Slow Burn

Description

THE NEW METAL SENSATION, with striking and unstoppable melodies! But who are CONQUER DIVIDE? They are 5, hailing from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. CONQUER DIVIDE is therefore an "international" group composed of singer Kiarely Taylor, bassist/singer Janel Duarte, guitarist Isabel Johnson, drummer Samantha Landa, and guitarist Kristen Sturgis. Released in 2015, their first album generated over 30 million streams. Their song "At War" was nominated for the Kerrang! Awards. Some time later, in 2020, "Chemicals" was described by Alternative Press as a "candidate for best crossover hard rock/metalcore track of the year." A year later, "Messy" topped the charts as the most played track on the Billboard Hard Rock charts. Described by Rock Sound as a "monstrous" track "destined to be played in stadiums," "Paralyzed" was released as the group signed with the label Mascot Records. A song charged with emotions inspired by the harrowing experiences of guitarist Kristen Sturgis, who, as a nurse, lived through the pandemic up close... No wonder "Paralyzed" was nominated by Metal Hammer among the best "metal" songs of 2022. That same year, the Germans from Electric Callboy invited them to join on "FUCKBOI," a duet already streamed over 13 million times on Spotify alone. But it is with "Slow Burn" that things get serious for CONQUER DIVIDE! Thanks to a sound of absolutely breathtaking power and refinement, with lyrics as intense as they are personal, this album represents the near-perfect balance between striking modern metal and irresistible melodies. And if "Slow Burn" feeds on the confessions, vulnerabilities, and frustrations of its creators, it also conveys a message of hope, each song becoming a liberating outlet as necessary for those who listen as for those who created them...
