Though they were only founded in 1999, Finland's
Divine Decay worship at the altar of '80s Bay Area thrash -- particularly crunch-meisters
Testament. Both of their albums, 2001's
Songs of the Damned and 2003's Maximize the Misery, were released by French label Osmose, and feature vocalist Alec Hirst-Gee, guitarists Paul Pale (also of
Hecate Enthroned) and Timo Nyberg (second album only, also of Gandalf), bassist Toni Grönros (of
Am I Blood), and drummer Juhuna Rantala (
H.I.M.). ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
