Divided

Divided is a Belgian four-piece band that brings a refreshing combination of sludgy riffs, a post-metal vibe and snarling vocals. After releasing Riser, the band’s debut EP, Divided started to claim attention in the Belgian scene. This resulted in playing with bands like Brutus, Stake, Psychonaut, Wiegedood,… and even going on tour throughout Europe supporting American post-metal outfit Shy,Low. After a year of writing, rehearsing and recording, Divided is ready for you to meet Light Will Shine, which is the title of the first full length release from these Belgian youngsters. Adding humanness and eeriness into their mix of post-metal, shoegaze and hardcore, Light Will Shine turned out to be a dark and filthy sounding record that hits you in the chest from the start. The band worked together with Gilles Demolder (Siem Reap, Wiegedood, Oathbreaker) and mixing engineer Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Oathbreaker, Gouge Away, …) to create the natural yet vicious sounding album they wanted to make. Their hard work resulted in excellent reviews in magazines such as New Noise (US) and Metal Hammer (UK). Meanwhile, the band has been presenting the album extensively live. This has already led them to the biggest clubs in their home country Belgium, which only makes sense, since the powerful songs of Light Will Shine may become even more powerful live. One of their many shows even convinced Peter Mulders of Brutus to declare them his favourite Belgian band of 2024. Don't miss them out!
