The Brave all believe in auras

The Brave have released the music video for Burn, a track taken from their brand new album Aura and released on UNFD.

From the raging urgency of Above The Clouds, to the swirling guitars and melodic vocals on Ethereal, the LP is a bold and delicate blend described by Hysteria Magazine as “gritty, vulnerable and full of visceral emotion”.

Vocalist Nathan Toussaint explains that The Brave wanted to celebrate the spirit of connection on their anticipated second album.

Toussaint also explained that the Brisbane metalcore mob believe in the supernatural, and that their latest piece of work was inspired by that believe.

“We all believe in auras, whether it be the auras that surround the people we meet during our travels, or the ones surrounding the places we visit either on tour or in our personal lives,” he revealed.

The singer went on to say that it’s these feelings, these emotions and these unexplained gut instincts that keep drawing folks back to places – or drawling people towards each other.

“It’s these same auras that draw us back to these places we visit or allow us to develop relationships with new people we meet and connect with along the way,” said Toussaint.

The Brave also want to create tunes that resonate with their fans and make connections, and Toussaint carried on to say: “The same applies to the music we write and the aura that it carries with it.”

Burn is a song that chronicals loss and deals with a very personal situation for the band – who tried to be subtle with the lyrics and create more of a theme around the track.

“This is a song that deals with loss, whether that’s the loss of a relationship, or the death of a person,” said Toussaint.

“For us, it touches on dealing with the situation of a person close to us who was going through some incredibly tough times with a family member. As the song came together we tried not to be too obvious in what the lyrics were about, and opted for a more overarching theme of loss and learning to let go,” concluded the vocalist.

Formed in 2013, The Brave quickly started spinning heads when their 2014 EP Endless captured their particular brand of lightning in a bottle.

Their critically acclaimed debut full-length Epochfollowed in 2016, which won plaudits worldwide from the likes of BBC Radio 1, Kerrang!, triple j and more.

Threading universal themes of change, love and loss throughout with poise and command, Aura takes that groundwork and builds on it in striking fashion.
