Good evening folks, time for our regular festival band highlights to begin once more, this time for Cvltfest which kicks off in 5 weeks time!

First up is our Friday night headliners DVNE bringing their energetic combination of progressive doom and post metal to Cvltfest and while flying the flag for Scotland too while at it! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👊

Known for their brutal riff frenzies, knarly dual vocals with licks of blackened thrash metal riffs, this doomy outfit have been thrilling audiences since 2013. With a name inspired by the legendary Frank Herbert's novel of the same name and lyrics equally emotive deep in sci lore it’s easy to be drawn into a hypnotic state while in the presence of their explosive live shows! 💥

DVNE will headline Friday 23rd February on night of Cvltfest Resurrected.
