Conquer Divide have just revealed their latest single, “Bad Dreams” featuring Michigan metalcore heroes Of Virtue. The single drops ahead of their U.K. and European tour dates with New Years Day from 21 January – 1 February and then with Ankor from 7 February to 16 March. You can get tickets here.
The song combines Conquer Divide’s ability to mix luscious and captivating vocals and hooks with their crushing intensity, both musically and lyrically, on this introspective slab of inner turmoil, which is complemented by Of Virtue’s vocalists Tyler Ennis and Damon Tate’s melodic turned raging contributions.
Talking about the personal tones of the song, guitarist Izzy Johnson says, “We are stoked to bring the next era of Conquer Divide with our new song “Bad Dreams ft Of Virtue”. Lyrically it touches on the feeling of wanting nothing more than to succeed but being sabotaged by your own thoughts. Analysis paralysis is real and creates cycles that sometimes feel unbreakable, something that we have all individually experienced. Just like our other songs Paralyzed, Pressure and N E W H E A V E N (that also have introspective themes), we hope this song is something our listeners can relate to and find comfort in. Big thanks to the guys in Of Virtue who made the song come alive, we are blessed to create music alongside such talent.”
Of Virtue’s Tyler Ennis adds, “I’ve been a fan of Conquer Divide ever since I heard Messy. It’s an absolute honour being asked to bring both our bands together on their newest single and we’re excited for it to finally be released!”
