The journey continues: The modern metallers A LIFE DIVIDED have released their fourth single “Life Goes On” from the upcoming album “DOWN THE SPIRAL OF A SOUL”, which will be released on July 07 via AFM Records/Soulfood Music. 

The heavy rock anthem is a very personal song for singer Plangger: “The song is an advice to my son not to take things too hard. I wish he always manages to break out of the hamster wheel of life, to question the big and small problems sometimes and not to take everything too seriously. Many problems become smaller when we manage to pause regularly and simply zoom out of our everyday cosmos”.

A LIFE DIVIDED, often referred to as the “German Linkin Park”, was founded in 2003. The band around singer Jürgen Plangger (also guitarist for Eisbrecher) has TOP 40 album chart placements, several million streams, plays sold out headlining gigs and has been on tour with other scene greats like Oomph!, Apocalyptica and Mono Inc. 

The new album was recorded in the band’s own studios by musical mastermind Erik Damköhler, with mixing and mastering by Christoph Wieczorek (Annisokay) of Sawdust Studios.

A LIFE DIVIDED starting the new year by releasing the track “Best Time” – the second  single release of the new studio album, which will be released in August.

“The song is about power-loving egoists who, which will stick to their power, no matter what” explains singer Jürgen Plangger. “People who always blame others or blame the entire world.”

This topic is even more explosive, considering the current global political situation. „We live in a kind of permanent state of emergency,”  Jürgen continued. “This used to be our best time – this used to be our paradise”. The world around us feels more minor than major these days. Especially from my perspective as a father, I very much hope that this will not become a permanent condition.

The single is a result of the past – dark, angry and direct.

The Munich band A LIFE DIVIDED are an integral part of the scene. In 2003, the group was founded by singer Jürgen Plangger (also guitarist of Eisbrecher). Ever since they have been busy being by play sold-out headliner gigs on tour with Oomph!, Apocalyptica or Mono Inc. Plangger, guitarist Tony Berger, bassist Tobias Egger and drummer Manuel Di Camilloconquered not only the hearts of the fans, but also the German album charts.
