Dvne - Etemen Ænka (FULL ALBUM) 

They're playing it in Edinburgh this Saturday, l'll be there👊🖤👊🖤👊

Yeah, I'm pretty blown away. It's been a really long time since I've heard an album this good. My favorite album from 2021 for sure.

Just saw them yesterday, awesome show, really professionnal.

Said the guy who is in his "renaissance of discovering metal". Humpf.

@@saucissauce8022 You have to start somewhere.

I listened to it and upon first listen knew I had to buy it before I couldn’t anymore. What an album….

I love the old school stuff, but there is so much amazing metal out there, especially under the umbrella of progressive metal. What really keeps metal alive is how easy it is to incorporate other genres of music and the freedom to experiment. I'd say it's up there with Jazz and Classical when it comes to how broad of a scope it covers compositionally.

That riff at 38:30 though

T H E S P I C E M U S T F L O W

when that Gom Jabbar hits just right

@@Luemm3l 🤣🤣

Banger!

Absolutely. Such an angry, sad, driven outro. Larger than life

Hell, it's a contender for best metal album of the year in my book.

Two different Babylonian civilizations. The old Hammurabi one would have been a lot closer to the tower of Babel than the new, Nebuchadnezzar empire would have, when Marduk would have been in their pantheon of gods.

@@mktucker4118 True, but during the time that the jewish people were confined there, apparently they mixed both elements.

@@jaimeXDgo can you both (@mktucker41) please go on or point me to more material?

@@olavolavson5302 Well, I'm pretty noob myself, so almost all I know comes from wikipedia. But anyways, the name of this album, Etemen Ænka, is pretty much Etemenanki, which means "the temple of the foundation of heaven and earth", and it was a temple in old Babilonia dedicated to Marduk, one of the main deities of their pantheon. There was a time where the jewish people were enslaved by the govenor of Babilonia from that time. The jews were held prisioners for about 60 years in the city of Babilonia, and it is thought that they linked the myth of the Babel tower with the Etemenanki during this period. Now, what @mktucker41 said was that the myth of the Babel tower comes from much earlier than the edification of the Etemenanki, but, you know, tales told always get mixed one way or another.

@@jaimeXDgo thanks dude. definitely sounds super interesting. gonna dive into this a bit deeper I guess.

d'you mean psychedelic? psychotic has a different meaning

No thanks, I think is a realy bad idea. DVNE is much better than the ocean band. Singer of the ocean suks in my opinion.

@@snipethecage7637 Did you really listen to The Ocean?

@@bousculade1035 yes

@@snipethecage7637 Their singer is definitely not bad (even if he was not that good on clean vocals on Heliocentric and Anthropocentric), but if you don't like him you could maybe enjoy the instrumental versions of their albums, or their older albums, if you didn't listen to them yet. Precambrian has at least 4 singers, and Fluxion has another one.

@@bousculade1035 yes, you right. I like the instrumental versions. But really, in my opinion, the vocalist of The Ocean ruins the experience.

Which I'm totally fine with. Give it a crown!

I find it better than Mastodon

@@mathieutieu5144 Way, way🤘🤘🤘

Mastodon is overrated. Or at least I never found what's so special about them.

This is what the Mastodon new albums were supposed to sound like

They were so good at Damnation. Band of the day for me.

Anyone who thinks metal is or ever was dead has been living under a rock or simply too sentimental for their own good.

Hey, where did the idea of metal being dead come from? To me it's clear that it's quite the opposite. Plenty of great metal bands, technical ones, rythmic ones, heavier ones and softer ones are pretty well recognised all around among those who care for this kind of music.

@@adrd208 We have heavy metal stuck in our soul and nothing is going to change. However maisntream does not give the due attention that metal deserves.

@@Anticlockwise1 Ah, ok, but don't you think it's always been that way? The "easy to swallow" pop music has always leaded the popularity polls and had the majority of the exposition.

The drummer is a real beast live, trust me. And it looked so easy for him to play the entire set. Worldclass drummer no doubt about this.

Exactly my thoughts.

No contest

Yassss, killing it👊👊👊

Try Villagers of ioaninna city.....album age of aquarius

@@sergioagra3846 Just checked them out. Great stuff! My first thoughts: Tool on Woodstock in the sixties :D. Fantastic voice!

@@andredaniel9540 Yeahhhh with a folk touch

@@sergioagra3846 Never a bad idea since Opeth :).

Nothing beats Viridian Bloom into Thirst on the previous album imo
