DIVINE EVE (USA/TX)
Divine Eve was formed on a bleak, late winter day in February 1992 by Michael A.
Sleavin (rhythm guitar & vocals) and Matthew Killen, (drums & backing vocals)
both of whom were in a band called Catharsis. They were soon joined by Xan
Hammack (lead guitar & vocals) and Tyson Lueck (bass & backing vocals) and were
preparing for their debut recording, “The Last of the Sunset Faded,” in October
1992. Just before the studio sessions took place, Tyson quit the band and all
bass tracks were recorded by Hammack. Tyson rejoined the fold six months later
in May 1993 and remained a full-time member until their disintegration nearly
two years later. 500 cassette copies of “The Last of the Sunset Faded” sold
rapidly and by November 1993, Divine Eve was instantly signed to Nuclear Blast
Records for Europe and Nuclear Blast America (Relapse) for the US. In August
1994, the bands toured the West Coast and Mexico supporting their two releases
and were preparing songs for their first album. By April 1995, the conflictions
amongst the members of Divine Eve were so hostile, they disbanded immediately.
Hammack instantly relocated to California and recorded the debut Divine Eve
album under a new banner calling it Crimson Relic. Sleavin and Killen went on to
form Infernal Oak in 1995.
