Divide And Conquer

by CIANIDE

Compact Disc (CD)
Originally released in the year 2000, Divide and Conquer was a crucial, transitional album for CIANIDE. Over the course of their first three, equally classic albums - 1992's The Dying Truth, 1994's Descent Into Hell, and 1997's Death, Doom and Destruction - CIANIDE had practically perfected the death-doom style, of course often kicking into righteously headbanging parts. It was that latter element that the power-trio would expand upon and explore across Divide and Conquer, the title itself symbolic of their increasingly crushing ways.

Contained on this absolutely DELUXE expanded edition are two different unique mixes of the album: the first is fully remastered - done "proper," as CIANIDE would put it - with the sound equally warm but arguably more humid and certainly with even more low-end crush, while the second is the original mix as it was released in 2000. Also contained herein are two demos from the era - the three-song Promo 1998, and an unreleased three-song demo recorded in June 1999 - as well as a grinding studio outtake for early track "Choose Your Death" and a raw 'n' ripping cover of At War's "Ordered to Kill."

CIANIDE are the first and last word on classic Metal of Death, and this deluxe 2CD edition shall definitely be the last, ULTIMATE word on Divide and Conquer!

One of the cultest names in American death metal, CIANIDE have stuck to their guns since their inception in 1988, building a canon that's unrivaled in its consistency and trend-free philosophy. Theirs is a Metal of Death that's simple, straightforward, and effectively primitive: blunt-force trauma informed by Hellhammer and Chicago forebears Master,but with skull crushing heavinerss all their own. ... more

Distilled death metal with catchy riffs and well written songs. It's not reinventing the wheel or anything but it's osdm, if that's what you want look elsewhere. grahamy

I'm kicking my own ass for somehow missing this when it released. Expertly arranged death metal with kick drums that could demolish a high-rise. zirtonic

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal

An ambitious, yet tightly executed, death metal debut that trades in crushing riffs, funereal effects, and even the odd Shakespeare quote. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 25, 2023
