Divine Heresy (metal, cd, debut album, album, vocalist)

PerFeCTioNThrUSileNCe · 10-05-2007, 01:21 AM

Dino Cazares, formerly of Fear Factory, formed a new band with ex-Nile drummer Tim Yeung, and Killswitch Engage vocalist runner up Tommy Cummings called "Divine Heresy". I picked up their debut album "Bleed the Fifth". It's a pretty solid release. The drums and guitars sync up really well and if you've heard Killswitch Engage you can definitely tell why Cummings was considered for the vocal spot in that band.

The cd falls short in the leads department, which is a little disappointing. I would definitely enjoy it a lot more if it was a little more diverse in terms of influences, but overall, it's a good, solid album.

Hmmmm i like Fear Factory, but this band just seems like another generic Roadrunner band. Musicianship is good enough though.

for what it is, it's good. I don't see it being a critical success but it's ok for a mindless blast of death metal. It's a good challege to try play along with Tim Yeung too! haha

I imagine their next album will be better/more diverse, just because they'll have gotten better at combining their styles.

I really like Fear factory, but this did'nt really impress me. I liked the drums, but mixing commercial choruses with intense blasts of speed does'nt really fit. As you say though, time will tell.

Just figured I'd mention..by the way...that the song I posted a link to the video for is the most mainstream song on the album.

Darkest Hour · 07-25-2009, 01:49 AM

failed creation is their only good song.

wow....way to raise a thread from the grave.

Haha...I haven't been here in so long... I don't think I've listened to this band at all since I posted this thread.....in 2007.......

Not bad, kind of straight forward. As Darkest Hour noted Failed Creation is a terrible song and a poor choice for a single. It doesn't represent the band very well at all.

the new cd sounds pretty good. I love their drumming.
