Over the past few months, Aurorawave has released a string of breakout singles, “Tibetan Sky Burial” (Ft. Frankie Palmeri of Emmure), “Throwing Shade” (Ft, Jesse Royal), “Turn The Page,” “Villain,” “Suffocate” and “Judge Me” (Ft. Aaron Gillespie of Underoath) 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.“

About Aurorawave:

Aurorawave is a boundary-pushing rock band recognized for pioneering a distinct sound they term reggaecore — a fusion of heavy guitar-driven intensity and rhythmic influences drawn from reggae. Their music integrates aggressive, groove-oriented arrangements with emotionally charged lyricism, resulting in a style that is both musically intricate and viscerally accessible.

Formed with the intention of absolute authenticity, Aurorawave established a clear identity with their self-titled debut album. The project featured notable collaborations with members of The Ghost Inside, Atreyu, and Attila, introducing the band’s hybrid sound to a broad spectrum of alternative and heavy music audiences. Their debut positioned them as emerging voices with the versatility to operate across multiple subcultures within the rock and reggae landscapes.

In 2025, the band unveiled Monument, a decisive step forward in their evolution. The album brings together an eclectic and high-profile group of collaborators, including Aaron Gillespie (Underoath), Frankie Palmeri (Emmure), Left To Suffer, Ekoh, Jesse Royal, The Movement, and Kumar Fyah. Monument expands the band’s sonic framework while retaining the emotional weight and urgency that define their approach. The result is a record that is both thematically cohesive and musically diverse.

Known for their dynamic live performances, Aurorawave has developed a reputation for translating studio complexity into high-impact, crowd-responsive sets. Their ability to connect across genre lines has earned them placements on varied lineups and growing support from fans of alternative rock, metalcore, and modern reggae.

Aurorawave represents a deliberate convergence of influences — not as an aesthetic novelty, but as a fully realized artistic direction. Their work continues to resonate with audiences seeking depth, intensity, and innovation in contemporary rock.
