Conquer Divide release new song ‘Atonement’

CONQUER DIVIDE have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Atonement, is the brand new single from the melodic metalcore quintet and comes as they sign with Mascot Records.

Speaking about the new single, drummer Sam Landa says, “the word atonement is about making reparations; about seeking forgiveness; about feeling sorry for something you’ve done and hoping to make things right. In the context of this song, it’s too late for that – the damage has already been done and there’s no going back. The song tries to capture the feelings of betrayal, of being left high and dry by people who wanted to take the easy way out. The emotions really explode in the breakdown, and the progression mirrors how situations like this can build up in real life. There’s a kind of calm before the storm, and then another sense of calm after. ‘We don’t know who you are’, and we’ve accepted that – just don’t try to come back and beg for forgiveness when you’ve exhausted all of your chances.”

Vocalist Kia Castillo adds, “touring is hard for a lot of people, and between all the other hardships and straight up bullshit we’ve been through as a band, it can sometimes be easier to give up rather than stick it out together. This is actually really common in all music groups, because a lot of times people join for the wrong reasons. We have weathered amazing storms as a group, and become best friends in the process; we are all really proud of how far we’ve come now that the fairweather friends are gone. So, this song goes out to anyone who thinks this life is all fun and games, because at the end of the day it’s actually one of the hardest jobs we’ve ever had.”
