In Dvne’s last release as ‘Dune’ before officially making the ‘u’ a ‘v’, they offer up two tracks of fast-moving sludge metal. The first, “Into the Travellers’ Halls”, plays up the hard drum-work with growling yells and grimy guitar, building a big commotion that unfortunately doesn’t move too far from where it begins. “Of Blade and Carapace” kicks off with a clearer riff, and builds from a neat break into a multi-measure divergence that verges on prog. Not bad overall, but even with just two tracks, half of that is filler.
