DIVUS has today released their new album titled ‘DIVUS 3’ via Subsound Records. An atmospheric blend of concept and consciousness, all within the confines of seven tracks. Each diverse in their own way, yet a complete soundscape when listened to as a collective.
‘DIVUS 3’ won’t be a proper taste for everyone listening. It feels more like a long and winding road meant for a solitary time in one’s mind while you give this a listen. Almost a transcendental feel that demands a listen while alone in a room with no distractions. A journey meant for the mind and described by the soul. Each listen is unique to the listener and the time you hear it. This is music as a free thought.
“…it rises, becomes bitter, deflagrates and concludes with an invocation, resumes with lightness, continues with sweetness and ends in oblivion like a comet’s tail that has crossed a solar system and continues its journey.”
About DIVUS & ‘DIVUS 3’
The collaboration between Lamanna and Mai develops in new territories, surprisingly far from their usual sound. Their influences coming from techno and jazzcore/metal are both left aside in favour of a more nocturnal and atmospheric approach to jazz and electronic music: so dreamy, smokey and dark, It could suit a future sci-fi crime movie shot in one dystopian metropolitan suburb.
Luciano Lamanna has a nearly 30-year career as an electronic musician, DJ, and event organizer of the electronic and techno scene, composer, and producer involved in hip hop, new wave, underground metal, and industrial music, as well as numerous musical collaborations where he experiments with numerous musical genres.
Luca T. Mai is the saxophonist of the world-renowned Italian band ZU, a historic experimental rock band with an extensive album production and a very intense international live activity, founded with Massimo Pupillo (bass) and Jacopo Battaglia (drums), later replaced by Paolo Mongardi. The latter is also a member, along with Mai, Lorenzo Stecconi, and Luca Ciffo, of the newly formed Traum band, devoted to psych-kraut sounds.
Lamanna’s synthesizers and Mai’s baritone saxophone gave rise to the Divus project with the 2017 release of the self-titled debut album “Divus,” followed in 2020 by “Divus 2,” both released via the Boring Machines label.
The new album “Divus 3” is released through Subsound Records in a limited vinyl edition in the special “Glow In The Dark” green color, available to pre-order on the label’s webstore.
