There's a new force in the world of extreme Christian metal, ready to challenge both believers and doubters. Divine Incision, a band whose name evokes images of righteous wrath and surgical precision, released their new single "Wormwood" on Friday, October 4. The track is a blistering mix of death metal and deathcore, pushing the boundaries of faith-driven metal with a sound that is both destructive and divine.
"Wormwood" draws inspiration from the Book of Revelation, specifically Revelation 8:10-11: "A great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky... The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter." It's a stark reminder of apocalyptic prophecy, blending brutal drums with punishing breakdowns. The song doesn't merely dwell on the chaos of the end times; instead, it echoes a deeper theological confrontation. Listeners can expect a sonic assault as the band tackles themes of judgment and cosmic justice, with a powerful wall of sound that teeters between fury and resolve.
Divine Incision has crafted a sound that nods to the genre's pioneers but refuses to stay tethered to convention. There's an experimental edge woven into their music that draws equally from deathcore's guttural heaviness and death metal's surgical precision. According to the band's Spotify page, the project hails from Florida.
With the release of "Wormwood" and an as-yet-untitled debut album releasing in November 2024, Divine Incision is poised to make a significant impact on both the Christian metal scene and the wider extreme music world. Their unique blend of themes—both sacred and brutal—alongside a relentless sound, is sure to carve out a distinct space for them in the metal landscape.
One thing is certain: Divine Incision is a project on the cusp of something powerful, and "Wormwood" is just the beginning. The band is currently unsigned and shopping for a label. For more information or to reach the band, contact
