AURA NOIR Working On New Material

January 28, 2008

Bassist/vocalist Apollyon (real name: Ole Jørgen Moe) of the Norwegian black/thrash metal band AURA NOIR has issued the following update:

"Yes, it's still studio action in my basement. It turns out we have so much material that we're going to release an EP or whatever first; probably a couple of months from now, and then the full-length after summer, which probably means September.

"Anyway we're obviously anxious to release the shite, hoping to death it will sound necro enough. It's of course fucked that it's taking so long and it's all my fault because I've spent too much time building the studio. But at least now it's up and running, so no more excuses.The next thing you'll hear from us is hopefully metal! A couple of song titles include: 'Hades Rise', 'The Stalker' and 'Brazilian Death'."

AURA NOIR was formed in 1993 by Aggressor (real name: Carl-Michael Eide) and Apollyon , who sent out a couple of demos before releasing the underground EP "Dreams Like Deserts" in 1995. In 1996, they were joined by MAYHEM guitarist Blasphemer (real name: Rune Eriksen),who contributed to "Black Thrash Attack", the band's first full-length CD.

In 2004, AURA NOIR became the first band to be signed to Tyrant Syndicate Productions, a sub-label of Peaceville Records run by Nocturno Culto and Fenriz of DARKTHRONE). They released their next album, "The Merciless", which featured Nattefrost of CARPATHIAN FOREST and Fenriz on guest vocals.
