Official press release:
Denver, Colorado-based metalcore group Under Auburn Skies will release their blazing new EP, Diminisher of Hope, on July 17th, unveiling the record’s cover art, track listing, preorders, and a video for its lead single, “The Pale King”.
Under Auburn Skies carves their own sonic territory through a tempest of pummeling riffs and soaring melodies, drawing comparisons to the raw power of Polaris and the untamed intensity of Make Them Suffer. Through their 2018 Afterimage debut, subsequent 2021-released Invention of Reason EP, and more, the band has spent the past several years dominating their local scene. Beyond the studio, the band is known for their ferocious live energy on stage, having supported international acts including Born of Osiris, Norma Jean, Darkest Hour, Entheos, Mouth For War, Carnifex, Enterprise Earth, Fallujah, and many others.
Now, Under Auburn Skies is poised for a breakout with their upcoming Diminisher of Hope, the EP displaying a band firing on all cylinders. With a bleaker sound and more dejected lyrics, their newest material showcases a darker side of the band, while simultaneously raising the bar on their individual performances across the record’s six incinerating tracks. Diminisher of Hope’s drums were recorded by Nick Nodurft at Rusty Sun Studios, the guitars and bass by Emilio Lujan, and the vocals and additional guitars by Jaxon Stunden at The Blasting Room. The EP was mixed and mastered by Chris Wiseman at Chris Wiseman Recordings and completed with artwork by Róbert Horváth at Holo Dreamz Designs.
With a new release on the horizon and an unyielding drive to connect with fans, Under Auburn Skies is ready to unleash their sound upon the world.
The EP’s lead single, “The Pale King”, arrives through a bold video directed by Luke Ostermiller of Loste Films. Guitarist Oscar Morales writes:
“The video was a blast to film! We drove up north from Denver to a mostly abandoned cemetery that has graves from the 1700s and 1800s, so it was cool to see a huge jump in time from a lot of the tombstones we walked through. We also filmed this during the beginning of Fall last year for a fitting scenery that is a bit fitting with the theme of the song.”
Diminisher of Hope will be released digitally and on CD on July 17th. Find preorders at Bandcamp HERE, and presaves at Spotify HERE.
