The Blood Divine were a massively underrated band

[Victor Meldrew]

I still play Awaken and Mystica quite often. I can't understand why this band didn't cause more of a stir, especially as they seemed primed to go on to even better things. Still, their official website is still active after 7 years or whatnot, so SOMEone evidently still cares about them.
Ben Ryan is one of the few keyboardists in heavy rock who's not only competent but even adds something to the music. Wonder what he's up to these days.
We know, of course, what Mr. Allender is doing...

as far as I know the first album sold quite well so I wouldn't say they were underrated

 

[french_anatheman]

Let's say they've been forgotten by most of the metalheads today no?

 

[Loona]

its like I haven't heard a single tune of them, though I wanted to... but here it's kinda hopeless to get their albums, er, it's my experience of those time when I searched for something from them.

 

[Bambi]

i dunno they seemed to wads of cash put into em at the time. im listening to acrimony right now, id say they were underrated

 

[Victor Meldrew]

Yes indeed. I listen to Acrimony's Hymns to the Stone on a daily basis.
Mead's new band the 9ine ain't so bad either.

 

[Bambi]

havent heard them, thought they were all off djing now, which is a good thing too

I saw them opening for MDB in Paris 96. Twas nice, Darren is a frontman.

[breaklose]

i was into the blood divine before i heard of anathema actually. i realised years later the two bands were related like. me and me mates were really into the first album back then when it was released, but the second one was a bit of a disappointment

The French spelling is Arnaud. Call me Rano if you wish but not Arno like this pathetic drunkard Belgian so-called 'singer'.
