Even if he had retired from public life to raise goats in North Dakota, guitarist
Dino Cazares' heavy metal legacy would have been indefinitely perpetuated thanks to his groundbreaking work in the 1990s with
Fear Factory, one of the first bands that successfully soldered industrial elements to metal, while introducing the synchronized use of both gruesomely growled vocals and melodic singing that became so popular in the 2000s. All the while,
Cazares was of course simultaneously involved with the controversial Latino death metal crew
Brujeria and, later, their stillborn offshoot,
Asesino, but after laying relatively low for several years, the guitarist would embark on his first significant post-
Fear Factory project via a brand new band named
Divine Heresy. Teaming up with vocalist
Tommy "Vext" Cummings, bassist
Joe Payne (ex-
Nile, who replaced early member Risha Eryavec), and drummer
Tim Yeung (ex-
Vital Remains,
Hate Eternal,
All That Remains, etc.),
Cazares released
Divine Heresy's debut album,
Bleed the Fifth, in 2007. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
