MICHAEL ROMEO - Divide & Conquer (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
Taken from the new album 'War Of The Worlds, Pt. 2 (Bonus Tracks Edition)', Out March 25th, 2022
Order the album here: MichaelRomeo.l...
Directed and Edited by: Wayne Joyner
Lyrics:
One by one - dissected with such extreme precision
Classified by type
It's begun - razor sharp, oh, that first incision
Strong and swift - speed of light
Eyes of envy watching from afar
Rip the skyline like a falling star
Unearthly silence dressed in black
The damage is done, now there's no turning back
Denying, defying - the dread's intensifying
It's all for one and one for all
Defiling, die trying - a storm electrifying
Divided we stand, united we fall
Victimized - the microscopic subdivisions
Bound by chains of fear
Paralyzed - we align for sure collision
Endless night draws ever near
Nightmare titans lacerate the sky
Through darkened clouds, the foe malign
Unearthly silence dressed in black
The damage is done, now there's no turning back
Denying, defying - the dread's intensifying
It's all for one and one for all
Defiling, die trying - a storm electrifying
Divided we stand, united we fall

Proud to be a part of this. Wait till you hear the rest. 🤘

[@Xsymph]

Must be so much fun to sing Romeo's songs... he gets the best of everyone

[@kamikazekrush3758]

Dino, the singing, Guitar, Bass and the Drumming all sound AWESOME!!! I'm skipping work on March 25!

[@Metalton95]

I can't believe you're the same kid who won Junior Eurovision 2003. Congrats on growing up to be an absolute chad. And what a powerful voice! Consider me excited to follow your career, Dino!!

Amazing Dino!

[@HoofHearted6]

Mindblowing for sure. The whole album is incredible. Just. Fukng. Incredible.

[@mariofonovic]

Romeo and Dino.......Best metal duo at this moment !!!!!!!!!!....

[@JDfromNY]

Dino may have the best decision Romeo has made. He sounds fucking incredible and fits Romeo’s style as good as anything I have heard

[@macblade7247]

I sadly disagree... Don't get me wrong Dino is one of the best singers there is. But I always get the feeling his influences are too dominant. Concerning this new album I'd rather hear his former singer Rick Castellano... But I think that is a matter of taste....

[@kamikazekrush3758]

@@macblade7247 Rick did a great job, but dude seriously, listen to this track again, you wanna say he is channeling his influences, fine, but his influences are apparently the best singers in metal, I'll take that every day of the week, and I look at this as a 2 part epic, so play them together and you get the best of both worlds

[@macblade7247]

@@kamikazekrush3758 I perfectly understand you. And I I know exactly what you mean. But I think Castellano did something fresh and pronounced a voice not yet heard. Where Dino let us hear a voice already done. Again don't get me wrong, I think it is a great song and I will defenately set this upcoming album on repeat. I think it is a matter of taste.

[@kamikazekrush3758]

@@macblade7247 OK, I understand you as well, Rick was a different type voice, the last track on the first CD "Constellations" really showed how good he was, it's one of my favorite Romeo tracks period, hopefully Rick will be heard more in the future, heck maybe Romeo will do a part 3 with this band and use Rick and Dino both? Lots of bands do the multiple vocalist thing nowdays

[@recurrencetheorem4264]

Romeo is unreal!

[@Sphereal]

Can we take a moment to appreciate Romeo's skills as a producer and arranger? Most of the time we are in awe of his skills as a guitar player and songwriter, but his mixing style is severely underrated.

[@Xsymph]

For sure! it's 10/10 Also his guitar tone is Unique and amazing since the Divine wings era

[@Metalton95]

I honestly find the drum mix pretty underwhelming, at this point. Despite the similar sound, it lacks a bit of the "oompf" of Iconoclast imo.

[@Sphereal]

@@Xsymph His solo tone has always been amazing, especially in TDWOT. His riff sound on that album was also fantastic. The guitar sound in The Odyssey proved how superb his technique is. Making such a scooped tone still sound clean and defined.

[@alberthouwaart]

I think his last albums are mixed by the amazing Simone Mularoni guitarplayer and producer of DGM.

[@oRizho]

I hope Michael will do some more tutorial vid's when he has time because he's obviously the Prog Metal King of this Era along with Petrucci.

He is a legend guitarist of our time and ambassador of the craft, thank you Michael Romeo for being a super awesome guy!!!

A welcome surprise this morning. Romeo sounds inspired here, even his riffs are starting to sound like mini solos. Dude is on a whole different level. Dino sounds great on vocals, that solo was sick and the brief orchestration at the end of this has me patiently waiting for more.

[@distorted81]

Man, I've been waiting for this album since War of the Worlds Pt.1 which is 4 years now. I do have to strongly point out that I absolutely adored Rick, and mind you, not from the start. I slowly but fimly grew up into his representation and embraced the fact this is arguably the best piece of music released in last few years. Now, learning that a fellow Croat made it into this one, and straight up wrote history by making it into the absolute elite of rock musicianship, and making a legend to his name made me feel so proud, man, and that's something I haven't felt in a very, very long time, my friend.
