There are a lot of metal bands today forming and assimilating to whatever fad exists in the scene at the moment. What is lacking is the influence of the classic thrash and heavy metal bands that have been forgotten in the industry-wide worship of nonsense. With the growing commercialism of metal and the MTV buzzword that's become "hardcore", many look upon the current state of heavy music with disappointment and disgust... and who can blame them? Breakdown focused song writing, image focused bands, and the fact that what has been a long time scene for many has now become a market and fad for others.
The Divining come to you from Philadelphia, PA--a notorious and historic city in the world of underground metal and hardcore--as a reaffirmation of faith, that there are still young bands out there that have stuck to their guns in this recent movement of metal and hardcore into pop culture, which has left integrity behind on its corporate minded warpath. The Divining deliver a refreshing mixture of thrash and heavy metal, sure to bring back memories of the days when bands like At the Gates, Pantera, and Testament were among the genre's elite.
The Divining have completed tours with One Dead Three Wounded and Lokyata as well as a full US tour in the summer of 2005 and an east coast tour in January 2006. The Divining have also shared the stage with bands such as Bleeding Through, Caliban, Sworn Enemy, Himsa, Haste the Day, Coalesce, Animosity, Full Blown Chaos, As Blood Runs Black, The Faceless, Scars of Tomorrow, 3 Inches of Blood, Arsis, Ion Dissonance, Death by Stereo, Blacklisted, The Minor Times, Beneath the Massacre, August Burns Red, Daughters, The Banner, and Ligeia to name a few.
