Looming from the ashes of the underground an unspoken entity, known only as Velve, has been brewing. Formed in Cape Town, South Africa amidst a country struggling to overcome a long history of prejudice, conservatism and inequality, this band wields a sound equalled only by its restless, dark undertone.

By harnessing the power and influence of alternative, metal, gothic and punk, Velve has managed to command a distinctly dark, but disturbingly unique brand of rock. Their music combines brutal honesty, intricate melodies and powerful rhythms, deafening ignorant ears, whilst whispering forgotten secrets to those who understand.
