Los Angeles, California: Fraxures, the powerhouse five piece that emerged from the pandemic and has been carving an unmistakable groove ever since, today release the third single from their much anticipated new album Hexes - "a unique and unapologetic look into the darkest parts of the human condition from a personal perspective, showing the journey through shadows to find the smallest sparks of light guiding back to the sun.”
“Trauma Bond,” says frontman Travis Neal is based upon "being trauma bonded to someone. No matter how toxic the relationship is, the two cannot seem to break away from each other, yet they find no peace in each other’s presence. So the song outlines the push-pull of that relationship, being helplessly bonded through the chaos the two have built, and finally being able to break that bond and be free of the constant space of trauma that festers in the unity of the two people."

Formed in 2020 in southern California, Fraxures line up as: Neal (vocals), Fred Aching (drums), Vinny Marvaso (bass), Nolan Davis (guitar, vocals) and Esty Sanchez (guitar) - seasoned musicians from renowned acts such as William Shatner Band, Deadgroove, Kings Of Thrash, Divine Heresy, Powerflo, BillyBio, The Bloodline, and A Hero Within. he members’ shared passion for creating earth-shattering music saw FRΛXURES emerge as a force to be reckoned with, blending the raw energy of metal with a modern edge.
Their sound reflects their rich history, while carving a distinct path in the heavy music scene, reflected by the success of live performances alongside some of the biggest names in metal and alternative rock - Fear Factory, Snot, Taproot, Orbit Culture, Of Mice & Men and Unearth among them.
Fraxure’s first release, the critically acclaimed EP Firewater Sessions, was produced by legend Billy Graziadei of Biohazard. Showcasing the band’s ability to channel crushing riffs, soaring melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics into a cohesive sonic experience, it led to them joining the Cleopatra Records family last year, since when they have released two singles, “Blackheart Serenade" and "It’s No Good," a hit on into Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart.
Now Hexes is on the horizon, and for the band’s fans, its September 4 release date cannot arrive quickly enough, all the more so after the band announced “Grab the vinyl or deluxe CD to explore the deeper meaning of each track.”
In the meantime, we have “Trauma Bond” to occupy our time, while the band are also playing a handful of dates around its release.
