"Divine Ascension has remembered what it's like being powerÂprog similar to the way bands have done 10 years ago." Steve
With their second album, Liberator (ViciSolum Productions), receiving worldwide acclaim hailed as "...the Prog/Power release to beat for 2014" by Metal Crypt and "...an album you simply have to own" by Metal As Fuck, Divine Ascension is embarking on a national headlining tour throughout Australia. Totalling seven epic shows across the country, the Liberating Australia Tour will kick off on April 11 and feature many of Australia's premiere metal acts.
Divine Ascension played alongside symphonic metal masters Kamelot during their first Australian tour in 2013 and will be the main support for German power metal legends, Blind Guardian, for their entire 'Beyond The Red Mirror' Australian Tour in 2015. DA have also shared the stage with countless other local metal heavyweights over the past eight years.
To launch their first national tour, Divine Ascension have now released their highly anticipated 'Liberator' film clip. Filmed over three days with director Michael Pace of Pace Audio at the helm, the band decided to push music video medium introducing special effects, actors and an ominous undercurrent that permeates through the central story line.
All of these elements work to further amplify the music which can only be described as exhilarating and captivating. It has erroneously been suggested that the metal scene is dying in Australia. It's not dead!it's been filming!
