Divine heresy bringer of plagues full album

On June 3, 2009, two new songs from the album titled "Undivine Prophecies" and "Facebreaker" were posted on the band's MySpace page.

It sold around 3,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 148 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Critical reception

According to Kerrang!, the album sees Dino Cazares "honing his partnership with ex-Nile sticksman Tim Yeung to the point of thunderous, jaw-dropping intensity and roping in the vocal talents of alarmingly diverse newcomer Travis Neal." Still, "there's little new ground broken here and attempted slow/heavy dynamics are often poorly executed, leaving the feeling that although accomplished, this is metal on demand rather than any kind of real statement of the heart," warns reviewer Sam Low, giving it the 3/5 rating.
