"Thank you to every person that has taken the time to support us thus far," says vocalist
Christopher Murray. "Whether it be coming to a show, listening to a song online, buying a cd, or just helping us out on the road. We wouldn't be this far without all of your help and we feel so very humbled and blessed every day that people care about what we're doing. With that being said, we really hope you enjoy the album and share it with any of your friends to hear. This album will make you want to start a mosh pit in your bedroom or jump off your fridge. No gimmicks, just pure aggression."
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, 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.
