Dark Divine shares new song ‘Burn the Witch’

Hard rock band Dark Divine has shared the heavy new track “Burn the Witch” via Thriller Records. This is the band’s first release since its debut full-length, “Deadly Fun,” produced by Zach Jones (Chelsea Grin, We Came as Romans, Fit for a King), was released in September 2023.

“‘Burn the Witch, is a song about the realization that sometimes toxicity has a lasting affect on one’s personality,” vocalist Anthony Martinez said. “Even though we may separate from toxicity, it doesn’t mean that it hadn’t turned us into the very thing that we tried to separate from. Sometimes we turn into the very evil that we are defending ourselves from in order to defend ourselves from said evil.”

“Deadly Fun” plays with themes of the fear of different types of death from emotional, spiritual and literal. Dark Divine explores anxious feelings throughout worry and doubt while creating graveyard storylines laced in the mystery of a freak-show funhouse.

“Each song has its own message but the whole album is based on different individuals’ fear of literal, spiritual or emotional death,” Martinez said. “It explores what it’s like going through daily life and never knowing what’s around the corner, down a hallway, or in the basement. Like walking through a mystery funhouse or a creepy carnival. It’s fun but also terrifying at times. Without that fear, everything would be taken for granted.”
