Conquer Divide and Mascot Records have announced the release of a new digital deluxe version of SLOW BURN this week, alongside a new visualizer for “80 Proof” which captures a tender and emotional solo performance of Kia Taylor on an acoustic guitar. You can watch the video HERE.
Talking about “80 Proof”, Kia says; “I wrote 80 Proof during a time in my life that was complicated and hard. Although it is a deeply personal song, I hope that listeners can connect with it, and even feel a sense of healing similar to what I experienced when writing it.”
The announcement coincides with two recordings that are having wide success at the US Active Rock format. First, a new version of the band’s hit “Paralyzed” (featuring Attack Attack!); and a new 10 Years re-release of their hit “The Optimist” which features Conquer Divide’s Kia. 10 Years and Conquer Divide will stage a US tour together this Fall from October 11 through the 26th.
This past year, the band staged a run of performances as direct support for The Warning across the U.K. and Europe. In January 2025, Conquer Divide will return to Europe and the UK for a tour with New Years Day between the 21st of January and the 1st of February. Right after, the band will appear with Ankor starting on February 7 in Cologne, and will call through Germany, The Netherlands, UK, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Latvia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and will finish on March 16 in Kortrijk, Belgium.
Conquer Divide’s Kia Taylor shares, “We are so excited to be returning to Europe in 2025! When we toured with The Warning last spring it was our first time touring outside of the U.S. as a band, and we had so much fun meeting new people and exploring new cities. We are looking forward to meeting even more people and making new fans in cities and countries we’ve never been to before! This will be the longest amount of consecutive touring dates we’ve ever done together, and we are excited and hopeful!”. Tickets are available here.
The Deluxe Edition of Slow Burn digitally presents an additional six recordings. Three of these are from Sirius XM Octane’s Next Wave Concert Series, which are “Bad Guy,” “Atonement,” and “Paralyzed.” Alongside “Paralyzed (Featuring “Attack Attack!),” “Only Girl” (Acoustic), and “80 Proof.”
The band hailing from the U.S., U.K. and Canada have made a steady progression from their melodic metalcore inspired roots, maturing into a formidable hard rock act, nearing the end of their first decade together. In 2020, they returned to the studio with 2x Grammy nominated producer Tyler Smyth (Falling in Reverse, I Prevail) and 4x RIAA certified gold record producer Joey Sturgis (Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, Of Mice & Men) and began recording of SLOW BURN.
SLOW BURN picked up multiple playlisting including All New Metal, Rock Hard, The Core, Heavy Queens, Kickass Metal, New Nu and more. They picked up multiple BBC Radio 1 plays alongside playlisting at Kerrang! Radio, Kerrang! TV and Primordial Radio. “Paralyzed” was one of the Metal Hammer tracks of the year with the album also being amongst the ‘Albums of the Year.’ They’ve picked up support from Rock Sound, Distorted Sound, Alternative Press, Revolver, GuitarWorld, SXM Octane, Loudwire and more. The album has now exceeded 34 Million cumulative streams.
The all-female lineup of Kiarely Taylor (vocals), Kristen Sturgis (guitar), Izzy Johnson (guitar) and Sam Landa (drums) have seen an emerging global fan base emanating from their power as a band.
