Tampa, FL (Top40 Charts/ Tragic Hero Records) The five-piece punk/thrash group Illuminate Me will be releasing their new album I have Become a Corpse via Tragic Hero Records on July 15th. Today you can stream the full record on Revolver. The tracks include guest vocalists Garret Rapp (The
Color Morale), Landon Tewers (The Plot In You), and Jerry Roush (Glass Cloud)
"The album is filled with pissed off, angst-ridden tracks that will have you losing your voice from screaming them at the top of your lungs!" - New-Transcendence
"We have spent countless months, weeks, and hours on this album to make it close to perfect in our eyes," says vocalist
Christopher Murray. "It shows how much we have grown since our EP Crawlspace and how we've expanded the idea that this band is more than just a band. For us it's a movement and we hope you can join us to illuminate the world."
The overall theme of the album tells a story of someone who gave up all their passions and dreams for the sake of others. This person is seeking another's approval or happiness while neglecting their own. If you'd like to hear where this story goes, pre-order the record and while you're at it, you can pick up exclusive merch from the band here.

About Illuminate Me:
Illuminate Me is a 5-piece Punk/Metalcore act based across Tampa and Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The band originated as a beginning studio project under the brothers, Chris and Corey Jacobsen, to work on mixing and writing.
Christopher Murray (ex-Sailing With Ghosts) contacted the band after hearing their music online. He added his own vocals to the recordings and after sending them to the group they knew they had found the right voice for their songs. The trio then released their debut EP titled Crawlspace digitally. This caught the attention of the South Florida music scene so the three decided to add more members and make it a full live band.
Kevin Hatton and Anthony Burke then joined along and performed across all of Florida and the Southeastern states putting on a live show that would be deemed "intense" and "energetic" by their peers. Their debut LP I Have Become a Corpse will be released via Tragic Hero Records on July 15th and features some of the best guest vocalists in the business such as Garret Rapp (The
Color Morale), Jerry Roush (Glasscloud), and Landon Tewers (The Plot In You). You can catch Illuminate Me on tour throughout 2014.
