Wellington rock band This Silent Divide today released their new single ‘In This World’ which Flax-Trax labelled “an absolute belter of a track, destined to peel your skin back from your face”.

This Silent Divide mix driving drums, wall-of-sound guitars and melodic overtones to create catchy, high-energy songs. 2023 singles ‘Outside‘, ‘Beautiful Creature‘ and ‘Morning‘ received positive reviews and radio play in New Zealand, the US & UK.

New track ‘In This World’ explores the themes of apathy and ‘going through the motions’ in life. “[It] grabs you straight away with its snarly, almost embittered power chord-influenced intro riff. It’s the deep, precisely executed performance I have learned to expect from this band…putting me in mind of early Shihad or Weta”, notes Flash-Trax.

Recorded at Wellington’s Surgery Studios, with producer Toby Lloyd from Tiny Triumph Recordings at the helm, ‘In This World’ was mastered in Germany by Robin Schmidt (The Hives, Royal Blood, Arctic Monkeys).

The band are celebrating the release of the new single with gigs across the North Island over the coming months. First stop is Hamilton’s Last Place on Friday 8 March (with support from Achilles Complex and Tusk), followed by Auckland’s Ding Dong Lounge on Saturday 9 March (with support from Lost Vessels and Gravity Road). Tickets are available from Under The Radar.

“We’re excited to get back out on the road and play these tunes live and loud for fans across the country” says vocalist and guitarist Shaun Jones.
