Decline Of The I shares live video for ‘Diev Vide’

French philosophically-themed black metallers DECLINE OF THE I share pro-shot live video for the song “Diev Vide”, lifted from the band’s fourth studio album “Johannes” from 2021. Watch the video below.

The video was filmed and edited in France in fall 2025 by Laura-Lee Soleman and engineered by Simon Assathiany.

DECLINE OF THE I is a combination of multifaceted, post-black metal and exploratory lyrics, that dwell on topics of existential philosophy. Originating from France (Paris, Île-de-France), the band was created by AK, who descends from a rich portfolio of past and on-going acts (including Vorkreist, Merrimack, The Order Of Apollyon, Neo Inferno 262, Malhkebre and Diapsiquir). DECLINE OF THE I is his most personal endeavor yet. The band’s first three albums were inspired by the works of French surgeon and neurologist, Henri Laborit. The latest album – “Wilhelm” from 2025 – pursues a different approach, based on the output of Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, and marks the second installment of a new trilogy, started with “Johannes” in 2021.
