Aura Noir/Aura Noire/Indie Recordings/2018 CD Review

  Norway's  Aura  Noir  have  returned  with  a  new  recording  which  continues  the  blackened  thrash  metal  style  of  previous  releases  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2018  album  "Aura  Noire"  which  will  be  released  on  April  28th  by  Indie  Recordings.

  A  very  heavy  80's  thrash  influenced  sound  starts  off  the  album  while  all  of  the  musical  instruments  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  along  with  the  vocals  being  done  in  a  very  angry  black  metal  style  that  has  traces  of  both  the  first  and  second  wave  style  as  well  as  updating  the  music  for  a  more  modern  era.

  When  the  music  speeds  up  a  decent  amount  of  blast  beats  can  also  be  heard  while  the  songs  also  bring  in  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  along  with  the  riffs  also  bringing  in  a  small  amount  of  melody  and  at  times  the  vocals  go  into  more  of  an  aggressive  thrash  direction  and  when  guitar  leads a re  utilized  they  also  remain  very  true  to  an  old  school  style  of  extreme  metal and  the  music  always  remains  heavy.

  Aura  Noir  creates  another  recording  that  remains  true  to  their  blackened  form  of  thrash,  the  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  evil,  blasphemy,  death and  darkness  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Aura  Noir  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  should  enjoy  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Dark  Lung  Of The  Storm" "Demoniac  Flow"  and  "Cold  Bone  Grasp".  8  out  of  10.

Aura Noir/Out To Die/Indie Recordings/2012 CD Review

  Aura Noir are a band from Norway that has been around since the 90's with the band members being established veterans in many bands out there that play a mixture of black and thrash metal and this is a review of their 2012 album "Out To Die" which was released by Indie Recordings.

Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a great amount of blast beats being thrown into the music, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars.

Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffs that combine black metal and thrash together while the lead guitars are very chaotic sounding guitar solos and leads in the mid 80's/early 90's tradition.

Vocals are a mixture of black metal and blackened thrash screams and growls, while the lyrics cover dark, hateful, satanic and anti religion themes, as for the production it has a very dark, heavy, raw and primitive sound.

In my opinion this is another great album from Aura Noir and if you where a fan of their previous recordings, you should enjoy this album as well. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Trenches" "Abbadon" and "Priest's Hellish Fiend". RECOMMENDED BUY.
