Aurorawave announced that they will be embarking on their Monument Tour that is meant to celebrate the release of their full-length album Monument. Their special guest for this tour is Brace Yourself, and on select dates, they are supporting Rebelution! I’ve never personally listened to this band before, so I decided to listen to them as I wrote this press release to get a better feel of their sound. I find it rare that a band in the metal scene has a reggae sound to them, so that automatically intrigued me because I never heard a band like this before.

“Monument represents the biggest creative leap we’ve made yet,” says frontman Nathan Aurora. “This tour is the first time fans will get to feel the full experience — the energy, the visuals, and the new songs — live and unfiltered.”

“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.” – Nathan Aurora (Vocals)
