Nieuw Divine Heresy materiaal
28 Juli zal (in Amerika, de Europese datum is nog te volgen) het nieuwe Divine Heresy album verschijnen. Bringer of Plagues gaat het kindje heten, en zal via een gezamenlijke deal van Century Media en Roadrunner op de wereld geholpen worden.
Op de MySpace is alvast aan de hand van het nummer Face Breaker en het intermezzo Undivine Prophecies te horen dat de stijl van Bleed the Fifth (2007) wordt voortgezet.
Personeel van dienst is nog steeds het trio Dino Cazares (gitaar), Joe Payne (bas) en Tim Yeung (drums), aangevuld door zanger Travis Neal, die sinds vorig jaar Tommy Vext vervangt. De productie staat op de naam van het Dirty Icon team (van Logan Mader (ex-Machine Head) en Lucas Banker).
With Neal now having a few shows under his belt, his confidence is coming across through the new material. 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.

I could have carried on being successful in Latin America with Brujeria, and my other band, Asesino. But that wasn’t enough. I wanted to do something that would go beyond what I’ve achieved before. Something to take metal into the 21st Century.
I know that my fans expect something special from me. And I would never let them down. With every project that I’ve done, what’s been important is to ensure that I deliver music that doesn’t just meet people’s expectations, but goes beyond them. That’s important to me. I know that I could coast along and do well on the back of my reputation, but that would be to cheat everyone – including myself. I really do believe that with Divine Heresy, I’m once again setting the highest standards.
