Aura Noire merges black metal with symphonic elements from Belfort since 2013, their French-Latin name meaning "black aura" perfectly describing the dark atmosphere that envelops their sound. Over a decade of activity reflects sustained commitment in the Territoire de Belfort.
Aura of Pestilence has been delivering thrash metal from the southern Finnish town of Lohja since 2014, surrounding everything in their path with an infectious sonic contamination. Their plague-themed approach brings pathological intensity to the Uusimaa thrash scene.
Denver metalcore project. The name evokes primordial energy fields — fitting for a band channeling Colorado's elemental power through aggressive modern metal.
Aura Scent is a death/thrash metal band with progressive elements hailing from Osório, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2021. Operating in the extreme underground of southern Brazil, they blend the aggression of death and thrash metal with progressive song structures, a combination relatively rare in their coastal Rio Grande do Sul home city.
St. George, Utah groove metal, NWOTHM, and nu metal hybrid with two albums since 2015. Their second album, simply titled UTAH, declares their geographic identity with defiant pride — heavy metal forged in the red rock desert near Zion National Park.
Auraal blends black and folk metal from the Finnish underground since 2021, weaving traditional elements through extreme metal's dark fabric. Their approach channels the ancient musical traditions of the Finnish countryside through the lens of black metal's ferocity.
Aural Butchery has practiced grindcore from Burgos since 2012, their name promising the sonic slaughter their blastbeat-driven compositions deliver. From the Gothic cathedral city of Castile, they bring medieval ferocity to modern extreme music.
Greenville, South Carolina stoner metal project whose 2023 debut Thousand Petals brings organic, blooming imagery to fuzzy heaviness. Upstate South Carolina's contribution to the stoner metal garden.
Auralophobia creates raw black metal from an undisclosed Norwegian location since 2020. Named after the fear of gold — or perhaps a play on 'aural phobia,' the fear of sound — their lo-fi approach embraces the discomfort their name implies.
