Dead and Divine is a Southern rock-influenced metalcore four-piece rock ensemble out of Ontario, Canada. Their mainstream success spawned from their 2005 debut full-length release What Really Happened At Lover's Lane on Verona Records (a label created by Shane Told of Silverstein, and the band themselves).

[edit] Biography

Their initial full length record beat all expectations when in its first week alone it sold nearly 1000 copies nationwide, landing them a spot on the Canadian Billboard Top 200. This was a huge accomplishment for the group since their original formation in 2003. The band then set off on an independently booked coast to coast Canadian headlining tour that following summer, playing as many cities as they could.

A growing interest in the band's live performance has landed them spots sharing the stage with acts such as: Silverstein, Protest The Hero, Misery Signals, Cancer Bats, August Burns Red, Bleeding Through, Hopesfall, Bless the Fall, Darkest Hour, The Spill Canvas, Ill Scarlett, and Moneen.

In the fall of 2006, the band took time off touring to begin work on their upcoming full length. They were young, they were in love. Post Apocalyptic? Sure. But it was something they were working on, along with locking themselves in their jamspace for hours on end, they initiated the writing process, creating and fine tuning new tracks for their second album. Following their writing stint, Dead and Divine set out on several more self-booked headlining tours including a winter tour throughout Ontario during the month of January, a February-March east coast tour, and two more full Canadian tours spanning from April to August of 2007. Finally taking some time off, the band spent 5 days at Drive Studios with producer Steve Rizun, completing pre-production for six songs on their upcoming full-length.

They spent most of December recording their Rise Records debut at Interlace Studios with producer Kris Krummet and have since completed all tracking for the album. The album is due out March 18th on Rise/Verona Records.

The band recently shot their music video for their single "Like Wolves", off their new record "The Fanciful" with director Ben Knechtel - www.motionformusic.com (Hawk Nelson, Seconds To Go, Thousand Foot Krutch).
