About the Artist
ALBORN is a powerhouse alternative metal band from the Midwest U.S., blending raw intensity with undeniable melodic hooks. Known for their blue-collar stage presence, sticky choruses, and high-energy performances, the band has built a reputation for delivering heavy, memorable songs both on record and on stage.
They’ve toured and shared stages with Shinedown, Sevendust, Nonpoint, All That Remains, Buckcherry, Powerman 5000, and more, steadily carving out their place in modern rock. Their debut EP Impairative (2020) earned rotation on SiriusXM Octane and rock radio nationwide, while follow-up singles like “Full Circle” and “Hindsight” kept that momentum moving forward.
