"AS THE TRUTH APPEARS" OUT NOW ON NIGHTMARE
RECORDS
|
DIVINE ASCENSION recently released their debut
album, "As the Truth Appears" on Nightmare Records. The band also
filmed a video for the single "Answers" which can be viewed HERE.
Drummer LukeWenczel spoke about the making of the
video:
"For many of us, the "Answers" film clip
shoot was our first film clip experience. It was all filmed in one day, which
translates to arriving at 7am and leaving at 11pm. We wanted our first clip
to give our fans a chance to see who we were and I believe we accomplished
that. It was a really fun day for us. We had to work hard throughout, but in
between shooting, the shenanigans were aplenty!
"Answers" was filmed at a primary school in
Melbourne's outer eastern suburbs on a Sunday. Jennifer was able to secure
the venue by offering to run a school disco for the students later in the
year through her children's entertainment business.
We were told by a school representative to make sure we
locked the doors as they get a lot of families and kids using the school
grounds and play equipment on weekends, much like a park, and that they might
be tempted to venture in to see what was happening. So, there we are,
blackout for lights, lockout for visitors, in a primary school indoor
amphitheatre hammering out Answers take after take. The PA wasn't loud enough
so we cranked it even louder. We were all in our stage gear, black, and we
had a makeup artist come along to ensure our faces weren't washed out on
camera. Simon (bass) and Karl (guitar) opted for heavy eyeliner to look
more...I don't know, and repeatedly asked if we thought it was too much! At
lunch we thought it was an opportune time to get some band photos, as we
hadn't had any shots done since Simon joined. We all bunched up in front of
the lights and got a few indoor shots and then someone mentioned we should go
out onto the play equipment. So we did. Well, the families and kids and
grandparents enjoying the sun warmed winter's day that were there before were
nowhere to be seen upon the completion of our outdoor photo shoot. In our
full film clip attire, we climbed, perched, hung, swung, straddled and slid
from every piece of child playground apparatus as we could, all in the name
of capturing that 'Kodak moment!'"
DIVINE ASCENSION are sure to delight legions of
symphonic, progressive metal and female-fronted band fans alike with their
debut, "As The Truth Appears". Both lyrically and musically, their
primordial good and evil theme works extremely well with Jennifer's
powerfully resplendent and virtuous tone.
Backing the theatrical trained Borg are five men of drive and spirit. The sheer energy that is produced during a DIVINE ASCENSION set has caught many and left them stunned.
Four years from the demo recording and a 'baptism of fire'
touring the local Australian metal scene, D.A. have now recorded and mixed
their full-length debut album, "As The Truth Appears". Ermin
Hamidovic of Systematic Productions was at the helm throughout recording and mixing
the album, and Sweden's own Plec from Panic-Room Mastering (Scar Symmetry)
was commissioned and has put the finishing masterful touches on this long
awaited release.
