Conquer Divide Releases New Version Of 'Paralyzed' With Attack! Attack!

Metalcore Friday!

So this was a surprise! My beloved Conquer Divide partnered up with my faves Attack! Attack@ to do a new version of "Paralyzed" from the album Slow Burn.

The new version adds Christopher Parketny's vocals and makes for an interesting version of the song. "Paralyzed" was already on my running playlist. I'm going to swap the original out for this version for a new punch.

Bring Back Glam! Favorite Albums Of 2023

Now that 2023 is officially over and behind us, I wanted to share some of my favorite releases of the past year.

These are in no particular order – just stuff I really enjoyed and kept coming back to, time after time. An asterisk means I bought the vinyl version, too!   

  • Conquer Divide, Slow Burn*
  • Dirty Honey, Can’t Find The Brakes
  • Beartooth, The Surface
  • I See Stars, D4MAGE DONE
  • Stray View (Dave Escamilla new project), “What’s Done Is Done” (just a song but I hope the future album is just as good!)
  • Asking Alexandria, Where Do We Go From Here?
  • Steel Panther, On The Prowl
  • Attack Attack! Dark Waves*
  • Winger, Seven
  • Def Leppard with the Royal Philharmonic, Drastic Symphonies *
  • Falling In Reverse, Neon Zombie (well, really the track “Watch The World Burn”)
  • The Rolling Stones, Hackney Diamonds

The video for "Watch The World Burn" has to be the best music clip of the year, by far:

'Santa Tell Me' - Conquer Divide

Merry Christmas-eve to those who celebrate! It's time to share Conquer Divide's cover of "Santa Tell Me." The song was originally recorded by Ariana Grande. I don't follow her work, so I honestly don't know what that version sounds like, but I do enjoy this Conquer Divide cover.

Conquer Divide is criminally underrated and definitely one of my favorite bands these days!

Vote For The Best Metal Album Of The Year

Louder Sound / Metal Hammer is asking for fan votes to decide the best metal album of 2023. Personally, I'm voting for Conquer Divide and their effort Slow Burn. I feel like Metallica with 72 Seasons will win all these sorts of polls and posts, though.

Conquer Divide Release 'Slow Burn'

It is finally here! Conquer Divide's newest full-length album Slow Burn is officially out today. I pre-ordered the vinyl like six months ago and it is due on my doorstep sometime tonight. I already downloaded the full album to my phone and have done a complete listen-through with a couple more planned for later during workout time.

Drum Playthrough: 'welcome2paradise'

It's time for another Conquer Divide drum playthrough. I love watching these clips - and you might recall I shared Sam's (Samantha Landa) playthrough for the band's song "Atonement" a few months back. Well, her work on "welcome2paradise" is just as epic. She's a badass! In another life, I'll learn to play just like her.

Conquer Divide --'welcome2paradise,' New Song 

The last seven days, some of my most favorite bands like I See Stars, Asking Alexandria and Conquer Divide have all released new music. For I See Stars, the two new songs are the first original content from the band in seven years!

Today we will look at the new Conquer Divide track "welcome2paradise" from the upcoming album Slow Burn.

To say I'm excited for Slow Burn is an understatement. "welcome2paradise" is giving me everything, including great cleans, harmonies, screams, solo bits and so much more. The song and video are an in-your-face warning about the warming earth and how we don't have much time left to stop climate change (if we even can at this point).

I hope Slow Burn helps Conquer Divide take off. They deserve it. You can pre-order Slow Burn now. It comes out September 8.
