New Cross Live presentsDivided By Design
Divided by Design are an independent Trio from the United kingdom, intent on creating something unique and truly progressive. Liam Stephenson’s virtuosic guitar and otherworldly compositions blends seamlessly together with Tom Chambers and Sam Young’s brutal rhythm section. Inspired by the likes of Dream Theater, Animals as Leaders and Periphery, the duo are not shy to employ the ‘prog’ spirit of early Rush and Coheed and Cambria, and use this to make something they, and others, believe is truly ground breaking. In 2020 Divided by Design released their critical acclaimed debut album “Stages to Osiris” cited by Off the Hook as “undoubtedly one of the best metal albums” and Angry Wolf Music Reviews calling it “a complex progressive masterpiece”. The band’s follow up album “Irretraceable Steps”, released in 2022, was once again meet with critical praise having Progressive Rock Central call it “an excellent, dynamic and diverse instrumental prog album.”. Constant gigging and dedication to their music has allowed Divided by Design to craft a live performance level rarely seen amongst other UK based bands; with unprecedented technical mastery of their instruments along with an energy described by the likes of ‘UK Thrashers’ as being “at times brutal, at times beautiful”.
