The Boredom Tapes: DVNE

For the latest edition of The Boredom Tapes the boys from Edinburgh based progressive metalers DVNE have gone all out & given us a fascinating track by track analysis of their playlist.    Asheran by DVNE Stick these tunes in your ears …

Rosy Finch – Scarlett

Rosy Finch deserve to be far more recognised than they are, their lineup have breathed new life into the band and their take on sludge, stoner and grunge is expertly done and although the listener is probably reminded of their many influences their particular sound is quite unique.

KULK

“Our sound has changed quite a lot since we started, it’s always been about making the most noise from two people but before it was a lot more punk influenced.”

Throwing Bricks – What Will Be Lost

Sensational blackened sludge which never crosses the same path twice whilst still creating a captivating journey, a must for fans of anything loud and dark.

Lake Baikal – Astral Rot

Give this track your attention for 15 minutes and you will get a superbly executed journey through black metal, sludge, post-metal and even touches of ambient. On paper that sounds impossible, in practice it sounds amazing.

Regarde Les Hommes Tomber – Ascension

It is French and heavy and damn right awesome.

Heavy Psych Sounds Records Festival – Underworld, Camden

Heavy Psych Sounds Records brought some heavy Stoner and Psych Rock vibes to Camden’s Underworld in a one-day mini-festival.

The Osedax – Meridians

The Osedax remains one of the best bands at carrying out a marriage of different flavours from post-metal, sludge to black metal.

Boris – Classic Grand, Glasgow

If anything really defines Boris’ appeal tonight it’s the double-whammy of ‘Coma’ and ‘LOVE’, two nebulous, droning titans . . . These are where Wata is given her chance to flex her muscles to the utmost, layering distortion and squealing semi-melodies and then ramping up each of them until the room becomes nothing but a fog of sound and dry ice.

Lethvm – Acedia

A top release of 2019 mixing doom tinged sludge and influences of some familiar Belgium musical masters.

Cult of Luna • Brutus • A.A. Williams – Electric Ballroom, London

What I really like about COL is how well they play the quiet before the storm, the steady rise and the heavy drop, the brooding swell and the tidal wave – in other words, the essence of the post-metal sound that they laid the foundations for.

Torpor – Rheoric of the Image

After producing the finest UK sludge and doom this year I just worry if Torpor will ever get its ball back as it has well and truly smashed it out of the park.

Tuskar – The Monolith Sessions

A furious but brief equinox storm, the sounds evoking complex swirls and riptides.

Fox Medicine – Procédures Mystiques

Considering its rather singular, not to say peculiar charms, it is an album I keep returning to – eager for it’s dirty sugar rush.

Byzanthian Neckbeard – Minaton (+ Exclusive Album Premiere)

The riffs are thunderous, the tone is thicker than a castle wall and the twin vocal assault of roars and barks give an air of malevolence that make you wary of playing the album in an empty house. 

Track Premiere: Timeworn – Sky Castles

Timeworn | Facebook | Bandcamp Timeworn has been delivering a solid mix of sludge, hardcore energy and post-metal atmosphere since 2014. The band consists of members from i.a. Eskatol, Summon the Crows, Blodspor and From Below and with hard work, exten …

Mars Red Sky – The Task Eternal

Mars Red Sky’s new album is incredible. If Abba had been a sludge band, they might have sounded like this.

Ufomammut

Gavin Brown caught up with Ufomammut to discuss their new release ‘XX’ as well as talking about the band’s musical history, new music, recent tour, their label Neurot and the Italian heavy music scene.
