The unrelenting new offering was released last week to rave reviews across the board and debuted at an impressive #148 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. This album is hailed as the most brutal and unrelenting offering of the legendary Dino Cazares' stellar career. Newcomer Travis Neal (ex-The Bereaved) has undoubtedly proven that he is the perfect fit for the role as he delivers a debut performance for the ages. The group kicks off the album touring cycle Oct. 14th on a massive North American fall tour as direct support to Moonspell. Be sure to visit [http://www.myspace.com/divineheresyband](http://www.myspace.com/divineheresyband) to view their complete touring itinerary. Cazares further states: "We have been waiting patiently for the perfect touring opportunity to present itself and we couldn't possibly be more pleased to be direct support to the mighty Moonspell this fall. This North American tour is exactly what we were looking for as we wanted a chance to perform in front of a lot of new faces that might not have been exposed to our band. This tour marks the kickoff of a massive worldwide touring campaign to support the new Bringer of Plagues album. DIVINE HERESY is better than ever and we are embarking on this tour with only one, simple goal in mind: to annihilate everything in our path. Expect an unrelenting set and if your jaw isn't on the floor when we finish, then we haven't done our job, but that won't be the case. Be sure to come by the merch booth each night to say hello to us all and we look forward to seeing everyone soon. It's certainly been way too long." DIVINE HERESY just completed a new video for the Bringer of Plagues' scathing opening cut, "Facebreaker," with renowned director Brian Thompson (Killswitch Engage). The clip features the band's frenetic live performance surrounded by an apocalyptic background setting.

Cazares further comments: "The songwriting process for this album was a great experience and the ideas were constantly flowing. Collaborating with Tim Yeung, Joe Payne and Neal, all together hashing out ideas in the practice space was very therapeutic and enjoyable. We all had a collective desire to take our performances to the next level with this release to undoubtedly prove that we are one of the most devastating bands in the scene today. This is most evident on the opening cut 'Face Breaker,' which we can't wait for all of you to hear. Check it out and drop us a message to let us know what you think of it. We will see you all soon." DIVINE HERESY teamed up once again with acclaimed producing team Dirty Icon (Logan Mader and Lucas Banker) who has recently produced Cavalera Conspiracy, Gojira and Five Finger Death Punch. This album undeniably upped the ante in brutality, precision and technicality as the group are more focused and tighter than ever before. Bringer of Plagues features the legendary machine gun riffs that'll take your breath away, combined with some jaw-dropping double-bass drum insanity. After a year and a half of touring with the likes of All That Remains, Static-X, Arch Enemy, Shadows Fall and Chimaira, DIVINE HERESY have proven that they are a stellar live act and are a force to be reckoned with. http://www.centurymedia.com/newsdetailed.aspx?IdNews=8151&IdCompany=2 Century Media Records Century Media Records Wed, 03 Jun 2009 00:00:00 GMT DIVINE HERESY are hard at work on their much anticipated sophomore release, their first with Travis Neal on vocals.

We shot it on a green screen and all of the effects were added in post production, which was very odd considering we are jamming out in front of a blank wall not having any idea how everything was going to look. "We are so confident with our choice of a new vocalist that we decided to re-record the track with his vocals and cut together a new performance clip with him. In the end, everything worked out perfectly and we think we delivered a pretty intense clip that is very indicative of the tenacity of a DIVINE HERESY live performance.

He definitely has the range and stage presence to make him one of the genre's most lethal vocalists out there and the new material we are writing is going to smoke our debut. It's more brutal, faster and pissed off, so you better start preparing yourselves now. Until then, we went ahead and re-recorded "Bleed The Fifth" with Travis and it's just a little taste of what this guy is truly capable of so enjoy and we will see you soon." http://www.centurymedia.com/newsdetailed.aspx?IdNews=7994&IdCompany=2 Century Media Records Century Media Records Thu, 14 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMT There has been much speculation as of late to the status of DIVINE HERESY's lead singer situation after their last tour, and the band is now going back to the drawing board to explore more options.
