DVNE Release Live at the Biscuit Factory
I follow DVNE — who are on tour now in Europe; I’ll see them later this week in Oslo — on Bandcamp, so I got the email for it when Live at the Biscuit Factory went up this past Friday, but there’s only so many hours in the day and so much electricity in the brain and here we are now talking about it. The new offering is relatively brief at 35 minutes — that’s four songs in DVNE-land — but there’s just no arguing with either performance or sound here. As far as heavy metal goes, I’ll take 2024’s Voidkind (review here) over most of what’s out there on the ‘progressive’ or any other side of it. An album loaded with charge, but poised, all-in on its expression but remaining distant enough from the material to use it to really tell a story. They’re not the kind of band that happens every day.
For A/V demonstration of that, check the video session posted of Live at the Biscuit Factory, which you’ll find down at the bottom of this post in addition to the audio from Bandcamp and the stream of Voidkind, which is just there because it should be there and you should hear it and blah blah blah I know you know this.
Off to the PR wire, then:
DVNE: Progressive Post-Metal Collective Releases Live At The Biscuit Factory; Full Live Session Now Playing + European Tour Underway
After the successful release of their third album, 2024’s Voidkind, followed by extensive touring all over Europe, DVNE decided to capture the live energy of some of the Voidkind songs and record it in a unique setting. “With this live session, we wanted to create something that felt intimate and real,” the band comments. “We picked some of our favorite tracks from Voidkind and set things up to reflect the atmosphere of our rehearsals. It’s a glimpse into how we come together as a band, and it’s clear from the performance just how much these songs and playing them together mean to us.”
