AURA NOIR

Release Year: 2012
Artist Origin: NOR
Style: merciless violent black thrash metal

less known yet one of the essential records, the second full-length [1998] by the mighty old school black/thrash metal cult follows the dirty formula of eighties extreme metal - at the time some bands, especially those from South America, had limited abilities while recording their music, yet eventually it has evolved into a separate specific subgenre, which the one and only Aura Noir keeps supporting on the brink of new millennium; they manifest the ugliest, deadliest, the most aggressive and dangerous metal ever known to men: this record was accomplished by Appolyon and Aggressor [Ved Buens Ende] alone, as Blasphemer was busy with Mayhem touring back in summer, while Garm from Ulver is involved as the sound engineer; recent British black vinyl edition comes with a remastered sound, featuring Mirage and The Rape cuts as bonuses
