Divine Heresy

The Profile

Divine Heresy is an American extreme metal band formed by guitarist Dino Cazares and drummer Tim Yeung. The group released two albums—Bleed the Fifth (2007) with vocalist Tommy Vext and Bringer of Plagues (2009) with vocalist Travis Neal.

Founded by Dino Cazares (Fear Factory) with Tim Yeung; early lineup included Tommy Vext (vocals) and Joe Payne (bass); later vocalist Travis Neal appears on Bringer of Plagues.

Three DeBaser reviews weigh in on Divine Heresy’s precision-heavy extreme metal. Bleed the Fifth earns solid praise for energy and execution, with Fear Factory shades and standout drumming. Bringer of Plagues is lauded for technique yet faulted for a too-mechanical production sheen. Across the board: big riffs, rapid shifts, clean/melodic choruses—and debate over soul vs. polish.
