Artist description the DiVinE... the poster boy's of alt.sex.fetish... the "Barbie doll's" of the underground industrial goth world... armed with crunching guitars, pounding drums loops, melodic vocals, sinful synths, complete with their own make-up case and extensive wardrobe... these bitches have everything... the DiVinE bring the glamour, glitz, and showmanship back to the forefront... setting their standards high...tired of seeing the same brand of baggy pants, boring stage shows and senseless lyrics that have become the norm in the rock/rap/punk hybrid world of modern alternative music, the DiVinE strive to break that mold... confession is open... share your sins with the gods lust, greed, sex and death, and experience a pleasure that is DiVinE
