MAVIS are back with a powerhouse of a single, DNA, redefining heavy and diving headfirst into raw, uncharted territory for the German metalcore ambassadors. Once again teaming up with Manuel Renner at Überlärm Studios, MAVIS has crafted a sound that’s both crushing and exhilarating, pushing their own boundaries to reach new levels of intensity and depth.
Following last year’s debut album, Grief is no Ally, DNA kicks off a bold new era for the band—one marked by relentless growth, packed shows across Germany, and standout performances at top festivals like Summer Breeze Open Air. This new release taps into the band’s evolving style and success as they continue to make waves in Germany’s metal scene, capturing a darker, more profound essence that reflects their journey and transformation.
With DNA, frontman Phil Donay explores new vocal territory, incorporating heavier, lower screams that enhance the song’s raw emotion. His lyrics tell the story of a mystical entity that learns to overcome its fears through a transformative journey—embracing darkness and reshaping itself, ultimately embodying confidence and newfound power.
