UK Instrumental Progressive Metal Unit DIVIDED BY DESIGN Launch Epic LP "Stages To Osiris: Rebirth"
Posted on: 09 Mar 2026
UK progressive metallers DIVIDED BY DESIGN have shared their newest full-length LP, Stages To Osiris: Rebirth, today (13th Feb), alongside a killer music music for its mind-melting release single, "Collapsing Reality".
An expansive and colossal exploration of instrumental progressive metal, Stages To Osiris: Rebirth's densely packed five-track run showcases the band at their absolute peak. With soaring, technical guitar passages; phenomenal bass work; air-tight percussion; and a keen blend of the melodic and the ferocious, the UK prog unit's latest foray is one that thrives in its intense attention to detail.
The band's now fifth full length endeavour, starting with the original Stages To Osiris back in 2020, Rebirth sees DIVIDED BY DESIGN delve further into their technically-minded take on progressive metal, with lead guitarist Liam Stephenson channelling the virtuosity of players like Tosin Abasi and Jason Richardson, working in tandem with drummer Tom Chambers' relentless and earth-shattering percussion and Sam Young's fingerstyle bass chops to create something truly enthralling, and undeniably masterful.
To celebrate the release of Stages To Osiris: Rebirth, DIVIDED BY DESIGN will be embarking on a UK tour throughout February. During the tour, a release show will be held at The Drill in Lincoln on 13th Feb, which promises to be a particularly special show, with the band playing the brand new album in its entirety, accompanied by a string orchestra, as well as an additional guitarist and keys player. You can view the tour's official poster with all dates below.
