VVON DOGMA I Launches Patreon Bass Lessons w/ 9-String Playthrough Video For “Day of the Dead”; New Album "The Kvlt of Glitch" Out Now!
VVON DOGMA I's music is not for the faint of heart. Their music is complex, challenging, and at times even unsettling. But for those who are willing to take the journey with them, the rewards are immense, especially if any are also interested in bassist Chaoth's launched lessons via Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/BeyondBass. The band's music is a sonic exploration of the human experience, headed by bassist Chaoth who wields an eye-catching nine-string bass. His prowess can be witnessed in the latest bass playthrough video for “Day of the Dead”, which comes off the newly released album "The Kvlt of Glitch". He shares his thoughts on the single:
““Day of the Dead” is in the same vein as “Triangles”, but is definitely electronic-heavy. Crazy tapping and riffing in there. This song too had its name as a working title forever simply because I found that main tapping riff on November 1st, which in certain cultures is the Día de Muertos. Then it turned into a tale of lust and suicide... I think...”
When it comes to his influences, Chaoth cites that, for him, when it comes to metal he resides more in the Alt-Metal realm and vibes with modern low-tuned guitars that provide sexy rhythms. He says that it's a beautiful thing to see guitar culture that keeps evolving after all these years of rock and roll despite the music scene being mainly electronic and synthetic.
He continues to explain that while Vvon Dogma I is still a very young outfit, "The Kvlt of Glitch" is way more produced than the modest “Communion” EP. It has proper album production and to him, it feels great to finally have a proper sound to his ideas.
A frantic barrage of intense low-end and throbbing synth awaits adventurous listeners especially those who enjoy Meshuggah, Igorrr, and Deftones.

"The invigorating glitched out bliss they have on display here is as dense as it is rewarding, with nothing falling out of place, yet with everything shifting all the time. If “The Void” is any indication of what’s to come, I seriously cannot wait to hear the rest of The Kvlt of Glitch, when it lands on May 5th independently." - Everything Is Noise
"Vvon Dogma I are an act I praised many, many moons ago and I'm stoked to do so again. The band lead by ex-uneXpect bassist Frédérick Filiatrault is mixing electronics, progressive metal, vocoder, grooves and more. This one is for prog nerds and bass geeks alike. Also, there's a wild cover of Radiohead's "2 + 2 =5" and you won't hear anything like it anywhere else." - Metal Injection
"Vvon Dogma are back with a new video for their new record, The Kvlt of Glitch, in the form of the track “One Eye.” It features some seriously insane nine-string bass playing... Chaoth, their nine-string bassist, is a big driver behind their experimental sound and their popularity." - Metal Sucks
"The album promises to push boundaries with its unconventional approach to music." - Metal Insider
"The path has been challenging for this new Canadian juggernaut, but now awakened in their futuristic glory Vvon Dogma I has positioned themselves to emerge victorious in a way past efforts did not. Worship noise, don leather straps and desert goggles, turn down the lights—the Kvlt will consume you." - Angry Metal Guy
"if you’re in the market for something a bit different and potentially challenging, then check this out. If you’re a fan of bands such as Scale the Summit, Synaptic Glitch, Cynic, Meshuggah, Animals as Leaders, Sleep Token, Unprocessed, and OU, then put this on your radar." - Wonderbox Metal
"If you have a taste for more of a quirky and off kilter variety of djent-flavored contemporary progressive metal, this album is probably one that merits a check." - Progressor
