DIVINE HERESY BREAK UP?!
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008 at 11:04am by Axl Rosenberg
Iann Robinson at None Louder is reporting that Divine Heresy broke-up on stage at this past weekend’s New England Metal & Hardcore Festival:
“From what was being spread around the monitors were out and vocalist Tommy Vext couldn’t hear himself. After eight songs and fearing his voice might blow Vext requested the band cut the set short. Ex-Fear Factory member Dino Cazares shoved Vext and a physical altercation ensued. As far as we know the band is no more but that could change.”
There’s been no official statement from the band or their label, and everything looks hunky dory on the band’s MySpace page; still, we consider Robinson a very reliable source, so I’m inclined to believe that this is real.
I’m sure that Fear Factory fans will celebrate this news as evidence that a full-on FF reunion is in the works (especially after Dino was spotted hanging out with Burton C. Bell a few weeks ago). Still, even if Divine Heresy were to break up, I’d hope it would be in a somewhat more amicable manner than this; when we interviewed the band back in November, they seemed like genuinely nice dudes who were really enjoying working together, and for former bouncer/security guard Vext, getting to front Dino’s new band must have seemed like winning the lottery.
Divine Heresy are suppposed to kick off their next U.S. tour May 9 in Philly; presumably we’ll get some kind of official word before then.

They didnt break up onstage at New England Metal and Hardcore fest. It was the night before. They never made it to Worcester. The stories were spreading all weekend at NEMHF, but the band never made it.
Definitely heard that there was band drama. I can confirm there is “beef”. To further it Tommy has been removed for the band members on their Myspace page ( http://www.myspace.com/divineheresyband )
Which begs the question, does a hardcore metal vocalist really need to hear himself?
lol….who cares?
I like Divine Heresy. I know that a lot of people think that it will never live up to Fear Factory or whatever, but I think Bleed the Fifth was a solid album.
yeh i just noticed they did remove Tommy from the myspace. so i guess they will be looking for some one new…and not breaking the band up.
I really like Cazares as a guitarist, and the music in Divine Heresy was pretty good (save for a few choruses). BUT jesus-buttfucking-christ Tommy Vext is a terrible singer. Here’s hoping for a fear factory reunion to make up for the total bullshit that was Obsolete, Digimortal, and the god-awful, cancer causing Transgression.
Cazares is extremely overrated as a guitarist. On top of that he doesn’t seem to be able to get along with anyone. Screw Dino Cazares.
TOMMY HAS BEEN SACKED…
I know it’s wikipedia, but:
“Tommy “Vext” Cummings has been fired from Divine Heresy as of April 26, 2008. Auditions have been held for a new frontman for the band.”
[...] been a rough, rough week for the fellas of Divine Heresy. First, as Axl reported on Tuesday, there was an altercation over the weekend at the band’s show in Poughkeepsie, NY the night [...]
