SYSTEM DIVIDE's New Album To Feature Guest Appearance By Former NEVERMORE Guitarist

August 7, 2013

Video footage from the recording sessions for "The Cult Of Indifference", the second second full-length album from the extreme metal bulldozer SYSTEM DIVIDE — featuring current members of ABORTED and former members of DISTORTED — can be seen below. The CD was recorded at Sound Division Studios in Hagen, Germany and is currently being mixed by Pete Rutcho (REVOCATION, THE GHOST INSIDE, BURY YOUR DEAD).

"The Cult Of Indifference" will contain 12 songs, including one as-yet-undisclosed cover version, and will feature guest appearances by three musicians, including former NEVERMORE guitarist Jeff Loomis. The cover artwork is being created by Colin Marks of Rain Song Design, who previously worked with SYSTEM DIVIDE on the band's first two releases.

Comments SYSTEM DIVIDE vocalist Sven De Caluwé: "If you think you know SYSTEM DIVIDE, think again! The material is far more intricate, extreme and progressive without losing the groove and melodic aspects. I am sure this will turn quite some heads."

Songtitles set to appear on "The Cult Of Indifference" (in no particular order):

* An Adagio For The Callous
* The Tribulation Of Man
* Quandaries Obsolete (feat. Jeff Loomis)
* Body Of Ineptitude
* Scorn
* S(k)in
* Eternal Lament Irreversible
* Catabolic
* Ephemera
* A Canvas Of Me
* Cult Of Indifference

Due to scheduling conflicts, longtime SYSTEM DIVIDE drummer Mike Heller (who is now the full-time drummer for FEAR FACTORY) was replaced by Ken Bedene of ABORTED.

SYSTEM DIVIDE's full-length debut, "The Conscious Sedation", was released on September 14, 2010 via Metal Blade Records. The CD was recorded at Conquistador studios in Cleveland, Ohio and was mixed and mastered by James Murphy (OBITUARY, TESTAMENT, DEATH).

Founded in summer 2008, SYSTEM DIVIDE set out to revolutionize the conventions of the over-saturated melodic death metal genre, proving that extreme metal can have more depth than blast beats, while female vocals do not have to conform to the precepts of the "goth" genre.
