Dvne - Announce Sophomore Studio Record, First Single Unveiled
On March 19th, British quintet Dvne will release their sophomore album, Etemen Ænka, via Metal Blade Records. For a first preview of the record, a video for the new single "Sì-XIV" has been unleashed. On this music output, the band once again collaborated with producer Graeme Young in Edinburgh's Chamber Studio.
Dvne commented regarding the song/video clip: "With the context of covid and the strong travel restrictions we've had in the UK and Europe, shooting "SI-XIV" was a real challenge, but we're glad we could make it happen. The video was split between two shoots: we worked once again with our close friends Just-Aurèle Meissonnier, Louis Macéra, Gilles Garniers and Michel Jocaille for the creature part of the shoot (shot in Paris); the rest of the video footage was shot in Edinburgh by Calum McMillan and our light tech Sam Jones.
"We've always loved prosthetic effects and wanted to use our own creations in the video, but the overall aesthetic takes no small amount of inspiration from some of our favourite 70/80s sci-fi horror films. We had this concept of a weird humanoid-type creature facing the overwhelming harshness and the hopeless nature of its existence. The video symbolically follows the narrative theme of the track within the new album, with the creature attempting to escape its nature through metamorphosis throughout the video. It was an incredibly fun few days setting up and shooting all the creature parts in Paris."

Written by musclassia on 21.01.2021 at 21:23 I was about add this news yesterday but as stated on the add news page "You can only add news for the featured bands". Dvne is not in the list though so I didn't bother. Is that because they're 'invisible' and why are they invisible when their band page seems to fulfill all the requirements for full activation? Asheran was definitely a big and pleasant surprise in 2017. The new song is awesome and my prediction is that this album will be high up on the Best of 2021 list for sure. Killer indeed.
