DIVINE HERESY Comments On New Touring Singer

July 21, 2008

DIVINE HERESY, the Southern California-based band led by former FEAR FACTORY guitarist Dino Cazares, has issued the following update:

"First and foremost, we would like to give a big thanks to Jake Veredika [former lead singer of the Maryland-based metal band PERIPHERY] for filling in on vocals and helping us out on the ARCH ENEMY/DARK TRANQUILITY tour. We have recently recruited Travis Neal (THE BEREAVED, PUSHED) to perform vocals with us on our upcoming tour in Mexico, South America, Indianapolis Metal Fest and Dino's birthday bash show in Los Angeles at the Whisky A-Go Go September 7th [as BLABBERMOUTH.NETfirst reported on July 17 — Ed.]. He has nailed everything perfect at rehearsals and comes highly recommended by Kerry King (SLAYER). We would also like to thank everybody who submitted vocal auditions for your time, efforts, and support.

"Between rehearsals with Travis, we're in process of writing new material, the new shit is crushing and is taking our music to a new level. We are looking forward to seeing everybody out on tour this fall and we will be dropping our brand new video for 'Bleed The Fifth'. Stay tuned."

Travis Neal (see photo below) in January joined the Swedish melodic death/thrash metal band THE BEREAVED as the group's new frontman. He has since recorded the vocal tracks for THE BEREAVED's new album, "Daylight Deception", which is due later in the year via Vic Records. Three songs from the CD are available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.

DIVINE HERESY's debut album, "Bleed the Fifth", has sold more than 20,000 copies in the United States since its August 2007 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD was released in Japan with an exclusive bonus track, "Purity Defiled".
