Aurora Black (11/1/12)



Aurora Black was a pretty well known, up and coming blackened death metal band from West Covina, CA. They have released three full lengths and an EP before disappearing into the darkness after 2008. The group first gathered in 2003 where later that year they recorded their debut full length The Silence Between Notes. They played local shows with bands from the area such as ExMortus, The Nauseating Stab and Antagonist.

By 2005, they had honed their sound and hit the studio to record Buried In The Sea which I feel is their best release personally. It captured the heaviness and sheer ferocity of death metal and the coldness and speed of black metal. After two years, they returned to record the EP Rest In Fire. The release was their first signed release on OMC Records.

In 2008, the group released their best work to date. The album was titled And The Skies Dreamed Infinite Sorrow which was released through OMC Records. The album showcased the band's full growth and potential that they had been working on. Tracks like Before The Sun Was Created, And The Skies Dreamed Infinite Sorrow and Lake of Organs were the singles from the release.
