This Silent Divide

This Silent Divide are a rock band from Wellington, New Zealand that mix driving drums, wall-of-sound guitars and melodic overtones to create catchy, high-energy songs.

The Fire EP follows the release of the 2025 singles City Lights and Rockets, which received local radio airplay and were picked up by streaming rock radio stations internationally. The release of City Lights was accompanied by a gritty, energetic music video featuring fellow musicians and fans.

Expansion Radial called Rockets “Modern hard rock with a stoner edge that keeps the listener hooked” noting “Rockets is a striking example of This Silent Divide’s ability to merge power, melody and emotion.” Loud Enough? Magazine labelled City Lights “a lively piece of modern rock with a twist of punk attitude for a dirty and mean edge that packs a meaty punch”.

Lyrically The Fire EP explores themes around the obsession with things you can’t control, the inner drive to push through adversity, and precarious situations that could ignite at any moment.

The EP was produced, recorded and mixed by Toby Lloyd at Wellington’s Tiny Triumph Recordings and mastered by Robin Schmidt in Germany.

Formed in 2018, This Silent Divide released their debut EP Tall Stories in 2021, with five further singles released across 2023 and 2024 taking their music to a wider audience.
