Divine Horsemen were a punk/roots band founded in 1983 by
Chris D. (Desjardins), formerly of L.A.
punk rock band
The Flesh Eaters. The band developed a distinctive (and at the time, very new)
alt country- type sound. They took their name from a
voodoo term; a worshiper who is possessed by
loa during a ceremony is said to be being ridden by
The Divine Horsemen. The term was also used as a song title by
The Flesh Eaters
