Review By Darren McIntyre
Conquer Divide are a metalcore / post – hardcore / alt rock / hard rock band originally from Michigan and formed in 2013, they have members from the USA, UK & Canada. The band like most have gone through some changes in personnel but this has not let their appetite to bring us the very best in music with albums Conquer Divide in 2015 and followed that with Slow Burn in 2023, in making these records this has allowed them to play many of the biggest festivals around and enabled them to support some of the biggest names on the post – hardcore / alt metal circuit. Along with the albums the band has given us 1 EP
& a slew of singles, to that end the band are back with a new single Bad Dreams Ft Of Virtue. please settle in as I walk us through this awesome new offering.
Bad Dreams – The track kicks off with a real fuzzy, gritty guitar riff that welcomes a dark, oozing bassline that kicks in the doors as this foot stomer erupts into life. The growler vocals break through and the track ripples through and really gives us a feeling of something special from this multi talented outfit as the track builds and builds with ease as the whole arrangement just wraps itself around you. The intro of the sampler tones and the rasping vocals fro Of Virtue really give the track some swagger that just lets us feel the energy pulsing through the mid section as we just go with the groove, the track changes pace a little through the composition and it just catches us off guard as the sweet, soulful vocals are taking the track in a different direction as we just get on board with the band as they pull out all the stops and hit us with everything they have as this fist pumping, foot stomping beast leave’s it’s mark upon us as we reach for the repeat button to bring this growling monster to life once again.
