╠═════════════════════════════[RELEASE.NOTES]═════════════════════════════╣
║ ║
║ Canadian metalcore band The Luminary is one of the newest bands to ║
║ come out of Ontario. Kyle, Jake, Alex, and Chad have just released ║
║ their latest EP, Collective Unconscious through It Djents and has ║
║ already hit the ground running. ║
║ ║
║ The Luminary formed when the members previous bands broke up around ║
║ the same time. After going through a list of dozens of potential ║
║ band names, it was eventually narrowed down until they just went ║
║ with what we (The Luminary) felt represented out sound most. ║
║ ║
║ The Luminary pulls influence from a range of bands that go from ║
║ Volumes, Structures, Architects, Tesseract, Bring Me the Horizon, ║
║ Northlane, Monuments, Intervals and Misery Signals to Snarky Puppy, ║
║ American Football, Circa Survive, Karnivool, and The Story So Far. ║
║ ║
║ They describe their sound as groovy metalcore with some ambiance and ║
║ super melodic parts thrown in for good measure. They always try to ║
║ keep a balance between heavy and melodic riffs while they're writing ║
║ allowing them to create a sound that can reach out to a wider ║
║ audience. ║
║ ║
║ Their new EP came together very slowly at first. The Luminary ║
║ explains how the first couple of songs we wrote never ended up on ║
║ the EP, as we werenÆt happy with their overall sound. Once we got ║
║ closer to a sound we were happy with, the writing process went much ║
║ more quickly. ║
║ ║
║ To actually create each song, they usually start off with a riff ║
║ that Kyle or Jake has written. [They] then record it in Pro Tools ║
║ and carve out the song from there. Generally, drums and bass will ║
║ come next, followed by vocals. [They] have nights where [they'll] ║
║ all meet up and work on a song together, refining the music as a ║
║ group. ║
║ ║
║ So far, the release of Collective Unconscious has been extremely ║
║ positive. They've received a ton of good feedback and they're amazed ║
║ by the sheer number of people that have checked it all out. ║
║ ║
║ As a relatively new band in their local scene, they're extremely ║
║ supportive of the other up and coming bands in Ontario. The Luminary ║
║ cites SINTHETIK, The Healing, Wind Cries Mary, The Truth Today, and ║
║ Falsifer as just a few of the talented bands that surround them. ║
║ ║
║ Their dream tour would include Volumes, Structures, Monuments, The ║
║ Afterimage, Auras, really any of the bands that influence [them] ║
║ would be amazing to tour with. TheyÆd love to hit up all of Canada ║
║ and the United States. ║
║ ║
║ If The Luminary were given the opportunity to collaborate with ║
║ anyone, each member of the band has their own idea in mind. Alex ║
║ would pick Diego from Volumes because he always seems to know what ║
║ makes a song catchy, Kyle would choose Anup Sastry, Jake would pick ║
║ Karl Schuback because his solo stuff with Solace and everything he ║
║ puts out with Misery Signals is great, and Chad would pick Sonny ║
║ Moore because 'dubstep djent!' ║
