DVNE - Pleroma (Official Video)

Pre-Order Voidkind (out April 19, 2024) here: https://www.metalblade.com/dvne/

"Pleroma is a concept that has appeared in Gnosticism, Greek Philosophy & Judeo-Christian religions.in Gnosticism, it is the spiritual universe as the abode of God and of the totality of the divine powers and emanations. It is also the ultimate source of transformation.
Plerõmā is a key moment of the album narrative where religious followers are consuming the essence of their deity and reach a new sense of awakened existence. It is the first step in their transformation."

Voidkind succeeds in finding new modes of expression for DVNE. The songs are more pointed, direct, and memorable, but the soundscape still has a radiant, evolving, hypnotic flow, the effect achieved with fewer layers of sonic ornamentation, consciously urging closer to DVNE’s incendiary live sound. And despite the addition of a full-time keyboardist, Vicart has no doubt about the album’s defining feature, “We wanted very distinct left and right guitars, and punchier drums and bass, which would transcribe better live. And the synths needed to be clearer; it’s very easy to put five guitars on each side, loads of different vocals and keys, but then you end up watching a band with an album you really like, and the songs sound nothing like the record. That’s what we wanted to avoid. As soon as the song starts, we want people to immediately recognise the riff.”

Lyrics:
Generations journey reach the hallowed end.
Suspended water, plasma of the sacrament.
The Black key of the veil.
The black path of water bridges transcendency.

Corporeal constraints.
Corporeal shedding.

Cimerian weeping caught in tired chaliced hands.
Disciples parched lips, imbibe sable revered essence.
With dried throats consumed to expand, into divine command.

Ethereal vision's dawn.
Ethereal Inception.

Seeing through hidden screens,
Woven branches undulate.
Weaves of crystal replicate.
