I'm in reneaissance of discovering metal. This band is just sick, in a positive way. A blast without limits. Majority of metalheads might be stuck in the past, but as long as bands like this exist, metal will carry on and will never die
I love the old school stuff, but there is so much amazing metal out there, especially under the umbrella of progressive metal. What really keeps metal alive is how easy it is to incorporate other genres of music and the freedom to experiment. I'd say it's up there with Jazz and Classical when it comes to how broad of a scope it covers compositionally.
I don't have enough words to describe how masterfully this sounds. Ending part was perfect with how the vocals, instruments were slowly quieting down and then came a peaceful part. I was banging my head the entire time, neck's sore but it was worth it every second especially at the end. One of my favs this year. Big LOVE from Serbia and best of luck for the future :D
@@snipethecage7637 Their singer is definitely not bad (even if he was not that good on clean vocals on Heliocentric and Anthropocentric), but if you don't like him you could maybe enjoy the instrumental versions of their albums, or their older albums, if you didn't listen to them yet. Precambrian has at least 4 singers, and Fluxion has another one.
5 Months into the new year, this album stands as the album of the year for me. I do listen to many variety of metal & post-rock albums. So far, nothing comes close to this brilliant album. Every year , I discover a few new that I think will not be beaten. I am sure eventually I will find something else but I am at such a peak w/ DVNE now. Evertyhing in their music plays to my soul: guitars, drums, bass, keyboards and what an amazing vocals
The fact that the name of the album refferences the temple of Marduk, which is closely related to the Babel tower myth, and that the overall album theme is around elements from different mythologies makes my pp skyrocket. And of course, dvne fucking delivers with their music, as well.
Two different Babylonian civilizations. The old Hammurabi one would have been a lot closer to the tower of Babel than the new, Nebuchadnezzar empire would have, when Marduk would have been in their pantheon of gods.
@@olavolavson5302 Well, I'm pretty noob myself, so almost all I know comes from wikipedia. But anyways, the name of this album, Etemen Ænka, is pretty much Etemenanki, which means "the temple of the foundation of heaven and earth", and it was a temple in old Babilonia dedicated to Marduk, one of the main deities of their pantheon. There was a time where the jewish people were enslaved by the govenor of Babilonia from that time. The jews were held prisioners for about 60 years in the city of Babilonia, and it is thought that they linked the myth of the Babel tower with the Etemenanki during this period. Now, what @mktucker41 said was that the myth of the Babel tower comes from much earlier than the edification of the Etemenanki, but, you know, tales told always get mixed one way or another.
Just saw them last night. Awesome show, talented musicians and very professionnal. This band will be one of the big names of prog/stoner/metal in the future.
man that second song. what a brutal wall of sound with symphonic rock mixed into it in a merciless way. this is something else.& that last song,what a build-up from a heavenly sung hymn to full explosion. magical album.
Absolutely incredible release. First listen really hooked me in and by the second listen everything become quite real. Only heard of them 2 weeks ago and have since recommended to others.
The first album was a damn good stuff ! But this one is pure gold, I cant stop listen to it, its the definition of what I like in metal, this is just made for me !!! thank you guys.
Hey, where did the idea of metal being dead come from? To me it's clear that it's quite the opposite. Plenty of great metal bands, technical ones, rythmic ones, heavier ones and softer ones are pretty well recognised all around among those who care for this kind of music.
@@adrd208 We have heavy metal stuck in our soul and nothing is going to change. However maisntream does not give the due attention that metal deserves.

@@Anticlockwise1 Ah, ok, but don't you think it's always been that way? The "easy to swallow" pop music has always leaded the popularity polls and had the majority of the exposition.
at first i though this is classic metal, aka scream into my face for an hour with some cool riffs and thats it, but no... this is something else... very well done lads! i love how this is done

Said the guy who is in his "renaissance of discovering metal". Humpf.
@@saucissauce8022 You have to start somewhere.
I listened to it and upon first listen knew I had to buy it before I couldn’t anymore. What an album….

This album restores my faith in humanity. Utterly impressive, genius, and just fulfilling. I really hope I can see them live.
They're playing it in Edinburgh this Saturday, l'll be there👊🖤👊🖤👊
Yeah, I'm pretty blown away. It's been a really long time since I've heard an album this good. My favorite album from 2021 for sure.
Just saw them yesterday, awesome show, really professionnal.

You guys should do a collaboration song or two with The Ocean. I think it would be absolutely amazing!
No thanks, I think is a realy bad idea.
DVNE is much better than the ocean band.
Singer of the ocean suks in my opinion.
@@snipethecage7637 Did you really listen to The Ocean?
@@bousculade1035 yes

@@bousculade1035 yes, you right.
I like the instrumental versions.
But really, in my opinion, the vocalist of The Ocean ruins the experience.
Mleccha and Si-XIV are some of the best tracks I've heard in quite a long time. Incredible album.
That riff at 38:30 though
Court of the Matriarch has one of the best outros ever
Huge riff
Banger!
Absolutely. Such an angry, sad, driven outro. Larger than life

what a treasure ! every soul on earth should know this album ! spread it everywhere on the net ! best album Ive listened to since the last tool album.
FUCK YES
Have been waiting for this for soooooo long. Asheran was killer
Holy buckets this is good, such catchy, broody tunes. Thanks dvdes and dvdettes!

@@mktucker4118 True, but during the time that the jewish people were confined there, apparently they mixed both elements.
@@jaimeXDgo can you both (@mktucker41) please go on or point me to more material?

