Dutch black metal ritual Doodswens have released a drum/vocal playthrough video for ‚Driven By Death‘ which is taken from the band’s freshly released album, Doodswens. The new offering was released on 17th April, via Svart Records.
It’s not often you see a black metal band do a playthrough video, and especially not in this kind of setting. Drummer/vocalist I. takes you through an intense and authentic rendition of ‘Driven By Death‘.
Doodswens – Driven by Death (Drum & Vocal Playthrough)
Doodswens is a Dutch Black Metal band formed in 2017 by I. Their self-titled, sophomore album is out via Svart Records.
“If you’ve been on the verge of ending your life, or think about it more often than not, then you’re living with a death wish. A heavy feeling, like a gray cloud hovering around you, gasping for breath and blurring your vision. This is incomprehensible to anyone. Except for those caught in the middle of it. But this album isn’t about giving up. It’s about finding strength, about someone who regains new energy after facing death. This album isn’t about wishing for death, but the death of the wish”, comments I.
Doodswens translates to Deathwish, but the meaning and heavy load to the word in Dutch translates better to Driven by Death. After establishing themselves in the Dutch scene, Doodswens gained an international following doing tours with Marduk & Gorgoroth. Doodswens’ performances are ceremonial and ritualistic, which have been reported to be as uplifting as they are devastating, depending on the demons you bring them to offer. Whatever you carry with you will be exposed. They like to confront instead of bringing comfort.
