Québec City melodic death metal force Born Divided continue the momentum of their acclaimed sophomore album “Chronicle of a Shipwreck” with the release of a brand‑new lyric video for one of the record’s most visceral tracks, “The Dead Inside Ourselves.”

A standout moment on the album, “The Dead Inside Ourselves,” captures the band at their most raw and unfiltered. The track erupts with stripped‑down, hard‑hitting guitar riffs, no ornamentation, no restraint, just pure, unrelenting aggression. As the song unfolds, it plunges into a brooding, symphonic bridge that channels the dark theatricality of Cradle of Filth before launching into a climactic finale. Vocalist Maxim Levesque delivers one of his most striking performances to date, with clean vocals that rise above the chaos in a haunting, unforgettable close.
​
​“The Dead Inside Ourselves is one of the most cathartic pieces on the album. It’s raw emotion without a filter, anger, despair, resilience, all colliding in one place. The lyric video gives fans a deeper look into that emotional core,” says the band.

Released this past October, “Chronicle of a Shipwreck” marked a major creative milestone for Born Divided. Mixed and mastered by Chris Donaldson (Cryptopsy), the album pushes further into the band’s signature blend of orchestral intensity, progressive ambition, and melodic ferocity. Since forming in 2020, following the end of Blinded by Faith, founding members Tommy Demers and Michael Beaudoin have built Born Divided into a powerhouse alongside Levesque, drummer Lucas Biron, and guitarist Fred Bedard, all veterans of Québec’s metal scene.
​
With “Chronicle of a Shipwreck,” the band adopted a more personal and emotionally charged direction. Fast, intricate riffs collide with soaring melodies, brutal screams, and cinematic arrangements, exploring themes of collapse, inner conflict, and the fight toward redemption. The album has been praised for its dynamic songwriting and its ability to balance heaviness with haunting atmosphere.
​
The new lyric video for “The Dead Inside Ourselves” provides fans with another glimpse into the album’s emotional landscape, one characterized by intensity, vulnerability, and the band’s unmistakable blend of melodic death metal and symphonic drama.
​
​Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTWx3fnx-B4

​Recommended for fans of Ne Obliviscaris, Symphony X, Scar Symmetry, Persefone, and Dimmu Borgir, Born Divided continue to carve out a distinct identity in the modern metal scene, delivering music that is as technically sharp as it is emotionally resonant.

“Chronicle of a Shipwreck”, released October 24th, 2025, is available at the following links:

“It doesn’t matter whether BORN DIVIDED plays fast and furious, slow and deliberate or is hovering somewhere in between, everything on “Chronicle Of A Shipwreck” is as it should be. 9/10” – Metal-Temple​
​
​“Weaknesses? Not a single one! Craft? Everything is great! The vocals? A celebration in all respects. Would AMON AMARTH suddenly jump on the prog metal bandwagon, adapting a bit of modern death lead and at the same time adding traditional melodic metal to the gallery, would the Northmen possibly sound similar to BORN DIVIDED – but this is just a clue. Musically, the band is completely independent and combines several genres into a rousing, always gripping symbiosis that we can’t get enough of, even in the long term. Check out the boys’ band camp page, familiarize yourself with the previous material and place a collective order immediately – because this band more than deserves the support! 9.5/10” – PowerMetal.de​
​
​“”“Chronicle of a Shipwreck” is an excellent album in balance between softness, reinforced concrete riffs and violence. A record to discover urgently ! ” 4/5 – Music Waves​
​
​““Chronicle of a Shipwreck” est un excellent album en équilibre entre douceur, riffs en béton armé et violence. Un disque à découvrir d’urgence ! ” 4/5 – Music Waves​
​
​“If it wasn’t obvious, Born Divided’s Chronicles of a Shipwreck was a very good experience for me. This one netted me about 8–10 listens (I stopped counting around 6) and I never felt like there was a song that didn’t fit. Nothing was skipped, and I remain entirely impressed this one was self-released. So, here’s one for us Canadians!” – Dire Notes​
​
​“Like the waves the ship on the cover of Chronicle Of A Shipwreck traverses through, Born Divided keep their music in constant motion. There isn’t any smooth sailing to be found in this endless body of choppy melodic death metal that’s supplemented by progressive/black metal. They try to make each song its own event, whether that be the frenzied hop of “The Dead Inside Ourselves” or the orchestral elevation of the title track. Opener “Everything Comes To An End” has an Opeth tribute in the middle with singing that could be a doppelganger for Mikael Åkerfeldt. It’s a bit distracting, especially since it’s never used again on Chronicle Of A Shipwreck. That’s the most blatant nod Born Divided make to another band directly. Though the ship on the cover meets a woeful end, the band avoids such a fate.” – Head Music Headquarters​

BORN DIVIDED Hit The Road For Shows In Atlantic Canada For New Album “Chronicle of a Shipwreck”

Quebec City melodic death metal band Born Divided unleashed their highly anticipated second album, “Chronicle of the Shipwreck,” this past October. Mixed and mastered by Chris Donaldson of Cryptopsy, the album dives deeper into the band’s signature fusion of orchestral grandeur, progressive complexity, and raw emotional power.

