DIVINITY
The Singularity
Release Date: 8/10/2010
About.com calls Canadian modern metal juggernaut DIVINITY "a band to keep an eye (and ear) on." Following their debut album Allegory (2008, Nuclear Blast), the Alberta-based five-piece have crafted another polished album of melodic death/thrash that is sure to further their already growing fanbase. "The more I listen to The Singularity, the better it gets," says MetalSucks in an early review of the album. "It's complex, its' progressive, it's deep, it's brutal, it's shreddy, it's hooky, it's artsy... it's everything you want a metal record to be."
Armed with an arsenal of growls, high-pitched screams and melodic clean vocals, The Singularity successfully works through an amalgamation of crushing thrash, complex progressive metal arrangements, and brutal death metal overtones. It should easily qualify as one of the year's more memorable aural assaults. The poise of each song's shifting time signatures and their unpredictable rhythmic insanities alone are devastating.
Lyrically tackling the themes of mindless consumerism, survival in the midst of adversity, the chaos of existence, and humanity's battle against technology, DIVINITY deliver a rock-solid audio palette. Songs "Monsters Are Real," "Emergent," "Beg To Consume" and "Lay In The Bed You've Made" unquestionably exhibit the band's dynamic and ferocious range.
