DARK DIVINE Unchains New Single "Better Start Digging"

Orlando’s Dark Divine is serving up a brutally honest take on their latest single "Better Start Digging," out today, July 18th, via Thriller Records. Complete with a visualizer, the new track cuts straight to the bone of modern success culture, exposing toxic ambition and moral compromises that define the “win at all costs” mentality.

“Better Start Digging is a song that describes the shallow mentality of those willing to “do anything to make it,” Dark Divine mentions. “Success at the expense of destroying the person you once were is an all-too-common occurrence in certain industries and is almost fetishized by those who want to experience what they perceive as “the good life.”

What makes "Better Start Digging" particularly striking is how it captures the steady decay of identity that comes with chasing hollow promises. The song explores how the pursuit of external validation becomes a psychological trap, where each moral compromise makes the next one feel inevitable. Dark Divine turns a sharp focus on the toxic culture that weaponizes ambition, creating environments where selling out is the expected path to success. Diving into the psychology of those trapped in these cycles, the band delivers an unflinching look at how society has normalized sacrificing your authentic self for perceived achievement. Operating as both a cautionary tale and mirror, the track forces listeners to confront their own relationship with ambition and ask where they draw the line between a healthy drive and destructive obsession.