In support of the record, Born Divided is hitting the road this week for two show dates in Atlantic Canada, performing alongside Omnivide and Ibex on November 21st in Moncton, New Brunswick, and on November 22nd in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Show Dates: ​
Nov 21 – Moncton, NB – Xeroz Arcade Bar w/ Omnivide, Ibex – info​
Nov 22 – Halifax, NS – Gus’ Pub w/ Omnivide, Ibex, Necrohol – info​

Formed in 2020 following the end of Blinded by Faith, a band that included founding members Tommy Demers and Michaël Beaudoin. Driven by a desire to return to music, Tommy transitioned from vocals to bass, opening the door for a new frontman. Maxim Levesque stepped in as lead vocalist, bringing fresh energy to the lineup. Longtime friends Lucas Biron (drums) and Fred Bédard (guitar) completed the ensemble, forming a powerhouse of seasoned musicians with deep roots in Québec’s metal scene.
​
​Born Divided’s debut album, Impending Doom (2022), delivered seven tracks of razor-sharp precision and relentless intensity. With their latest release, “Chronicle of the Shipwreck,” the band unveils a more evolved and emotionally resonant soundscape. The album is driven by fast, heavy riffs that balance complexity with catchiness, while brutal screams and soaring clean vocals create a striking dynamic tension. Cinematic orchestration deepens the atmosphere, and hook-rich guitar melodies keep the momentum surging. Lyrically and musically, the record navigates themes of emotional collapse, existential turmoil, and the fierce journey toward redemption.

“We’re incredibly excited to unveil our new album. Our sound has been described as “if Gojira and Symphony X collided head-on, with flashes of Devin Townsend and the orchestral chaos of Dimmu Borgir,” and this album feels like the perfect embodiment of that hybrid spirit. As a band, our creative evolution has shifted dramatically; our earlier work leaned toward conceptual and fantastical storytelling. But Born Divided is something else entirely. It’s raw, personal, and brutally honest. Over the past two years, we’ve poured everything into this record: frustration, growth, vulnerability, and the cathartic power of music itself. This isn’t just an album. It’s a reflection of where we’ve been, what we’ve endured, and how we’ve emerged, louder, heavier, and more unapologetically ourselves.”

With each track offering a distinct atmosphere, some are catchier, featuring memorable choruses, while others unfold into longer, more progressive journeys. It’s a compelling blend of melody and aggression designed to resonate deeply with fans. Recommended for fans of Ne Obliviscaris, Symphony X, Scar Symmetry, Persefone, and Dimmu Borgir.

Musically, the band is completely independent and combines several genres into a rousing, always gripping symbiosis that we can’t get enough of, even in the long term. Check out the boys’ band camp page, familiarize yourself with the previous material and place a collective order immediately – because this band more than deserves the support! 9.5/10” – PowerMetal.de​

​“”“Chronicle of a Shipwreck” is an excellent album in balance between softness, reinforced concrete riffs and violence. A record to discover urgently ! ” 4/5 – Music Waves​

​“If it wasn’t obvious, Born Divided’s Chronicles of a Shipwreck was a very good experience for me. This one netted me about 8–10 listens (I stopped counting around 6) and I never felt like there was a song that didn’t fit. Nothing was skipped, and I remain entirely impressed this one was self-released. So, here’s one for us Canadians!” – Dire Notes​
​
​“Like the waves the ship on the cover of Chronicle Of A Shipwreck traverses through, Born Divided keep their music in constant motion. There isn’t any smooth sailing to be found in this endless body of choppy melodic death metal that’s supplemented by progressive/black metal. They try to make each song its own event, whether that be the frenzied hop of “The Dead Inside Ourselves” or the orchestral elevation of the title track. Opener “Everything Comes To An End” has an Opeth tribute in the middle with singing that could be a doppelganger for Mikael Åkerfeldt. It’s a bit distracting, especially since it’s never used again on Chronicle Of A Shipwreck. That’s the most blatant nod Born Divided make to another band directly. Though the ship on the cover meets a woeful end, the band avoids such a fate.” – Head Music Headquarters
