Dino Cazares has shared that Lauren Hart of Once Human is the new singer of Divine Heresy. He will soon start writing music with her for a future release. Dino will play all guitars and bass, and is actively seeking a drummer, and members for gigs. He will not work with any former members of the band. Apparently the new activity with DH will not interfere with Dino’s future plans with his other bands such as Fear Factory. We’re looking forward to this.
