Aura Shatter

Rock-metal with soft-rock melody, mid-tempo and swaggering, driving palm-muted guitars in verses and wide power chords in choruses; verse stays tight and gritty, pre-chorus lifts with tom fills and stacked harmonies, chorus opens into an anthemic half-time chant. Lead vocal is smoky and close-mic in verses, doubled and snarling on hooks, with whispered ad-libs and gang shouts. Ear candy: reverse cymbal swells into each chorus, a brief stop-time before the title line, and a final high guitar harmonic. Bright, punchy, and stadium-sized with polished low end., light, rock, metal, soft rock
