The Facemelter: DVNE, Drore, Ex People

Chaos Theory's monthly night of riffs The Facemelter brings you some mindblowing and bleak sounds from three awesome bands.

-------------------
DVNE

We've been fans of this progressive metal band for years, and ever since seeing them perform in Edinburgh, they've been working hard with us to get down to London. Taking their influences from a myriad of genres including post-metal, doom, black metal and rock, they combine fierce riffs and melodic textures to weave a dark universe laced with psychedelia.

After releasing 'Progenitor' in 2013 (Wasted State Records) and 'Aurora Majesty' in 2014 (Sea Of Corruption Records), DVNE have shared stages around Europe with Inter Arma, Dragged Into Sunlight, EYEHATEGOD, Mantar, Black Tusk, Crowbar and Downfall of Gaia.

DVNE have just finished recording their first full-length album, so expect to hear some fresh new material this Friday.

"This is multi-dimensional progressive metal at its best." - This Is Not A Scene

-------------------
Drore

With members of Crippled Black Phoenix and Undersmile, this new band have successfully merged to form a sludge, hardcore, punk and noise rock supergroup.

"... raucous detuned pandemonium and utterly monstrous doom riffs, kind of like a severely intoxicated King Buzzo kicking the shit out of Pissed Jeans." - Terrorizer

-------------------
Ex People

These beasts are reminding us of that British doom sound from decades ago, with scuzzy riffs, almost-grunge-like vocals and a punk and sludgey vibe. They also seem to write a lot of songs about The X-Files.

They've just finished recording a new EP with Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse Studio (Terminal Cheesecake, Vodun, GHOLD, Death Pedals, Luminous Bodies, Shitwife) so we might even get to hear some new sounds there.

"Chokingly heavy doom riffs with sweetly dreamscape vocals drifting each word around a swirly vortex" - Heavy Planet
