Scottish progressive post-metal collective DVNE are pleased to unveil Live At The Biscuit Factory, out now digitally on Metal Blade Records.
After their 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.”

Formed in Edinburgh in 2013 by displaced Frenchman Victor Vicart and native Scot Dudley Tait, DVNE have been building a powerful head of steam since their second album, 2021’s kaleidoscopically mesmerizing Etemen Ænka. Their first release for the legendary Metal Blade Records label, the LP was a concerted hike up the greasy pole for this enigmatic outfit, enabling DVNE to embark on UK and European headline tours and win spots at such discerning festivals as Hellfest, ArcTanGent, Desertfest, Damnation, and Resurrection. Their stunning third album Voidkind propelled this expanded five-piece line-up (welcoming Maxime Keller on keyboards) to the top of their game.
Certainly Voidkind succeeds in finding new modes of expression for DVNE. The songs are more pointed, direct, and memorable, but the soundscape is still a radiant, evolving, hypnotic flow, the effect achieved with fewer layers of sonic ornamentation, consciously urging closer to DVNE’s incendiary live sound.
“Voidkind is a candidate for post-metal album of the decade… Every note’s perfectly placed to make this an album that demands re-entry again and again.” – Metal Hammer UK
“The album is definitely recommendable, especially because DVNE writes damn good riffs and embeds them in an exciting environment, as on Voidkind, which will definitely be one of the highlights of the genre in 2024.” – Fuze“Post-metal done right.” – Scream Norway
“DVNE continue their rise to the stars, delivering yet again on every imaginable front with a gargantuan tome of staggering riffs, gorgeous hooks, and stunning soundscapes.” – Everything Is Noise
“DVNE have truly outdone themselves on what is sure to be a highlight for this year and for their careers overall.” – Nine Circle
