Split Level To Celebrate 25th Anniversary of 'Live' Album With One-Off Show & Digital Release

May 02 2023

Pioneering UK group Split Level were one of Europe’s flagship Christian Rock bands in the 80’s and 90’s. As previously reported on Louder Than The Music, they’re about to reform for a one off show in Germany next month, called CRN Reunion. To celebrate, they’ve remixed and remastered their 1999 Live album in stereo and Dolby Atmos, and will be releasing it on the weekend of the show, available for the first time on all digital streaming services.

This award-winning band influenced many European Christian artists with their energetic live performances. Having played alongside Christian and mainstream artists such as Steve Taylor, Altar Boys, Guardian, POD, Saxon, Doro, Larry Norman and many others, Split Level won the hearts of many at festivals and events.

For the first time, their Live album is being made available on digital platforms. Recorded live in Germany in 1998, now remixed and remastered to celebrate its 25th anniversary, Split Level Live encapsulates this pioneering Christian music act and includes the hit songs Julia, Healed and Holy Fire.

Split Level started off in the mid 1980’s playing Christian gatherings and festivals in Northern Ireland. In 1985 two of their songs appeared on a Word Records compilation ‘The Buzz on the Streets’. Their debut recording ‘Break The Chains’ was released in 1986 on Big Feet Records, followed by ‘Sons Of Liberty’ in 1987 on Word Records.

By now Split Level were playing concerts and festivals all over Europe, and so relocated to England and in 1991 they released ‘View Of A World’, on the German label Pila Records. Working with renowned producer Andy Piercy ‘Boomerang’ followed in 1992 to critical acclaim in the Christian music press and was named album of the year in 1993 in the European Christian Booksellers Journal.

The 1994 EP ‘Call Me White, Call Me Black’ was released to coincide with their ‘Artists Against Racism’ tour in Germany and in 1995 the band were hailed ‘Best Christian Rock Band’ by the European Christian Booksellers Journal.

The band signed with US label Pamplin Records and released the album ‘Glob.bal’ in 1997 and in 1999 they released their ‘Live’ album recorded at the Christmas Rock Night festival in Germany in 1998.
