Conquer Divide 2025 UK Tours, Deluxe Edition of Album & New Video

A new digital deluxe version of Slow Burn by all-female band Conquer Divide is now set for release via Mascot Records. Alongside this album news come the release of a new video and UK tour date announcements.

The video is of the band track ‘80 Proof’, capturing a tender and emotional solo performance by Kia Taylor on an acoustic guitar. Talking about the song she said: “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 over 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 that features Taylor. 10 Years and Conquer Divide will stage a US tour together this Fall from 11th – 26th October.
 
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 January – 1st February. Right after, the band will appear with Ankor starting on 7th February 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 16th March 16 in Kortrijk, Belgium.

Regarding the tours, Conquer Divide’s Kia Taylor said, “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, and they are ‘Bad Guy’, ‘Atonement, ‘Paralyzed’ featuring Attack Attack!; an acoustic version of ‘Only Girl’ and ‘80 Proof’.
 
The band, hailing from the U.S., U.K. and Canada, has 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 two times Grammy nominated producer Tyler Smyth (Falling In Reverse, I Prevail) and four times RIAA certified gold record producer Joey Sturgis (Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, Of Mice & Men) to record Slow Burn.
