THE UNIVERSE DIVIDE

The Universe Divide biography
In 2007, Chris RUSHING and Gaël PIRLOT began a project with the intention of juxtaposing challenging compositions with melodic ideas; the result became THE UNIVERSE DIVIDE. The project became dormant as the two exhausted their hopes of finding a percussionist and began focusing on other musical endeavors (CANVAS SOLARIS, THE BURDEN OF EXISTENCE). However, in 2009, a chance encounter with drummer Jason PARKER revived the project and the quest for intergalactic entropy.

2010 has brought the trio out of rehearsal and onto multiple stages across Atlanta. The 5 song E.P. "Dust Settles On The Odontophobes" was produced by Jamie King at The Basement Recording and released Summer of 2011.

The band is a recommended entry in the world of instrumental technical prog metal and list CARCASS, CYNIC, DEATH, ENSLAVED, EXTOL, DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN and SOLEFALD amongst their influences. Prog rock fans can certainly add a darkened KING CRIMSON to that list.
