DIVINE REGALE Return with New Single & Music Video for “Miles Between Us” from forthcoming album
Following the overwhelming response to their ‘Horizons + Window’ demos reissued to vinyl earlier this year, M-Theory Audio proudly presents the long-awaited return of New England progressive metal stalwarts DIVINE REGALE. Today, the band officially share new music with “Miles Between Us,” single and its accompanying music video now online. Watch video HERE
Serving as the album's lead track, “Miles Between Us” bridges their storied history with fresh momentum.
“It was the first thing that clicked when we started writing in 2014,” says drummer Chris Anderson.
The song's conceptual roots stretch back even further to 1997.
“Between Fates Warning tour legs, we were working on a much longer song called ‘Ashes.’ I started going through old cassettes and found a different arrangement that was a shorter, stripped-down version of the song. That became the seed for ‘Miles...’”
The track came together rapidly from there, propelled by a standout chorus and a searing guitar solo by Gary Leighton.
“You can really hear his Randy Rhoads influences in this song,” Anderson adds.
For vocalist Dwight Hill, the thematic weight of the single reflects the emotional reality of the band's reunion.
“A lot of years had passed since I’d been in the same room with the guys,” Hill shares. “I find it interesting when we revisit something or somewhere after so much time, how much has changed and equally what hasn’t.”
“Miles Between Us” comes from the group’s long-awaited follow-up to their 1997 Metal Blade Records debut, ‘Ocean Mind,’ 30 years later we reveal the anticipated ‘Ghost In Every Room’ is a reality with a release date of January 15th. Pre-orders start today for the limited edition (300 copies) on apparition colored 2LP vinyl and CD Digipak. Order at our webstore or Bandcamp
“Making this album has been such a journey. I’m so incredibly proud of this record. I think it’s a diverse record but unmistakably Divine Regale, just much more mature in our songwriting and arranging. We certainly didn’t plan for there to be a 30-year break between albums, but here we are,” explains Chris Anderson. “To everyone who has stuck with us all these years – thank you! We can’t wait for you to hear it.”
“Given how much time has passed since ‘Ocean Mind,’ ‘Ghost…’ truly feels like a second debut album for us – an opportunity very few bands get to experience,” elaborates guitarist Gary Leighton. “Written without any caveats or predetermined plan, we simply created what felt right. The result is an old-school prog album similar to classic Queensryche and Fates Warning while capturing a distinct sound that is entirely its own.”
Singer Dwight Hill concludes with the meaning behind the album title, “With years comes life lived. A life willed with love and joy, sadness, tragedy and loss. Rooms within us with their own unique decor, and spirits that keep them alive. Rooms for us to move in and out of when we find moments of pause or unconsciously in our dreams. ‘Ghost In Every Room’ is a collection of songs that dig up ghosts from the past, with hopes that sharing them will finally bring them peace.”

Giving fans an inside look at the sonic violence driving the new material, vocalist Joakim Mikiver explains the inspiration behind the band’s lead single:
"The song 'Chainsaw Cult' is a celebration of the HM-2 pedal, which is a pillar stone in the Swedish Old School Death Metal scene. It’s all about the Death Metal Cvlt. This song is our way to pay tribute to the music that we all grew up listening to."
