They have also shared a new track, and it is a vital belter. It’s “welcome2paradise” and is hard rock, metalcore and pure pop-rock wrapped all up together into a beautiful little package. Silky smooth one minute, gritty and gripping the next, it’s a brilliant example of the highs and lows that Conquer Divide are able to reach. Oh, and the breakdown is going to get the pits spinning in no time.
Guitarist Kristen Sturgis had this to say about it:
“This song is special to all of us for a lot of reasons. We really wanted to stretch our musical muscles and play around with time signatures. We recorded some of the production ourselves, including drilling sounds you’ll hear sprinkled throughout the song. Artistically, we really stepped out of our comfort zone and we ended up with something really special.”
