Aurora Borealis
Aurora Borealis is essentially a one-man affair, with
Ron Vento striking out on his own after a previous
stint with a Georgia-based death metal band.
The man must have connections, since no less than
three well-known death metal drummers have played
on the albums recorded here.
Musically, Aurora Borealis is one of those death/black
metal hybrids, with Vento's vocals slanting toward
black and the riffing and drumming siding a bit toward
death metal.
There's an above-average degree of technicality here,
as Vento is a solid guitarist and an adventuresome
songwriter.
The songs mix both technicality and brutality quite
well -- this is a fine band well worth investigation.
