DIVINITY Releases New Single 'The Dead Speak From Beyond' From Part 1 Of Upcoming Trilogy, The Immortalist
December 21, 2012, 11 years ago
Canadian tech-death metallers DIVINITY have released a new single, 'The Dead Speak From Beyond'. The song comes from the first part of their upcoming trilogy release, entitled The Immortalist Trilogy, Part 1 - Awestruck.
Listen to the new track below:
The song is actually a PERICARDIUM cover, from the album Anthems Of Anger, written by none other than the late Rob Doherty, who also played in INTO ETERNITY and FINAL DARKNESS. Divinity was first influenced by Pericardium in the late 90's, hearing 'The Dead Speak From Beyond' on a radio show called The Anvil on CJSW in Calgary, Alberta. The band went on to rent a rehearsal space that turned out to be next door to Rob and Pericardium, and finally met him and his band. After seeing Pericardium play live, they were instant fans and played a gig together in 2001. They also played together when Rob joined Into Eternity in 2003.
As Divinity was beginning to build up new music in 2012, they had learned about Rob's sudden passing and felt they had to do something to pay tribute to all the positive influence he had among the band. So it became obvious to make the song 'The Dead Speak From Beyond' a Divinity song and keep the legacy of Rob Doherty and Pericardium alive and strong.
