Deep Dive Species are back with their first new release since the critically acclaimed debut Aquaphilia, and “Adventus” does not disappoint. Composed and produced by Vadim Militsin and Sergey Popovich, the song comes across as the soundtrack to an epic sci-fi film. The track takes you on a sweeping journey across the galaxies as Deep Dive Species weaves multicolored melodies amidst a lush electronic backdrop.
“Adventus” takes you into a world beyond your own. Shimmering synth pads swell as arpeggiated guitars emerge from the astral ether, coating a dazzling scene of starry vistas and unknown frontiers. The playing glides between lush, atmospheric textures and soaring melodic leads, lending the song a determined presence. You get to imagine these sounds accompanying sweeping shots of a lone spacecraft traversing the inky black void.
Beneath the guitars, the production work brings an enveloping sense of grandeur and scale. Warm synths pulse in counterpoint to the leads, grounding the song even as the production takes it to celestial heights. Subtle touches like echoing percussion add a tactile sense of vast empty space while maintaining growing momentum.
The video, directed by Segmentality, brings this epic tale to life in vivid detail. It introduces us to the Traveler as he emerges battered but unbowed from the wreckage of his ship. Through Segmentality’s masterful use of practical effects and cinematography, we follow the Traveler as he navigates an alien landscape and encounters the planet’s indigenous inhabitants, humanoid but less advanced. The video covers a lot of deep religious ideas while also showing off some amazing scenery. It makes you realize how tiny people are compared to the huge universe around us. They did a great job filming all the beautiful landscapes to make that point. All together, it’s a really impressive music video. It would be even better to watch on a huge screen.
This song takes you places. The band Deep Dive Species made “Adventus” sound breathtaking, both to listen to and to watch. They’re always trying new styles and ways to keep you engaged. The new song got me excited about their future. Even though it’s only one track so far, you can tell they’re aiming high with their music this time.
I love the mix so much. Especially with the way it floats all around you. It all comes together for a rewarding experience listening to “Adventus”. This song does a great job introducing what Deep Dive Species will do next. Their next chapter seems like it will be really exciting. Make sure you check out the band right away on Spotify and YouTube. Stream the single and watch the music video.
