From the beginning, Cold Divide have worked hard to ensure that they are a live act to be reckoned with, incorporating live synths, loops and glitched out mayhem from sources both hardware and software alongside heavy rock drums and guitars. This intense and continually evolving process of combining genres and sounds is a vital part of the bands identity, since the production and sound design of their recordings are as equally important as their live performances.
To date the band have supported international acts such as: Combichrist (Norway/USA), Grendel (Netherlands), Nachtmar (Austria) and Lab4 (UK).
Cold divide have also remixed artists such as Frontline assembly (Canada) and Distaudio (Australia). They have also had the track "Plagueworthy" from their debut ep Grand manipulations used in the in-game soundtrack for the online multiplayer game "APB", which was developed by the same team as grand theft auto and features other artists such as Pendulum.
Heavy slabs of guitar. Vocals that can soar, snarl and penetrate. Synths and bass that sound like the very fabric of space and time being ripped apart. Drums that make you want to dance but kick you in the chest. Cold Divide aspire to create their own sound. That unique combination that only they can make, so as soon as you hear it, you know. Cold divide want to make sounds you've never heard before, but will want to hear again and again and again.
December 2012 will see the release of their second EP "weaponized". Along with a huge push of promotion for this release, the band will continue playing live into the new year as well as begin writing for a debut album. Cold divide are not thinking small, and hope to make their way overseas as soon as possible to show the world what they've got.

Cold Divide Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Amai kioku kesenai guilty sound / Ese sonido es culpable de mis inolvidables recuerdos
Mienai togeba no youni /Todavía sigo capturado por ti
Kimi ni torawareta heart / Como una sombra invencible
Isso wasurete shimaeta nara… / En lugar de olvidarme de todo
Let me cry, let me cry / Déjame llorar, déjame llorar
Ima wa kono mama / Ahora estoy bien
I can fly, I can breath / Puedo volar, puedo respirar
Ashita ni nareba / Cuando llegue el mañana yo sin duda
kitto mirai torimodosu yo /Recuperare mi futuro
Sakebu narcissist kotae wa nakute / Hable con todos con el placer de responder
Odoru katharsis koda masuru dake / Sin embargo, solo recibí mi eco
Hakanai awa no youni / El amor desaparecerá al igual que una burbuja
Kieyuku noga koito / Esta noche solo
Tsubuyaite miru konna yoru wa / se desvanecerá
Let me cry, let me cry / Déjame llorar, déjame llorar
Semete yume demo, / Incluso si fuera solo en sueños
Aitai nante mou omowa nai / Quiero estar contigo y verte
I´m gonna fly, I´m gonna breath / voy a volar, voy a respirar
Fureru koto no nai / Porque no puedo volar a un amor
ai ja babatakenai kara / que no se puede respirar
Iet mi cry kitari no boku no kokoro wa / Mi corazón está lleno de confusiones
Hikari wo motomete samayou yo / Vagando en busca de una luz
Let me cry, let me cry / Dejame llorar, dejame llorar
Ima wa kono mama / Ahora estoy bien
kanashimi daite nemurasete yo / Sigue siendo triste y ya me cansé
I can fly, I can breath / Puedo volar puedo respirar
Ashita ni nareba /Cuando llegue el mañana
kitto mirai torimodosu yo / Yo sin duda recuperare mi futuro
Hakanai awa o youni / El amor desaparecerá,
Kieyuku noga koito / al igual que una burbuja
Tsubuyaiteriru konna yuru wa / Esta noche solo se desvanecerá
Cold Dive's song "Distance" is a nostalgic and melancholic tune that explores the lingering impact of lost love. The lyrics are a mix of Japanese and Spanish, capturing the universality of heartbreak and the power of music to transcend language barriers. The opening lines "Mado wo tataku sekirara rainy sound / El sonido de la lluvia golpea la ventana" create a sense of sadness and longing, with the singer feeling trapped by their memories of a past love.
As the song progresses, the lyrics continue to explore the singer's emotional state. They feel guilty for their inability to forget about their past love, trapped by the memories that continue to haunt them. The chorus "Let me cry, let me cry / Déjame llorar, déjame llorar" highlights the singer's desire to release their emotions, to let themselves feel the pain and sadness that comes with heartbreak. They want to be allowed to grieve and move on, but the memories continue to linger, making it impossible to forget.
The bridge of the song "Hakanai awa no youni / El amor desaparecerá al igual que una burbuja" is a poignant moment that captures the fleeting nature of love. The image of love disappearing like a bubble popping adds to the melancholic tone of the song. The final lines "Tsubuyaiteriru konna yuru wa / Esta noche solo se desvanecerá" highlight the idea that despite the singer's pain and sadness, the night will pass, and they will eventually be able to move on.
