidkind, and its accompanying video, which was directed by Vicart, “Plerõma is an idea that has appeared in Gnosticism, Greek Philosophy, and Judeo-Christian religions. In Gnosticism, it’s the non secular universe because the abode of God and of the totality of the divine powers and emanations. Additionally it is the last word supply of transformation. Plerõma is a key second of the album narrative the place spiritual followers are consuming the essence of their deity and attain a brand new sense of woke up existence. It is step one of their transformation. Musically it additionally represents one thing much like us, as it’s a music that’s bringing new parts that we didn’t discover musically till that time.“
