Debut Self-Titled EP Out May 29th; Pre-Order Available
New Music Video 'Fragile Fixation'
Vancouver's Dyatlove are sharing the next single 'Empty Lungs' off
their forthcoming debut self-titled EP due out May 29th. The track was
the first song vocalist/guitarist Sam Caviglia and guitarist Rikki
Jennings-Buford wrote together and what they felt the band was going to
sound like moving forward.
Today, Dyatlove is teaming up with GhostCultMag for the track's premiere HERE.
"I
feel like it is classically the heaviest song on the EP with the the
least amount of lyrics. At the time we really wanted the drone and doom
to be the appealing factor and initially thought of having no lyrics on
it at all. As we starting jamming it more we realized we are going to be
a band with vocals and we should embrace Sam's talents rather than
dismiss them just because." adds Rikki Jennings-Buford.
Recorded at Rain City Recorders with Matt Roach over the course of a few days, Dyatlove's sound is eclectic and diverse, at times morose and at other, heavy sludge. An EP that requires attention to take in, each song takes the listener on a ride with complex lyrical content aiming to grab attention. Guitarist Rikki Jennings-Buford shares his thoughts on the EP:

“I
think this EP will be appreciated by more than just fans of heavy
music. As musicians, we write the music that we want to hear and we
aren’t fans of just metal. There is something for everyone who digs
guitar-based music on this EP. We hope these 4 songs give you a good
representation of our inspirations and where we could go musically.”
Lyrically
it is about the pull of depression and not knowing how to get out of it
and how it can take over your entire frame of thinking. Understanding
you are hurting people but not knowing how to get out of it.
For fans of Converge, Deafheaven, Thrice, and Explosions In The Sky, Dyatlove's debut EP is available for pre-order HERE. The band will also be offering up a cassette version available from Coup Sur Coup Records that will feature an exclusive bonus track ‘Die! Kill! Pig!’.

About:
Dyatlove
is a passionate foray into the realm of morose singer-songwriter
overtones set alongside heavy music. Longtime friends Sam Caviglia
(guitar/vocals) and Rikki Jennings-Buford (guitar) bonded over bands
such as Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey, and Pinback.
This
array of influences drives the diversity of Vancouver, Canada’s
Dyatlove, who don’t feel the need to pigeon hole into a particular
genre. From sad songs to crushing sludge metal to 2-minute hardcore
songs, Dyatlove conveys emotion and brings the heavy with drop A tuning.
Starting
individually, the band works on riffs and ideas, eventually bringing
them together to be fleshed out further. As full believers of limitless
creativity, they don’t tie themselves to classic song structures. The
lyrics come from many places, some are stories, some are personal
experiences. There are songs about love of family, songs about loss,
songs about anger and songs about struggles and addictions. Although
varied in the subject matter they all have one thing in common, feeling.
Performing
with the same intense passion and emotion that they bring to the jam
space, Dyatlove intends to really connect to their fans, and show what
their songs mean to them. With Rob Sheldrick (drums) and Justin Lacey
(bass), the quartet delivers with an infectious openness and energy.
Their self-titled, debut EP is being released on May 29, 2020 with the
cassette version being released by Coup Sur Coup Records that will
feature an exclusive bonus track ‘Die! Kill! Pig!’.
