Divide and Dissolve is an instrumental doom metal duo based in Melbourne, Australia, known for blending heavy, droning guitars and saxophone with politically charged themes. Comprised of Takiaya Reed (saxophone, guitar) and Sylvie Nehill (drums), the band uses their music as a tool for decolonization and dismantling white supremacy. Their sound is immersive and intense, marked by sprawling compositions that channel emotional weight and resistance.
Their 2021 album "Gas Lit," produced by Ruban Nielson of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, brought them broader critical acclaim for its raw power and urgent messaging. The follow-up, "Systemic," continued their mission with even more depth, exploring systemic oppression and structural racism through crushing soundscapes. Divide and Dissolve’s performances are equally impactful—deeply atmospheric, politically intentional, and emotionally resonant.
