On this episode Brian is joined by Alex Raser from Alborn.

 

Formed in 2016, Northern Illinois based alternative metal band Alborn consists of Justin Taylor [guitar/lead vocals], Alex Raser [Drums/vocals], Zame Lewis [bass] and Nate Guske [guitar/vocals]. Their sound has been compared to Deftones or a heavier version of Alice in Chains. But, make no mistake, Alborn has created something unique, hard and melodic.

 

On 24th Febreuary Alborn released the EP "Push" via Pavement Entertainment. Push features four songs. The first three were produced by Chris Collier and James “Fluff” Harley Harley of CMC21 Productions, who have worked with Korn, and the fourth song was produced by Morgan Rose and Jose Urquiza. Lead singer and guitarist Justin Taylor says, “The pandemic showed us that time is too precious to play it safe, or write what we think people want to hear. On this EP, we've represented who we are, what we stand for, and why we stand for it. For that, we are prouder than we've ever been with the outcome.”

 

Alborn are currently on the road for 18 days providing direct support to Powerman 5000.

Alborn

Formed in 2016, Northern Illinois based alternative metal band Alborn consists of Justin Taylor [guitar/lead vocals], Alex Raser [Drums/vocals], Zame Lewis [bass] and Nate Guske [guitar/vocals].

Alborn released their debut EP, “Impairative” in 2020. Follow up singles “Full Circle”, “Cause to Create” and “Hindsight” took them through 2021 and had initial success including Spotify's “Rock Hard” playlist, SiriusXM Octane, Music Choice as well as terrestrial radio rotation.

​Entering 2022, the band was invited to again join Sevendust and Plush on a run of New Year’s shows in the southeast. "It was everything we could have hoped for. Sevendust's fanbase are true die-hards and they travel all over to see the shows, so to be welcomed in by them, especially in 7D's hometown, on NYE was surreal." – Justin Taylor.

​To round out 2022, the band buckled down, did more writing and flew to Las Vegas to work with Chris Collier and James “Fluff” Harley. This dynamic production duo was fresh off working with Korn on their ‘Requiem’ album. There, Alborn recorded 3 songs, ‘Push’, ‘Learn to Live’ and ‘Even Numbers’. These 3 songs are being packaged with a 4th song, ‘Ten T… Read More
