“This is Rock n Roll at its most fucked-up and malicious” - Kerrang

Norway’s Aura Noir was formed in 1993 by Aggressor & Apollyon in pursuit of a dirtier thrashier 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. Their first official release was the Dreams Like Deserts EP on Hot Records in 1994, and from there-on the band has become a cult act.

Picking up where 2004’s highly-rated THE MERCILESS (the first ever release on Darkthrone’s Peaceville sub-label Tyrant Syndicate) left off & after a series of successful live dates in support of that album comes the new release, ‘Hades Rise’, undoubtedly the band’s dirtiest & biggest hammer to the face to date, embracing the spirit of bands like Venom.

With the ever-present dynamic duo of Apollyon (Immortal, ex Cadaver, ex-DHG) and Aggressor (Virus, ex-Cadaver, ex-DHG, ex-Ved Buens Ende) serving up an overdose of headpounding chaos, the album is pure, relentless Aura Noir at their finest.

Recorded & produced by the band themselves in Apollyon’s cellar studio, ‘Hades Rise’ also contains guest appearances from Danny Coralles (Autopsy, Abscess) & Blasphemer (ex-Mayhem).

Still truly the ugliest band in the world!
