Artist Biography
A vehicle for the dark, mercurial songwriting of Chris D. (aka Chris Desjardins), Divine Horsemen earned a cult following for their raw but accomplished blend of punk, roots rock, and blues, with the melodies as carefully crafted as the film noir sensibilities of the lyrics. Divine Horsemen were also notable for the vocal blend of Chris D. and Julie Christensen, and the sweet yet aggressive tone of her voice was a striking contrast with D.'s rougher, less forgiving instrument. The band made an impressive debut on 1984's Time Stands Still, their combustible approach reached its peak on 1986's Devil's River, and they returned in 2021 with a strong, uncompromising reunion effort, Hot Rise of an Ice Cream Phoenix.
