Eora/Sydney-based alternative-metal band Aurateque has unveiled their new single Renegade.
Renegade immediately captures listeners with layers of guitar-fuelled chaos and frenetic drums. The biting vocals of frontwoman Lauren Coleman explore her powerhouse range that shifts from soaring screams to growling whispers. The resonant bridge expands into a hefty breakdown dripping with intensity, before delicately folding out into a heartfelt outro and grand finale.
Aurateque talk about the meaning behind Renegade: “‘Renegade’ is about violence, anger and the pain behind the violent masque. Lauren grew up in a very hostile environment as a child and although she left quite young, she didn’t leave completely unscathed. As she grew older, it was a harder pill to swallow to see a human being behind the abuser and to understand that the violence only came from a deep sadness that her family could never escape. The only way to escape these cycles of pain is to truly face yourself. ‘Renegade’, much like every Aurateque song, has helped heal these scars.”
