Black Metal thrashers AURA NOIR will release their sixth full-length titled "Aura Noire" on April 27th via Indie Recordings. In addition to the album, AURA NOIR will be on their 'Demoniac Flow' tour from May 4th to May 11th - more info & dates below.
A band geared towards Thrash connoisseurs with active minds and mean spirits, AURA NOIR stand at the fore of Metal’s definitive genre in an age where the underground is utterly besotted with bands. These Norwegian Thrash stalwarts don’t so much tread the line between savagery and sophistication as stomp upon it, showering dirt in the faces of lesser acts with each smoldering crater of an album.
With "Aura Noire", a title which quite distinctly resembles their band name, AURA NOIR churns through some of the most refreshing, yet nostalgic tracks of Thrash Metal ever to be heard. The album opens with probably one of the most retrospect of riffs, but suddenly summersaults you into the gloriously dissonant and immersive AURA NOIR atmosphere. The soaring and burning shouts of Aggressor intensely glues the otherwise quite varied and playful guitar riffs and drums together, culminating into the essence of Thrash that is AURA NOIR.
The band comments: "We’ve been working on this album for more than three years. We feel we sound more like ourselves than ever. Our condolences."
