Aurorawave debut fresh single “Judge Me” featuring Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie

SoCal’s rising reggaecore juggernaut aurorawave has revealed the latest single, “Judge Me,” from their eagerly anticipated sophomore album, “Monument”, which will be released August 15th with Ineffable Records. The album’s lead track pairs the guest vocals of Aaron Gillespie from Underoath with the band’s mesmerizing amalgam of reggae, alternative rock and metalcore that’s captivating fans around the world.

Commenting on the new track, frontman Nathan Aurora says: 

‘Judge Me’ is yet another bread and butter aurorawave track. A perfect blend between melodic yet heavy metalcore and reggae-rock energy in a way that feels raw and honest to who we are. Having Aaron on the track is a real honor. He’s been a major influence on me as long as I can remember and to have his voice on this song makes it that much more powerful.

aurorawave’s “Judge Me” is the latest in a string of breakout singles, “Tibetan Sky Burial” (Ft. Frankie Palmeri of Emmure), “Throwing Shade” (Ft, Jesse Royal), “Turn The Page,” “Villain” and “Suffocate.” that have propelled the band on a skyrocketing trajectory, as they trailblaze a new, refreshing reggae-rock-metal infusion for a new generation of fans.

Commenting on the upcoming album, frontman Nathan Aurora says: 

I’ve been making music now for 22 years, and throughout my career, there’s only been a few times when I felt like I made a perfect album. This is one of them for sure. I poured every ounce of myself into this album, my struggles, my triumphs, and every single one of my musical inspirations. There’s reggae, – a genre that helped to mold me into who I am today, and the guests within the album that come from the reggae world are my favorites in the game. And of course, there’s metal. The music that was my foundation in the first place. And with the heavy stuff, I really feel like we found our stride on this record. The tones are chunkier, the breakdowns slam harder and the energy is high the whole way through.’ Monument’ is a journey. Not just through different musical landscapes, but through different emotions that I think all humans feel in one way or another: Pain, resentment, joy, hope and freedom. Thanks for listening.
