Divine Empire was formed in late "97" by Jason Blachowicz, J.P. Soars & Derik Roddy, the trio played together on Malevolent Creation's sixth cd "In Cold
Blood", Jason is Malevolent's original "Thunderous" bass player performing on their first six albums during a ten year career with the band ("The Ten
Commandments" through "In Cold Blood, performing all vocals on "Eternal" "Joe Black" & "In Cold Blood") so yes there is definitely Malevolent blood in
this band. The trio quit Malevolent on different occasions due to personal reasons, they connected well when they jammed together & weren't doing
anything at the time, so the three of them stayed in contact with one another, then decided to reform & record a seven song demo achieving interest
from many labels, signing with "Olympic Recordings" distributed through Mercury & resulting in their first album "Redemption" released in "98", which did
very well & landed them on two successful major U.S.Tours, one with Cryptopsy, Gorguts & Vader, the other with Witchery, Borknagar & the almighty
"Emperor"! After the second tour, Jason & J.P. parted ways with Derik Roddy due to personal reasons. « hide |
