The Autumn Aurora release debut single ‘Plastic Altar’ on Volcano Records
Italian post-punk and darkwave band The Autumn Aurora release their debut single “Plastic Altar” on June 26, 2026 via Volcano Records.
The Autumn Aurora “Plastic Altar” is the debut single from the Italian post-punk and darkwave band The Autumn Aurora, released on June 26, 2026 through Volcano Records. The “Plastic Altar” single arrives across digital platforms with an official music video.
The Autumn Aurora bring a post-punk and darkwave sound built on a rare lineup of two bass guitars, keyboards and drums, with a central passage that turns toward doom metal. The band cites Joy Division, The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees among its reference points.
‘Plastic Altar’: the debut single
“Plastic Altar” streams on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Bandcamp, SoundCloud and Tidal. The band recorded, mixed and mastered the track at GreenMountainAudio Studio with Danilo Silvestri, and centres the song on a “painful awakening” — the moment someone who has waited at an altar for a miracle realizes it will not come.
