Band information

Sydney band combining dark, blackened doom and death metal, incorporating swirling melodies and timely injections of keys with crushing riffs and an awesome vocal presence. The group recorded a demo in 1998 as a four piece before Owen Richards of Across the Scarlet Moat joined as a second guitarist.

Natalie Meisenhelter from Rok's solo band joined Decayed Divinity as replacement for Richards, who quit just before an interstate tour, but her stay was short. Early in 2001 Lee Tassaker from Lycanthia joined the band on bass, leaving Vickery as specialist vocalist. By late in 2001 Marsh, Creed and Halford had all left and Decayed Divinity’s style had shifted into Swedish melodic death metal territory with the addition of Prickett and Habib from Elysium and Chad from Grenade. A full length album was to be released through Venomous Records but the label collapsed; Vickey and Prickett formed Bludgeoner in 2002 and Decayed Divinity is no more.
