Texas shoegazers Trauma Ray have announced their debut LP "Chameleon" set for release on October 25, 2024 via Dais Records. The album follows a series of EP's containing 12 brand new tracks continuing their three guitar attack, a force to behold, alternately surging, savage and spectral, drenched in precision distortion. The core songwriting duo of Uriel Avila and Jonathan Perez have expanded and refined the project’s vision and craft with the songs on their new LP. Rounded out by bassist Darren Baun, drummer Nicholas Bobotas, and guitarist Coleman Pruitt, the album both synthesizes and transcends its influences, a stormy fusion of downer hooks, apocalyptic beauty, and bulldozer riffs. Lead single “Bishop”, available on streaming platforms now, perfectly encapsulates trauma ray’s depth and dimension, ripping out of the gate with “the biggest, baddest, saddest wall of sound.” Lyrics about being burnt at the stake and “tossed in the flame” dance above a stop-start assault of precision distortion, eventually expanding into a lush, heavy, sorrowful end coda. Uri tells, “I grew up in a pretty religious setting. Sin, guilt, and penance have always been themes that have stuck with me since a very young age. The fear of hell and fire was instilled in me when I was in my most malleable state and the lyrics to this song tie to that period of my life." Check out the new single below and make sure to pre-order the new LP.
