VVON DOGMA I is an edgy, progressive avant-garde metal band from Montreal, Canada that is gearing up to release their highly anticipated album, "The Kvlt of Glitch". The first glimpse of this record is a teaser single along with the album artwork, which was created by Patrick Filteau and MidJourney. Drawing influences from Radiohead, Meshuggah, and Deftones, the band has carved out a unique sound that blends complex rhythms and haunting melodies. Ringleader and bassist Chaoth (ex-Unexpect) quotes that the band’s sound is him paying tribute to the wide assortments of influences that he’s had in his life from 90's alternative and nu-metal to modern electronic and ambient music and everything in between. He continues to explain:
“It's very freeing in a way to be the main songwriter because you don't really have to fight for your ideas, whatever goes so, it's a glimpse of my psyche. Lyrically it's very much fueled by dark feelings that have been following me my whole life. Very personal yet vague as fuck. This whole project, these songs, this sound, it's been living in my head and computer alone for too long but now I'm just happy and proud to finally bring this project to life.”
Currently, Chaoth does most of the writing before drummer Kevin Alexander and Yoan modifies the structure and adds attitude with the drums and guitars and then it goes to the studio where Blaise Borboën adds like a million layers, very synth-heavy. Hours of trial and error lead to the final polished result. Like sculpting, they just play with it until it looks like something.
Vvon Dogma I is an experimental and challenging display of musical prowess and creativity. They are recommended for fans of Deftones, Sleep Token, and Unprocessed.
The album track listing and artwork are revealed below.
