DxVxDxD SxLF – Before The Dawn

DxVxDxD SxLF (pronounced Divided Self) is a French Symphonic Black/Gothic Metal band from Clermont-Ferrand. Their sound fuses raw intensity with melodic elegance, combining aggressive riffs, symphonic arrangements, and a dark, theatrical atmosphere.

The band’s style thrives on contrasts: harsh Black Metal elements meet orchestral soundscapes, deep growls intertwine with clean vocals, and crushing power is balanced by haunting melancholy. Lyrically and aesthetically, they explore duality – light and shadow, spirituality and inner conflict, strength and fragility.

With their captivating stage presence and a blend of darkness, energy, and drama, DxVxDxD SxLF has carved out a unique place in the French metal scene, standing at the crossroads of Black, Gothic, and Symphonic Metal.
