DIVINITY: FUCKING WOW.

 Friday, October 9th, 2009 at 1:30pm by

divinity - the singularityMS Maniac Raymond Lee sent us a link to the Canadian progressive metal band Divinity with the following email subject line: “fucking, wow.”

For once, you guys got it right. Elaborates Mr. Lee:

They’ve got this weird mixture of SYL and Meshuggah.  Incredible shredding, awesome drum work, great vocals.  Fucking hell they make my balls quiver.  I think they’d be a good band to feature.
-Ray
P.S.  I’m pretty much completely baked right now.
P.S.S.  And I’m hammered.

Baked, hammered or not, Divinity definitely make my balls quiver. According to a press release we received earlier this month but skipped over (oops) the band is now without a record label following their 2008 release Allegory on Nuclear Blast. But the band is soldiering on and self-releasing their new album The Singularity on December 1st through all the usual outlets — iTunes, Amazon, Tunecore etc. How can a band this good remain unsigned? Someone get on that. Listenable Records, Relapse or Prosthetic should be all over these guys.

    SHUT UP VINCE YOU KNOW I’M ALL OVER THIS.

  • Ziltoid

    Not offensive or anything, but I hear weedily weedily…

    This is very tame for “SYL and Meshuggah” influence. Boring and lifeless to say the least.

    • Strapping Young Lad

      Ziltoid, I hate you.

    • Malacoda

      I kind of agree with Ziltoid here. This sure does take the influence, but it isn’t that interesting and just seems kind of generic to me. The song “Plasma” is pretty metalcore-ish.

    • MetalMeatHammer

      I agree… except for the part where you sound like a naive moron.

      Almost reminds me of the day my “metal ear pussy cherry” was popped, good stuff.

  • ETIDIOT

    fucking stoked to see Divinity featured on MS. they are from the same city as me and its weird to see how big they’ve become. one day they’re playing small local shows and the next they sign to nuclear blast and are playing alongside legends. one of my old friends from high school is dating the drummer now… small world…

    ps. I too am baked and hammered

  • Sandwiches

    Shut the fuck up ziltoid.

  • cosk

    .p.s. — ziltoid – suck it

    pretty impressive.

  • mike

    Nuclear Blast are fools for not investing in these guys more.

    Check out the track NeuroTyrant from their Allegory album. 3 minutes and 14 seconds of absolute progressive hectic madness.

  • Greywhind

    I’m impressed. Very impressed. Definitely going to have to pick up their album(s) at some point.

  • Scott

    Meh, sikth,tesseract, projectfuge, and periphery are way better

  • Dan

    i’m very impressed…downloaded ‘Allegory’ off iTunes this morning, only $5.99…how are these guys not signed? i hope they get picked up soon, an amazing band

  • Mike

    Fuckin’ WOW is RIGHT. Holy shit. Canada brings some of the best fucking metal out today.

    I’m sold…100 fucking % sold. I actually prefer this OVER SYL and Meshuggah from what I’ve heard so far.

  • Mitchell

    This shit is AMAZING. I just listened to everything on their MySpace

  • Mike

    HOW CAN NUCLEAR BLAST DROP THIS BAND!!! I HOPE ROADRUNNER OR PROSTHETIC PICK THESE GUY UP!!! http://www.myspace.com/divinitymetal http://www.youtube.com/user/seanzay
