The first Dvar album was released in 1995, and the last in 2012. HistoryThe members of Dvar have kept their identities secret, therefore very little is known about their formation. In an interview, they stated, "Dvar is something that came in a dream."{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}} Band members claim to have heard music in their dreams, presented to them by a being named Dvar.{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}} In several interviews the band has insisted that all of their music is directly inspired by the Dvar being, with the band serving as mere messengers.{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}} Some fans have claimed that the Dvar being took on the shape of a giant bee, based on the recurring theme of bees in their album artwork.{{Citation needed|date=November 2018}} They stated in an interview, when asked what they think about Kabbalah learnings, that they know Dvar is 211.[1] In Hebrew, Dvar means Word of... or thing. The vocals which accompany Dvar's music use what appears to be a constructed language, which displays a sound pattern that is somewhat reminiscent of ancient Semitic languages. Due to this similarity, many followers of the band claim that the "lyrics" are sung in the occult Enochian language.{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}} However, the band has given no clues as to the nature of their invented language, except to say that, like the music, the vocals merely relate the message of the Dvar being.{{Citation needed|date=June 2018}} Their first known work was a 1998 self-released tape called Raii, though rumors have circulated of an earlier self-released tape from 1995, simply named DVAR.[2] In 2000, the duo issued a self-released 4-track CD-R demo called Taai Liira. In 2002, the band released their first album on the Italian S.P.K.R/Radio Luxor record label, called Piirrah. In 2003, Dvar moved to the Russian label Irond and released five albums: Roach (2003), Rakhilim (2004), a 2004 re-release of Taai Liira with bonus tracks, Hor Hor (2005) and Oramah Maalhur (2005). The album Madegirah – Early Works was announced in 2005, but not be released until 2009. In 2007, the band moved to the label Gravitator and released Jraah Mraah. Their song "Teremiah K'ruun" was used in an Alfa-Bank 2007 New Year commercial.[3][4] In 2008, the band released Zii under the label Art Music Group. In 2009, Fayah! was released, a dark counterpart to Zii, along with a release of Madegirah, now entitled Madegirah – Bizarre Rares and Early Works. In mid-2010, their tenth anniversary album, El Mariil was released, with an unusual medieval sound. A new album Deii was released in Russian magazine "Мир Фантастики" (English: Mir Fantastiki {{a.k.a.}} World of Sci-Fi) in mp3 320 kb/s format. Physical copies of the album were released in December 2012 on Shadowplay Records. The release consists of two parts (two 16-track CDs) in Digipack format.{{citation needed|date=November 2018}} StyleThe band has an idiosyncratic style combining electronic music with screeching and bird-like vocals. The lyrics, according to the band, are written in the Enochian language, though they claim that they do not understand most of what is told to them by the creature Dvar. The band's record label has attempted to distance the band from the "darkwave" label through inclusion in a series of compilations entitled Highlights of Lightwave.[5] The artist E.O.M.†.A.K.E.K made an album titled A Tribute to Dvar[6] with a description saying, “At the humble beginnings of my music making journey, It was Dvar that help spark that flame. This is my gift to you, Dvar. The very first album released onto this name. Thank you for being a major inspiration in my life.“ Russian group Draw has released three albums with covers very similar to those of Dvar, believed to be either a tribute to Dvar or a mockery of Dvar. With Draw's first album Хааа' Хах,[7] hosted by Immoral Basement Records on Bandcamp.com.[8] We get a author's note quoting, “Our label continues to unofficially republish old, little-known, but interesting projects. This time two projects fell into my hands, which are parodies of the legendary darkvarve / lightwave-group Dvar. The first project is called Gvar (about it a little later), and the second Draw (talk about it and go). And so, this is the debut release of Drav, which is the most obvious caricature of the very same Dvar. The music, however, resembles Dvar only remotely, and the vocals are completely absent. However, there are names in the 'fictional' language, which is, as you may have already noticed, distorted Russian words. Dvar also refers to a cover with an anthropomorphic insect depicted on it.“ With Draw's second album Двав'р Кота-Ах,[9] hosted by Immoral Basement Records on Bandcamp.com.[10] We get a author's note quoting, “The Draw Group”, the first album of which became so popular after the mysterious disappearance of one of the fans, mysteriously sent me a second tape with their work. A note was attached to the new audio recording in which Drav reported that they had become rich after one of the western recording companies signed a contract with them. The musicians have already earned a lot of money on melodies for porn films and have bought a villa, a car and little monkeys. The remaining money “Draw” was spent on searching and hiring a vocalist. Their choice fell on one of the most mysterious singers of the world dark scene, whose voice you can hear in “Dvav'r Kota Akh”, the main composition of the new album.“ Dvar's vocals have also appeared in some of Caprice's songs, mainly "Kywitt Kywitt" and "Fae Fae Fae Fae Fae Fae Fae".{{citation needed|date=November 2018}} IdentityDvar has kept their identities secret, including their hometown, their ages, or exactly how many band members there are. However, Dvar is presumed to be a duo. This has led to many impostors claiming that they either are Dvar or know the identities of the band members. One rumor claimed that Dvar was Michael Jackson's secret project,[11] and that Dvar's members are patients in a mental institution. The band itself claims that Dvar is something "supernatural" that is delivered through them to share with the world. Discography
