Divine Heresy - 'Bringer Of Plagues'

The band is back with a new album! I really liked their first album Bleed the Fifth and was disappointed to hear that vocalist had departed. Still eagerly anticipating the new album I got it on the day of release. It is awesome! I would say the style of music is something you all will have heard before. There is nothing groundbreaking here, except possibly how good the new vocalist is. His sound, to me, is surprisingly similar to the vocalist of AHC - American Headcharge whom I also enjoy listening to. The drums are tight, riffs are as good as their first album (even a little better) and the sound of the album varies a bit more than Bleed the Fifth. Facebreaker: Lets you know what the album is about from the get go. I'd say this song has a more reminiscent sound to what Bleed The Fifth was like. The battle of J.Casey: good rhythmn, melodic, a nice solo Undevine Prophecies into Bringer of Plagues: A great intro followed by some fast drumming and screams. Dino with his signature sounds. I can see many circle pits to be had with this one. Redefine: This one is solid. The first half of the song mixes a fast pace drum beat with some singing and screams in the chorus. Exactly mid way the song slows down with a riff which will make anyone want to jump around headbanging...then nicely takes you back to the pace of the beginning. There are elements of this song that remind me of Strapping Young Lad. Anarchaos: I love the tone of this song. Very heavy. Monotholic doomsday devices: I like all the songs on the album, this one is perhaps a little more average in sound. It's good but there is nothing that makes me want to listen to it more than three times in a row. Letter to Mother: Great song. If you were to introduce a friend to Divine Heresy which lets you know what to expect this song meets a lot of the criteria...but then, so does Redefine. Enemy Kill: Another crowd mover, with a chorus that people will sing along to. Darkness Embedded: Slow down, its time a for a breather with this track. A welcome song to relieve the whiplash before the finale of the album. The End Begins: The song title is fitting. In case you had fogotten that the plague is coming...well with this one it's hear now. The song vocalising how nightmares have materialised and a ""sad sounding"" end how we're all dying. Eek! But its not over... Forever the Failure: Possibly my favourite song on the album. If you've followed me this far...stop reading now! Go and buy the album :)
