German metalcore outfit MAVIS are back and more intense than ever with their latest single, “DNA,” a raw, crushing track that marks a bold evolution in their already impressive career. Following the success of their debut album Grief Is No Ally, this new release pushes the band into uncharted territory, offering a heavier and more profound sonic landscape.
The track was produced in collaboration with Manuel Renner at Überlärm Studios, where the band has previously crafted their signature sound. “DNA” blends the band’s familiar, hard-hitting metalcore elements with darker, deeper nuances, reflecting the band’s relentless growth since their formation. With thumping riffs, aggressive drumming, and a unrelenting presence, “DNA” stands as a testament to MAVIS’ commitment to pushing their creative boundaries.
The accompanying music video for “DNA” is as dynamic as the song itself. It showcases the band’s explosive energy and features a visual journey that complements the song’s theme of transformation and empowerment. “DNA” introduces the listener to a mystical entity, one that confronts and overcomes its darkest fears. As the story unfolds, the entity undergoes a profound transformation, embracing the darkness and rising stronger, more confident, and more powerful.
Phil Donay, the band’s frontman, brings a new dimension to the track with his expanded vocal range. Known for his powerful screams and intense delivery, Donay pushes himself further with deeper, heavier screams that amplify the raw emotion of “DNA.” His lyrics are a reflection of both personal and collective transformation, speaking to the band’s ongoing journey and the resilience they’ve cultivated along the way.
“DNA” marks a new chapter for MAVIS — one defined by their unyielding passion, dedication, and an ever-expanding presence with Germany’s metal scene. This powerhouse of a single is sure to make waves both in their homeland and internationally, setting the stage for even bigger things to come.
After standout performances at major festivals like Summer Breeze Open Air and packed shows across Germany, MAVIS’ “DNA” signals the band’s continued ascent. As they embrace new challenges and evolve sonically, the band’s loyal fanbase can only anticipate what’s next in this exciting new era.
