Aura Noir Out To Die Vinyl

THE 2012 OPUS FROM NORWEGIAN BLACK THRASH PIONEERS AURA NOIR, NOW ON PEACEVILLE. INCLUDES REMASTERED AUDIO, AND PRESENTED ON BLACK VINYL. Norway's Aura Noir was formed in 1993 by Aggressor & Apollyon in pursuit of a more thrash-based form of black metal than much of what was coming out at the time - particularly in their homeland - citing bands such as Slayer, Sodom & Kreator as inspirations along with purveyors of the scene such as Venom, for a dirtier, stripped down, violent black/thrash metal sound. Their first official release was the 'Dreams Like Deserts' EP on Hot Records, and from there-on the band became a truly cult act, releasing a string of albums among ongoing live performances over the subsequent decades. All members of Aura Noir have had illustrious careers to date, with Carl-Michael Eide (Aggressor) notable for his work in Ved Buens Ende, Dødheimsgard, Virus, and Fleurety, as well as being part of other scene icons such as Ulver and Satyricon in their formative years. Apollyon, currently also seen in Coffin Storm with Darkthrone's Fenriz, previously featured in Dødheimsgard, as well as Lamented Souls and Immortal. Completing the trio is Blasphemer, formerly of fellow Norwegian legends Mayhem, as well as being current mainman in his recently established band, Ruïm. Originally released in 2012, ‘Out to Die’ was the band’s fifth full length release, and a continuation of the savage raw and ugly feast offered by its predecessors, containing eight relentless tracks in praise of the old thrash masters and early primal black metal forefathers of the 80’s. ‘Out to Die’ features additional guest lyrics by Dirge Rep (Gehenna/Enslaved), and Fenriz, whilst the fittingly underground cover art was created by the prolific artist, Costin Chioreanu. This edition of ‘Out to Die’ contains newly remastered audio courtesy of Jack Control/Maor Appelbaum, and is presented on black vinyl, including printed inner sleeve with lyrics.
