Reigniting NZ Rock? This Silent Divide find their spark with 'The Fire EP'
There is a point in every band’s journey where the spark catches. Wellington’s This Silent Divide are focused, ferocious, and more emotionally charged than ever before with their latest release The Fire EP.
Built around driving drums, towering guitars, and Shaun Jones’ commanding vocals, the EP delivers an intense energy. The band’s chemistry feels locked in—every riff lands with purpose, every chorus surges with momentum.
Lyrically, The Fire EP burns through themes of control, compulsion, and the will to endure. Each song circles around moments that could ignite at any second. There is a sense of teetering between collapse and breakthrough, which mirrors the tension that runs through the music itself. This balance of melody and menace gives the record its edge.
Produced by Toby Lloyd at Tiny Triumph Recordings and mastered by Robin Schmidt, the sound is bold and clean without losing grit. The result is modern hard rock that hits hard yet leaves space for emotion.
If Tall Stories introduced This Silent Divide as a band with promise, The Fire EP confirms they have arrived. Their sound belongs on festival stages, in small clubs filled with sweat and noise, in headphones turned loud enough to drown everything else out.
