WRITTEN IN BLOOD To Release 'We Are Divinity' EP Next Month

February 19, 2011

Florida-based metallers WRITTEN IN BLOOD will release their debut EP, "We Are Divinity", on March 15 via Revenge Recordings. The effort was recorded, produced and mixed at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida with Mark Lewis (TRIVIUM, DEICIDE, ALL THAT REMAINS, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER),with additional recording, producing and mixing done at The Basement Recordings NC in Winston-Salem, North Carolina with Jamie King. The drums on the EP were laid down by Kevin Talley, who has played with everyone from DYING FETUS and CHIMAIRA to HATE ETERNAL and DEVILDRIVER throughout his prolific career.

Two songs from "We Are Divinity" — "This Purpose Driven Life" and "In This Fire" — can be streamed in the ReverbNation TuneWidget below. Also available is the video for "This Purpose Driven Life", which was filmed in Charlotte, North Carolina with director Ramon Boutviseth (DREAM THEATER, BO BICE, TRIVIUM, INCUBUS).

"This Purpose Driven Life" serves as a platform where singer J.D Blood speaks to himself about following something that often seems unattainable: a dream. He says, "I tell myself no matter what happens in life, you can always believe that things will get better if you work hard to achieve your goals." This comes from the difficult things he went through while growing up. He continues, "This song is about growing up in a broken home or growing up having nothing, trying your best to believe in the most unimaginable thing: a dream. It is pretty much about me and every other kid out there who had a struggle growing up and the road to success or road to conquering depression. It is just my message to myself and every kid that with a little pain, heartbreak, blood, sweat and tears, dreams can be achieved. If I can conquer the past of a depressing childhood, anyone can." The vocalist claims that if it weren't for metal, he may never have conquered these vicious demons, but he did and he wants to give back. "I just want to give kids some music that will make them believe in themselves and show them with hard work you can conquer anything," the singer says.
