Their resume includes sharing the stage with Shinedown, All That Remains, Sevendust, Nonpoint, Badflower, Powerman 5000, Buckcherry, Adelitas Way, Gemini Syndrome, Plush and others. ALBORN is known for bringing a tight, high energy performance. Every. Single. Show.

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.

To round out 2022, the band 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". A 4th song, 'Ten Times" was then added to form the EP, Push, which the band put out through Pavement Entertainment (Sony / The Orchard)in early 2023.

In March 2023, ALBORN hit the road for 18 days providing direct support to Powerman 5000 while ALBORN’s new single, “Push” started at radio. The single was a big hit, even charting on Billboard's Top 40 for Mainstream Rock.

In 2024, to follow up their incredible success, ALBORN again went to Las Vegas to join Collier and Harley. This time the team recorded 4 songs the band feels is the best brand of ALBORN yet. The first of these, “A Little Less Than Expected (Show Me)” releases 8/9/24. To support this, the band is continuing to rock the Midwest including Rockfest in Cadott, WI and providing direct support to All That Remains in East Moline, IL.

Alternative metal band, ALBORN, released a brand new single titled "HINDSIGHT"to all digital outlets via Imagen Records. In addition, the band has announced new show dates for this summer!

Northern Illinois based alternative metal band, Alborn has a sound that 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.

Alborn is made up of Justin Taylor [guitar/vocals], Alex Raser [Drums/vocals], Zame Lewis [bass] and Nate Guske [guitar/vocals]. They formed in 2016 as a rock cover band but decided in 2018 to leave their cover band roots behind and focus on their originals.

In early 2020, Alborn played to a huge Quad City crowd at the Rust Belt with Buckcherry and Adelitas Way plus multiple shows with Sevendust, including a Champaign, IL sellout. This all has led to Alborn signing a distribution deal with Imagen Records and ADA (Warner Music). Their first single, "Full Circle", received airplay locally and nationally, including Sirius XM's Octane and landing on Spotify's editorial "Rock Hard" playlist. Alborn’s second single, "Cause to Create" came out in late January 2021 and saw very similar success.

“Hindsight” is the next single, releasing June 25th and is the next chapter of Alborn. "We recently spent a lot of time reflecting on what we have created over the last few years and solidifying what it is that we want to be. We feel Hindsight is the best representation of our sound and style at this very moment." - Justin Taylor (Lead Vocals/Guitar)

The band’s fanbase is strong, travels relentlessly and grows with every performance. Alborn is currently making touring plans for late 2021. So far, they have already shared the stage with Badflower and Goodbye June and have dates on the calendar with the likes of Shinedown, Sevendust, Otherwise, Tommy Vext, Hinderand more.

Upcoming Shows:

6/29/21 East Moline, IL - Rust Belt with Sevendust
7/2/21 Iowa City, IA - Wildwood Smokehouse & Saloon with Tantric
7/13/21 Joliet, Il - The Forge with Tommy Vext of Bad Wolves

Alternative metal band, ALBORN, released a brand new single titled "Cause To Create" to all digital outlets via Imagen Records.

January 25, 2021

The song was produced by Morgan Rose,
co-produced and engineered by Jose Urquiza at The Attic Recording Studios, mixed by James "Fluff" Harley and mastered by Vlado Meller.

"We wrote Cause To Create about someone not only getting in the way of your own decisions, but making those decisions for you. I think the pandemic has left everyone feeling vulnerable and angry, and we wanted to paint that picture from our perspective." says Justin Taylor (Lead Vocals, Guitar).

“ALBORN RULES!” is a common war cry heard at any Midwestern Alborn show. The band’s fanbase is strong, travels relentlessly and grows with every performance.

Formed in 2016, Northern Illinois based alternative metal band Alborn consists of Justin Taylor (guitar/vocals), Alex Raser (drums/vocals), Zame Lewis (bass) and Nate Guske (guitar). 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.

As a startup, Alborn existed only as a cover band under the name of Alborn Theory, but that’s not who they wanted to be. “I was working 70+ hours a week and my band was playing 4 hour shows ALL the time,” says Justin. The band shortened the name to Alborn and got to work creating the band they always envisioned. The hard labor paid off and resulted in them winning multiple Battle of the Bands competitions. For one of those, the grand prize was a studio session with Jose Urquiza of the band 3 Years Hollow and The Attic Recording Studios. As part of that session, another opportunity surfaced. Morgan Rose of Sevendust heard the demos and expressed interest in producing them.

As a result, in late 2018, Alborn tracked 10 original songs with Morgan and Jose. “I was brought in to do some producing with Alborn and what grabbed my attention immediately was that they refused to conform to a formula. They wanted to be themselves from the start. It’s rare to find a band so young not wanting to follow an easy trend. I was impressed right out of the gate," says Morgan Rose.

After tracking those 10 songs, Alborn started playing every live show they could and the fanbase just kept growing. In late 2019 and early 2020, Alborn started making moves. The band played a weekend of shows with Sevendust including a Champaign, IL, sellout. They then followed that up with sold out shows with Buckcherry and Adelitas Way. The momentum was building and so was the chatter. So much so, Imagen Records was interested in signing them. Meetings with radio executives were scheduled in New York and then... Covid 19 put the plans on hold.

In August 2020, the band inked a distribution deal with Imagen Records (ADA, Warner Music)and released their debut EP, Impairative on August 28th, 2020. The EP contains 5 songs: 4 originals and one killer cover of Alice In Chains' "We Die Young."

Come October, Alborn followed Impairative by releasing their single “Full Circle” and it landed on Sirius XM Octane, Music Choice and the coveted “Rock Hard” Spotify editorial playlist. The band is poised to follow up this success with their next single, “Cause To Create” in January 2021 and there are many more singles to follow.

For now, the world is still dealing with a pandemic. But it too will pass. Which means, it’s a matter of time before touring starts again and you hear “ALBORN RULES!“ at a live show near you.

Upcoming Shows:
March 20th: Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds, Davenport, IA
June 5: Farmer City Heritage Days with Saliva & Tantric, Farmer City, IL

Alternative metal band, ALBORN, released a brand new single titled "Full Circle."

October 12, 2020

"Full Circle" can be streamed/downloaded at:

https://show.co/OJQqAe3

Alternative metal band, ALBORN, released a brand new single titled "Full Circle." The song was mixed by Elvis Baskette and produced by Jose Urqiuza (3 Years Hollow) and Morgan Rose (Sevendust).

The band recently signed a distribution deal with Imagen Records (ADA, Warner Music). and released their debut EP Impairative on August 28, 2020.

"One of the greatest things that can happen when it comes time to write lyrics for a song is when the song tells you what to say. This was absolutely the case with Full Circle. The song fed off so many emotions on it's own that it wrote itself lyrically. Full Circle is about getting stuck in a routine that keeps you from being what you want to be. Repetition is inevitable, but negative repetition is cancerous. It can be very difficult to step out of a comfort zone, but at some point we all have to understand that we deserve more in life" says Justin Taylor (Lead Vocals, Guitar).
