TRENCH Share "DIVIDED BETWEEN NEW SKIN" Video

Calgary's hardest band TRENCH — Jay Breen (vocals); Tony Chan (bass); Cole Young (guitar/electronics); and Tommy Chan (drums) — are back with a brand new banger.
The band has shared the video for "DIVIDED BETWEEN NEW SKIN."(wATCH BELOW)

It's actually three singles in one: "DIVIDED EXISTENCE," "BETWEEN INVERTED WORLDS," and "NEW SKIN PROTOCOL."

Yes, it's a rager. Yes, it will tear your head clean off your neck with its ferociousness, while the animated video will capture your attention and never let it go. Essentially, Trench and "DIVIDED BETWEEN NEW SKIN" are the total hard rock package.

"The first track 'Divided Existence' is entirely electronic and was composed by Cole Young," says vocalist Jay Breen. "The song was designed to ease you in and take you on a journey leading into the first track. The song 'Between Inverted Worlds' tackles the emotions of always being between self doubt and self fulfillment. The track is about facing your defeat and self doubt. 'New Skin Protocol' is metaphorically about the reinvention of yourself though facing these emotions."

He continues, "Musically, we have progressively gotten heavier. The electronics have gotten more experimental and have become a bigger part of the band. We challenged ourselves musically and technically and left it all on the table."

About the video, Breen furthers, "'Divided Between New Skin' represents the struggle between being stuck between self deprecation and self-fulfillment. The animation takes you through the story of retrieving an intergalactic soldier who mysteriously perished on their quest. After finding the soldier, they are restored and recreated into a new and improved being through a series of protocols. The story may continue one day..."

ABOUT TRENCH:
In a world where conformity reigns supreme, Trench stand defiant and unapologetic, daring to carve their own path through the music scene. With their unforgettably distinct and refreshing approach to metal music, they've crafted a sound that's as bold as it is brooding, refusing to adhere to anyone's expectations but their own. Their journey began in 2017, instantly marking Trench as a force to be reckoned with. After exploring their sound in the early days, they weren't content to rest on their laurels, revealing the boundaries they were willing to push with the release of The Gift of Guilt in 2019, diving deep into synthetic post-metal landscapes while confronting the harsh realities of life and loss head-on.

Along the way, Trench's ferocious live performances and unyielding determination caught worldwide attention, earning them spots on stages alongside heavyweights like Misery Signals, Comeback Kid, Integrity, and Harm's Way. Their rapid evolution didn't go unnoticed either; the impact of their debut LP Blossom in 2020 (with Jesse Zaraska of Misery Signals accompanying them on "Hellbent Gate") led to their inevitable record deal with New Damage Records. Their fourth official release in 2022, Encased in Chrome, propelled Trench to new heights, sharing the stage with modern-day legends Knocked Loose. It was also featured on Cult of Luna's Top 10 List in 2023. Shortly after, Trench was invited to play overseas at Beyond The Redshift Festival in London, alongside iconic death metal band Napalm Death.
