Diocletian, to nowozelandzka kapela parająca się war metalem. O ile namnożyło się ostatnimi laty dość sporo przeróżnych klonów Blasphemy, o tyle Diocletian w swojej niszy gatunkowej tworzy dość oryginalne brzmienia, pełne ciężkich zwolnień. Dla mnie osobiście to jedna z najlepszych kapel w całym tym war metalowym poletku. Warto też zwrócić uwagę, że w przeciwieństwie do wielu innych zespołów można tutaj usłyszeć wszystkie instrumenty i nie trzeba w tym celu wytężać ucha.
