A discussion was held about their new album Viscera Reaction and they allowed us to play both Viscera Reaction and Pay to Play on the monthly radio show.

What’s their favorite pizza toppings? If they were to get invited to do Woodstock 3, what 3 songs do they play and whose autographs wouldd they seek to get? Pitt or Penn State? Bacon or vegan? Band Biography: Divine Tragedy is a Heavy Metal band spawning from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Their music is the culmination of four talented individuals which is both beautiful and terrible all in one. With Chris Pekor’s speed and skill on Drums it sounds like a locomotive rumbling over your skull. Dustin McKee pounds his bass riffs like a Jack hammer into your chest. Justin Calligaro will shred your face off, when not engaged with Krist in the signature Divine Tragedy dual lead guitar attack. The icing on the cake is Krist McKee’s passionate, melodic vocals. His extreme range is remincent of Rob Halford to Jim Morrison to Kurt Cobain. Divine Tragedy will reminds us of what metal used to be, as well as taking the listener somewhere new.
