Ontario metal/hardcore band Dead and Divine is currently preparing to record their next album, titled "The Machines We Are." The effort will be produced by Garth "GGGarth" Richardson (Rage Against the Machine) and Eric Ratz (Cancer Bats) and is expected to hit streets this summer via Distort Entertainment.

The group comments: "I'm really excited for everybody to hear what we're working on, it's heavier than anything we've written and it's more melodic and lovely than anything we've written. Hopefully you're all as stoked as I am to get it out there... [Richardson and Ratz] are both great at what they do and we couldn't be more excited to be working with - not one - but two outstanding record producers. We're huge fans of the records they've helped create and we don't have a doubt in our mind that this album will sound great."
