Recently reformed Texas death metal veterans DIVINE EVE check in with the following update:

"Divine Eve is very proud to announce our first live performances in over 14 years!

They will be executed on our first European tour ever, in early 2010 with INCANTATION and HATE. In support of our 4 song EP Vengeful and Obstinate, a prelude to our debut full length, to be made available on Ibex Moon Records.

We are very eager to perform in many places we have long held friends, comrades, fans, fellow bands, and old tape traders! Unfortunately, Matt Killen is unable to participate on this tour so Kyle Severn (Incantation) has volunteered his skills in Matt's place behind the drum kit.

Handling bass guitar duties will be Scott Cooksey, a long time comrade and quite suitable live member to complete Divine Eve for this tour."

2010 touring lineup:

Xan Hammack - lead guitar/vocals

Michael Sleavin - guitar/vocals

Scott Cooksey - bass

Kyle Severn - drums

One of the most crushing Death/Doom Metal bands ever to emerge, Divine Eve have returned with their first new material since 1994! Musically influenced by BLACK SABBATH, CELTIC FROST, HELLHAMMER, SODOM, VENOM, BATHORY, ENTOMBED's Left Hand Path album and CATHEDRAL’s Forest Of Equilibrium album, Divine Eve have been often imitated but never duplicated. Lyrically they draw inspiration from pure visions of ancient Pagan history, novel heretical ideologies and dismal shrouded dreams. Divine Eve's impact can be heard in many current acts today but no one can hold a candle to the originators who are finally resurrected from the grave! Vex play a unique brand of death metal with their fusion of atavistic aggression and dark melody. Taking influence from artists such as THE CHASM, THE CROWN, CELTIC FROST and DISSECTION, the occasional sonic and rhythmic exploration harkens back to the age of progressive acts like VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR, URIAH HEEP and MAGMA. This combination acts as a background to vocal landscapes that portray the most desolate side of the human experience with lyrical influence from writers such as Jorge Luis Borges, W.B. Yeats and T.S. Eliot. Pressed on Mixed Marble vinyl and packaged in a glue pocket jacket with full color insert.