Greatest band out there right now imo
Just saw them last night. Awesome show, talented musicians and very professionnal. This band will be one of the big names of prog/stoner/metal in the future.
This album blew my mind. I never heard of this band before today, but if they have a backlog, that backlog belongs to me now.
That's what music is supposed to make u feel like... Goosebumps all over... Damn guys, you are f#*ing killing it!!
man that second song. what a brutal wall of sound with symphonic rock mixed into it in a merciless way. this is something else.& that last song,what a build-up from a heavenly sung hymn to full explosion. magical album.
I've never heard of these guys before. Long time clean vocal prog guy until The Ocean broke that for me. This is an incredible album!
This album is so great, I can't stop listening to it. I think it's the best Progressive Metal album so far this year🤘🍷🖤
Hell, it's a contender for best metal album of the year in my book.
Thanks for Sharing🤗Seen the Fantastic Band live! So Great!!!!masterpiece music❤️❤️❤️
DVNEitely a good listen from start to finish.
Absolutely incredible release. First listen really hooked me in and by the second listen everything become quite real. Only heard of them 2 weeks ago and have since recommended to others.
Well done... exceptional!!!Greece is with you.... yeah...
Thought i'd give this a go after seeing a review, just listened to the whole thing, it's reet good.
Incredible album. Just got this on vinyl and the packaging and sound quality is superb!
Court of the Matriarch, Omega Severer, Adræden and Mleccha are my favourites! But the Asphodel+Satuya ending is also really good.
You all have absolutely out done yourself on this album. Absolutely in love with it!
The first album was a damn good stuff ! But this one is pure gold, I cant stop listen to it, its the definition of what I like in metal, this is just made for me !!! thank you guys.
Satuya is a stunning observation of a track
A perfect combination of cruel reefs and a beautiful, gentle melody! Psychotic atmosphere + sci fi elements! Dive in! Thank you very much!
d'you mean psychedelic? psychotic has a different meaning
This is really awesome. It reminds me good old The Ocean
Yes sir! great album overall! Fantastic job!
Auténtico y bestial !!🤘🤘
saw you in Brussels ! was a great show ty :D
What a find this is! A Masterpiece! Can't wait for you all to tour USA!
This band is incredible. Stumbled on ya by accident. No regrets!
awesome album!! This is one of the best discoveries of the year!!!
BOOOOOOOM 1:03:07
Yassss, killing it👊👊👊
Beautiful Music Art😈 We can't wait on Your Music Act at Mystic Festival 2024🤘🏻
Great stuff here, thanks for this awesome release !
Holy crap those drums are tight as heck!
The drummer is a real beast live, trust me. And it looked so easy for him to play the entire set. Worldclass drummer no doubt about this.
Magnificent album, a great trip.
Kraków says hail!! Absolutely amazing show at Hype park last night
Lets speak about the Mastodon in the room.
Which I'm totally fine with. Give it a crown!
I find it better than Mastodon
@@mathieutieu5144 Way, way🤘🤘🤘
Mastodon is overrated. Or at least I never found what's so special about them.
This is what the Mastodon new albums were supposed to sound like
For many who think that metal has died, the band Dvne proves the opposite and keeps the metal more alive than ever.
Anyone who thinks metal is or ever was dead has been living under a rock or simply too sentimental for their own good.

Amazing. Awesome! I whish to hear it live once.
That right here is the album of the year
Exactly my thoughts.
No contest
Excelente que buena banda tremendo trabajo BRUTALES
First time hearing them off the back of the Damnation Festival announcement. They've just found a new fan. Bloody impressive stuff.
They were so good at Damnation. Band of the day for me.
Congratulations for this band 'cause i discover by my girlfriend !
But it's a fuckin' album
Thanks for that Metal Blade and Dvne !
Can't wait to hear this live
I'm a fan
Praise DVNE
9:30 Incredible
18:02 Incredible
Came across this yesterday and already one of the best albums of the year for me. Wow this album just doesn’t disappoint
This is fantastic.
Amazing, this band keeps pushing prog sludge forwards.
Well, if this isn't the most amazing shit I've ever heard.
Between my discovery of this, Dune (2021), and reading the Hyperion Cantos at a similar time in my life, it has been changed.
I'm definitely gonna ... ... ... dvne in. (Yes, I'll see myself out...)
Welp, this is amazing. Been a while since I've enjoyed an album this much.
album génial, merci.
AMAZING !
Good Lord, what an intro
Very good, didn't know about this band before. Will definitely look into them.
Yes boys!! Sick as always ❤️😍❤️
Great album.
HO-LY SHIT, awesome from start to finish!
Awesome!!!!!!
blown away
Jeeeeeez! If it was not for Fear Inoculum I would say no album has moved and impressed me this much in more than a decade ;).
Try Villagers of ioaninna city.....album age of aquarius
@@sergioagra3846 Just checked them out. Great stuff! My first thoughts: Tool on Woodstock in the sixties :D. Fantastic voice!
@@andredaniel9540 Yeahhhh with a folk touch
@@sergioagra3846 Never a bad idea since Opeth :).
Nothing beats Viridian Bloom into Thirst on the previous album imo
Satuya has one of the best intros I've ever heard
Very impressive album.
Gorgeous...
...Well I'm a fan now!
This is amazing stuff.
🔥🔥🔥
This is amazing well done to DVNE and Graeme @ Chamber Studios
Thanks for all your help big guy ❤️
It would be even more amazing if they had contacted for guest vocals on Asphodel, Asphodel (Aurélie Raidron). :)
Still great album with many highs!
this is... AMAZING
Great Album!!!
No words...
- excellent !
YES!
Majestic.
Very nice...
Who did the cover art for this? Major Baroness vibes
This doesn't look like baroness at al lol
Marald van Haastern
at first i though this is classic metal, aka scream into my face for an hour with some cool riffs and thats it, but no... this is something else... very well done lads! i love how this is done
