The case of a really good album that still doesn't manage to attain its predecessor's greatness. The production is top notch, the musicianship is top notch, the vocals are - not that - top notch - but they aight - and the overall dynamics displaying is engaging. Still, it's a step down from Asheran, one of the best 2010s progsludge records out there. This is just ever so slightly dragging, and the highlights do not invoke as many Moebius-like paysages, but the Scottish bois nevertheless crafted an epic record.

In my opinion, Chino has smoked it up too
much! This album sounds absolutely incredible
from start to finish, and the sound, from the
singing with an organ in the background to
the crunching of the electric guitars and
growling, is some of the most impressive
things
I've heard from this genre since Isis retired!
Cult of Luna is, of course, up there too

Easy sludge AOTY contender, the kind of album Mastodon and Baroness wish they could write.

It's been years since I heard the previous album, so I am mostly working off my soundoff here. As with the debut LP, Dvne offer an extremely competent and fun proggers album, ripe with utter riffage and proggy sounds with synths and esoteric vocals eg on 9. The clean vocals remain the least strong point, but are far less of a problem than I seem to have said about the first album. They're competent and fine, it's just that the rest is so good. It is a bit of a long album but the quality is really solid, although the truly outstanding moment are a touch too far between (but not too few dare I say) to warrant more than this tier. 4.1

This would be a modern classic if it was just a little more condensed. Also, the best live performance from a metal band I've ever seen. If they're in your area, see them, you will not be disappointed!

Really enjoying this. Hearing bits of Alcest and Isis in there. Maybe that's just my brain.

This album overwhelms me, pulls me in and takes me on an adventure. Epic. Massive riffs form a ship with which I try to conquer the ocean. With every wave I drown more in the world of DVNE. And sometimes the sea is calm and I float, dreaming, with my head in the sun. But just when I think I can close my eyes, I am pulled back into reality. The siren becomes a scream, the silence becomes a storm. And I surrender to it. Etemen Aenka is powerful.

Big album and very well done. A bit long, considering it repeats the dynamic structures too much. Title track is legit stuff and all tracks are practically as good, throwing a lot of influenes in one homogenous sound. Asheran was killer tho and gave more the sense of adventour. Edit - @loveforeverchanges listen to CoL.
