Heliospectrum [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Forget Nickelback and Justin Bieber: the United States neighbor to the North, Canada, blessed the world with Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame inductees RUSH, progmetal pioneers Voivod, metalcore madmen Protest The Hero, and death metal stalwarts Gorguts and Kataklysm. Yes, AURAS come from a national soil rich with heavy music innovation.

HELIOSPECTRUM is the first full length offering from the Canadian upstarts, produced by Anthony Calabretta (Stereos, Abandon All Ships), with engineering/editing by Cameron McLellan (Protest The Hero, Intervals). It's the inevitable culmination of years spent perfecting their sonic alchemy in basements, clubs, theaters and rehearsal rooms, honing a juxtaposition of unrelenting heaviness, complex riffery and ambiance.
