Divinity is a Canadian heavy metal band from Calgary, Alberta. They are currently unsigned to any major labels but have been signed in the past to Nuclear Blast and Candlelight. Formed in late 1997 by Sean Jenkins and James Duncan,[1] the band name came from a lyric from the song Domination by Pantera - "A now blacked heart is reaching out in divinity."
