09) ERDVE to release new album Savigalia in July

Experimental sludge outfit Erdve have announced their new album, Savigalia, will be released on July 23rd via Season of Mist (pre-order here). To celebrate the album announcement, the group has shared a video for the first single “Lavondėmės.”

The group comments:

 “‘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 helplessness 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.”
