AVRALIZE - liminal AVRALIZE

Emerging from the heart of southern Germany, AVRALIZE have quickly become one of the most exciting new forces in modern metalcore. With their explosive blend of razor-sharp riffs, cinematic electronics, and emotionally raw vocals, the band has captured the attention of fans and tastemakers across the scene — and they’re only just getting started.

Their debut album FREAKS, released via Arising Empire in March 2024, made a seismic impact. Racking up over 5 million Spotify streams to date, the record is more than just a breakout — it’s a battle cry for a generation of outsiders. Across eight tracks, FREAKS dives deep into themes of trauma, anxiety, alienation, and defiance. With standout singles like “LOTUS,” “HIGHER,” “BRIGHT,” and “STAB BY STAB,” the band crafted a sound that’s as heavy as it is haunting, as technical as it is anthemic. Every track feels like a gut punch wrapped in melody — designed to make you move, scream, and feel.

Formed by four longtime friends — frontman Severin Sailer, guitarist Philipp Tenberken, drummer Bastian Gölz, and bassist Valentin Noack — AVRALIZE didn’t take long to make their mark. From early stages at Southside and Hurricane Festival to opening for genre heavyweights like Ghostkid and Novelists, their high-octane live shows and unshakable DIY ethos earned them respect on and off stage.

Following the success of FREAKS, the band wasted no time in pushing forward. They’ve already released four new singles — “UPSIDE DOWN,” “HELIUM,” “WANDERLUST,” and the darkly captivating “CLOSE TO YOU” — teasing what’s to come on their highly anticipated sophomore album, set for release on November 11th, 2025. These new tracks show a band unafraid to evolve, diving into moodier atmospheres and cyber-metalcore territory while maintaining their trademark emotional weight.

This summer, AVRALIZE are set to light up some of the biggest stages in Europe, with Wacken Open Air, Summer Breeze, Reload, Fallen Fortress, Metalacker, and Pell Mell Festival all on the books — a testament to their growing status as one of Germany’s most talked-about heavy acts.

And as if that weren’t enough, the band will hit the road this fall for their first headlining tour, bringing their explosive live energy to fans across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland:

AVRALIZE are more than a metalcore band. They are a sonic rebellion — a call to arms for the misfits, the misunderstood, the freaks. With their relentless energy, genre-defying songwriting, and a debut record that already solidified their spot on the map, this band is poised to take over Europe and beyond.

If you’re looking for the future of heavy music — one that balances chaos with clarity, rage with redemption — look no further than AVRALIZE. The freaks have arrived, and they’re here to stay.
