From his involvement in the scene as far back as the early 2000s, his roots with prolific bands like The Overmind and Divine Affliction, and his present successes with Imperious Vision, Deven has solidified his place as a local scene legend, at a relatively young age.
On this episode we discuss:
South African Metal: Whether it's in a better place now than "back in the day"
Wacken Metal Battle: We break down Imperious Vision's recent victory at the Durban heat
New Music: We get updates on the upcoming Imperious Vision album
The AI Controversy: We get his take on artificial intelligence in the local alternative scene
and more.
This is a chilled conversation in Deven's lounge that was shot, edited and graded by Nasiphi. It is visually and tonally inspired by the recent Apple Music interview ft. J.Cole. The setting is meant to invoke a familiar feeling of home and comfort, while the grading aims to be as grounded as possible.
