ERDVE scrapped a finished album — then built "Epigrama" from scratch. Exclusive interview

Vaidotas — vocalist and main creative force behind Lithuania's ERDVE — on the new album Epigrama (Season of Mist, out now). Inside: why they scrapped ~50 minutes of near-finished music they were about to deliver to a label; how the lyrics grew out of universal entropy and "moral debt"; and what it was like to play the former Lukiškės Prison (where his own grandfather was once held) and a Vilnius church. ⏱ Chapters: 1:03 Welcome & the new album 1:24 Scrapping a finished album 8:37 Co-producing Epigrama with Adomas 12:28 What changed since Savigaila 18:16 The lyrics: entropy & moral debt 27:04 Singing in Lithuanian, not English 36:26 The visuals: gravestone statues 44:24 Playing a church & a former prison 50:55 Inside Lukiškės Prison 56:29 Closing words & what's next Follow Erdve: Bandcamp: https://erdvesom.bandcamp.com/album/ Instagram:   / _erdve_   Facebook:   / erdvelt   TikTok:   / erdve   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7ucte... #Erdve #Epigrama #SeasonOfMist #SludgeMetal #PostMetal #LithuanianMetal #TheMetalList #MetalInterview
