Divine Heresy is a Los Angeles-based technical death/groove metal band formed in 2006 by guitarist Dino Cazares, a co-founder of Fear Factory. The band's debut album Bleed the Fifth (2007) sold nearly 3,000 copies in its first week and showcased Cazares's mechanized riffing alongside vocalist Travis Neal and drummer Tim Yeung of Vital Remains. A second album, Bringer of Plagues, followed in 2009 via Century Media, co-produced by Logan Mader.

Denver's Divine Torture arrived in 2021 with a brutal death metal mandate, contributing to the Colorado capital's increasingly active extreme underground.
