Erdve release new music video for ‘Lavondėmės’

ERDVE have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Lavondėmės, is taken from the Lithuanian experimental hardcore/sludge metal band’s upcoming new album, Savigaila, which is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Season of Mist. The upcoming album is the follow-up to 2018’s Vaitojimas.

Speaking about the new song and the upcoming new album, the band says, Lavondėmės in the Lithuanian language is a word describing Livor mortis, also known as hypostasis, which is an accumulation of stagnated blood causing a purplish red skin colour of a deceased body. This song and video is a metaphor for inner stagnation and an overwhelming effort to overcome it.

The idea is closely related to the main theme of the album Savigaila which translates as ‘self-pity’. The visual is portraying a sense of helplesness in a search for meaning through an endless mind clutter. Being obstructed by senseless actions, it is difficult to maintain directional movement and therefore even more difficult to accept responsibility for your own self, being able to create your own meaning to break free from stagnation and therefore achieve happiness.”
