TEST THE DIVIDE
"Djent", the sound of intense distorted guitars, is what you will hear when Test The Divide takes the stage. The band devotes its time to honing their technicality and musical ability to push the boundaries of progressive metal and music in general.
Drawing inspiration from modern progressive metal giants Periphery and Animals As Leaders, Test The Divide will shatter your perception of metal with colossal riffs and hard hitting grooves.
After an explosive debut at the Esplanade Waterfront, Test The Divide is currently working on new material for a possible 2018 release.
