New music from Deep Dive Species

Enigmatic music project Deep Dive Species first made an entrance in 2022 with a debut full-length release, the expansive fourteen-track album titled Aquaphilia. Serving up an enveloping listening experience of instrumental music, the LP took the smouldering qualities of post-rock and filtered them through synth-tinged arrangements, framed by moments of both brightness and darkness.

Formed by the talents of composers and producers Vadim Militsin and Sergey Popovich, Deep Dive Species then took a brief hiatus from sharing their enthralling musical world. Now returning with fresh material, they bring us their latest release with the brand new single titled “Adventus,” released via the OMNINORM imprint.

Leaning into the more rock-focused side of their sound, “Adventus” presents the band’s highly original sonic vision via a smokey post rock epic. Eschewing the experimental-driven approach of their earlier work, the new single brings their sonic storytelling into sharp focus with an instrumental piece infused with emotion and cinematic aesthetic.

Stitching live guitars into an atmospheric soundscape of hazy electronic textures driven by lively bass lines and the snapping shuffle of drums, “Adventus” sees Deep Dive Species serve up a thrilling musical ride from start to finish. Mastered by Bill Sellar at Super Audio Mastering, the song is wrapped in an ambience that lets the dreamy moments of minimal arrangement to float elegantly while still allowing the rhythmic punch and instrumental crunch to cut through, resulting in a polished sound that retains a raw edge throughout.

Starting with the fuzzy twang of lead guitar tones, contrasted by the clean timbre of notes as they drift above stretching sonic atmospherics, the pulse of bass guitar ushers in the strike of drums to inject a trip hop-inspired energy. Ominous synths sweep across the arrangement as the moody blend of guitar riffs and bass lines create a spellbinding experience before floating down to the stripped-back style of the opening.

Paired with the single is a music video created by Segmentality, which visually recounts the cosmic tale of a traveller crash landing on a distant planet. Home to another civilisation, the traveller attempts to bring the population wisdom and light, gradually becoming their celebrated messiah in the process. When accompanying the music, the video offers a truly engrossing artistic experience that delivers cinematic grandeur to get completely lost in.
