sentient meat A friend sent me this track as a recommendation, and after a first listen it was an immediate purchase. Very happy with my impulse buy! Dark 80's synths pulse throughout the album and end up stuck in your head for days. Hard to pick a favourite as the whole album is very good. Favorite track: The Ruins (Hymne).

Eric Vegas The album gets better as you progress through it, and through subsequent listens as a whole. Lots of depth to each track. Reminds me of the atmosphere of Rush’s Grace Under Pressure album just without the “80’s” hooks. Favorite track: The Lightless Ones.

Martin FX .... album of the year.... Favorite track: Eidolon.

about

The ever-evolving quartet VAURA follows up their 2013 album “The Missing” almost six years later with “Sables,” their most refined and contemplative release yet. Introspective and somber, “Sables” finds the band shedding most of its post-metal heaviness in favor of experiments with brooding kosmische musik and the more avant-garde elements of new wave. Consisting of Josh Strawn (Azar Swan) on vocals, guitar and synthesizers, Kevin Hufnagel (Gorguts, Dysrhythmia) on guitar, Toby Driver (Kayo Dot) on bass, and Charlie Schmid (Tombs) on drums and electronics, VAURA engage ever more with their UK and German prog/art rock influences to grandiose and eerie effect. While still retaining the distinctive and specific style carved out on the band’s first two releases (“Selenelion” in 2010 and “The Missing” one year later) “Sables” is the all-vital third LP, a concise collection of meditative compositions on endings and extinctions. Brilliantly complemented by the mixing and production work of legendary UK producer Peter Walsh (Scott Walker, Peter Gabriel) VAURA have delivered their best sounding, most intricate and realized album yet.

BrutalDeath technique et mélodique, à deux voix, fondues dans l'ensemble, où rivalisent deux guitares très présentes et efficaces. Ce groupe n'entre pas dans mon Top10, mais ça n'empêche en rien la qualité de l'œuvre présente... et ce n'est que mon humble avis ! XD EklektikTrip
