NORTH OF NEVER is a hard rock/alternative metal band formed in February 2020. The band consists of a trio of songwriters – Michael ‘MJ’ Johnson, Mike O’Campo and Erik Seime. Their music has undertones of Sevendust, Red, Periphery, Breaking Benjamin and even the likes of Fallout Boy. While many bands form locally, North of Never formed online. North of Never has been on a roll. Now releasing their 3rd single during the covid chaos. The new single is called The Great Divide!!
Lyrically, ‘The Great Divide’ is about an uprising. The story behind the track is being told by a speaker who is encouraging an oppressed group to stand up and fight for what they believe in. Accompanied by heavy guitars and melodic undertones, ‘The Great Divide’ delivers an empowering message carried by an aggressive, in your face sound! Given the social unrest right now, this song will resonate with listeners across the globe.
LIGHT THE TORCH have dropped the lyric video for the song ‘The Great Divide’ from their most recent album “Revival”.
Listen to the song and watch the lyric video here:
“This song is basically about doing anything to save that which is already dead,” said singer Howard Jones. “You’ve tried everything to make it work and you knew deep down it wouldn’t work in the first place. Come out to the Octane Accelerator tour and sing along with us, it’s going to be fun on an epic scale!”

The Los Angeles, CA group — Howard Jones [vocals], Francesco Artusato [guitar], and Ryan Wombacher [bass] — drew from five years together as DEVIL YOU KNOW to forge a wholly distinct path. Amidst myriad struggles, they returned from the brink under a new name. The LIGHT THE TORCH lineup boasts one of the most esteemed pedigrees in modern heavy music. Jones spent a decade at the helm of GRAMMY® Award-nominated and gold-selling titans KILLSWITCH ENGAGE. Artusato had much-lauded stint in ALL SHALL PERISH and has attained status as a shred virtuoso. Wombacher was a staple in BLEEDING THROUGH for well over a decade.
Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of the anticipated fourth album from ALLEN / LANDE, the vocal alliance between Norwegian Jorn Lande and powerhouse Symphony X / Adrenaline Mob vocalist Russell Allen entitled “The Great Divide” on October 17th in Europe and October 21st in North America.
Following three successful albums written, played and produced by Magnus Karlsson (of Primal Fear/Starbreaker), the new album “The Great Divide” offers a substantial change in that former Stratovarius guitarist and main composer, Timo Tolkki took on the challenge to write and produce the new recording. Tolkki also performs all instrumentation on the album except for drums, which are handled by Jami Huovinen.
Work on the album started in late 2013 when the first songs were demoed and sent to the two singers, who loved the direction of the new music. Also, for the first time, Jorn Lande has contributed vocal melodies and lyrics to the album. The final result is certainly outstanding and the crisp mixes from Dennis Ward (PC 69, Place Vendome, Unisonic) have delivered an amazing sounding album. Stunning cover art created by French artist Stan Decker completes the package of the most eagerly anticipated Melodic Metal release of 2014!
The opening track from the album, “Come Dream With Me”, is available for streaming via Soundcloud via this link:
and a 3-song trailer is available on Youtube via this link:
Two more songs from the album will be unveiled in the coming weeks prior to the album’s release.
“The Great Divide” tracklisting includes the following songs: Come Dream With Me; Down From The Mountain; In The Hands Of Time; Solid Ground; Lady Of Winter; Dream About Tomorrow; Hymn To The Fallen; The Great Divide; Reaching For The Stars; Bittersweet.
