2) Hailing from Brazil, AURAS was formed in the beginning of 2007 by Gui Oliver (lead vocals) and Ferpa Lacerda (guitars). Tired of playing in cover bands and feeling that they were musically mature, both musicians decided to show the audience their own music.
The first song they wrote together “Hungry Hearts” was exposed to fans and selected press gathering excellent responses also from famous producers and musicians around the world. After the warm reception of “Hungry Hearts”, Gui Oliver and Ferpa Lacerda moved forward and recorded another few songs in order to find a label that could give them the chance to show the big audience their music.
During the recording process the great jazz drummer Edu Sallum, who had already played with Rafael Moreira (Pink, Christina Aguilera, Rockstar INXS, Paul Stanley), joined the band.
In 2008 the band had the chance to be face to face with their idols Jeff Scott Soto and Jimi Jamison when they opened their gig in Curitiba, AURAS hometown. When the band was on stage Jimi Jamison mentioned that AURAS songs took him back to the eighties and reminded him of the great bands of that period.
It was just a matter of time really and a few weeks later the band signed with Frontiers Records and they were the first band from South America to sign with the Italian label. What once was a dream had become reality. Gui, Ferpa and Edu therefore joined forces with the local studio musicians Matt Brandon and Hemerson Vieira and started to record their first album called “New Generation”. The album was finally mixed and mastered to sonic perfection by Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Sunstorm, Place Vendome, Khymera etc.).
Influenced by bands like Journey, Survivor, Toto and Chicago, AURAS tries to mix in their music new elements to the classic AOR/Melodic Rock style. AURAS want to be recognized as a real band, not another music project.
Love, dreams, faith and hope are what AURAS music is all about.

Spiral
Auras Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The spiral scar.
The spiral breeze.
I grant my lips,
The spiral greed.
In all my praise, with all my trust.
And a column of radiant desire.
My gloss forlorned, my play of horns.
And the music of sweet fire.
The mourners they weep,
Thought greets the feathered King.
The veil of rot now sings:
"For in the beautiful insane, lies the Equinox scarred.
With souls of flies and spiral hearts.
Yes, it is I. Glowing in your hand.
With all grace of hell, marbelled in sand."
The serpent leaps to face
The quest of flesh and bone.
And to reap this spiral tone.
The lyrics of Auras's song, Spiral, describe a powerful and overwhelming experience that seems to be represented by a spiral, an image that repeats throughout the song. The first verse speaks of a heartbreak that tears a spiral scar, while the second verse speaks of a spiral breeze and a spiral greed that seems to drive the singer's impulses. The imagery of the spiral suggests a cyclical or circular motion, possibly representing a repetitive pattern that the singer is caught in and can't escape.
The second part of the song introduces more mystical and vivid imagery, as the singer speaks of a crest of rain and a column of radiant desire. The words and phrases used all suggest intense emotions and sensations, and the music of the song reinforces this with its heavy riffs and driving beat. The final verse of the song introduces a mournful note, as the mourners weep and the singer speaks of the Equinox scarred and the souls of flies and spiral hearts. The image of the serpent suggests a dangerous and powerful force, and the reference to flesh and bone emphasizes the physicality of the experience.
Overall, the lyrics of Spiral suggest a profound and life-changing experience that is difficult to describe or understand. The use of vivid imagery and repetition of key phrases create a sense of overwhelming intensity, while the heavy music reinforces this impression.

@Againwelived
this is the band and the music of the new age
take it a word from a fello musician
..." wow, million bravos, you preceded the world in your musical vision, and it actually reflects the bluish skie, pale, and darkest, cold, actual present of earth and mankind, and existence as it is",
wow... i am a new fan, though never been a fan to any band since 2004, and the 1990's Art Era.

Nathan Bulla is seriously one of the world's best drummers. Holy groove.
@psychonauticsunofficial5930
My drummer and I get to chill with him for 90 minutes before the upcoming concert in AZ this April (well, actually, it's a private lesson, my drummer is paying, I'm gonna tag along in the background if Nathan is cool with it, I'd even pay the $50 just to sit in the back). Either way, I've talked to them on Facebook too, such chill dudes, SUCH an amazing band. CANNOT fucking wait for the concert, they should be headlining, IMO, not Erra, those guys are cool too, but not Auras status.
@WilsonJimenez
Psychonautic Sun Official I couldn't agree more! (When it comes to auras vs erra!)
@silentsuffering6449
Psychonautic Sun Official erra is amazing both bands are hood auras has to put the time in to get headline like erra , erra deserve it
@transient442
Psychonautic Sun Official auras should be headlining erras own tour? That makes no sense. Erra invited them because they are a smaller band the whole purpose is for them to play before Erra to gain more fans.
Erra are masters at writing interesting melodic riffs no other band compares so they definitely deserve their success. Auras is cool but they don’t bring any riffs to the table that are standout

Saw these guys in Ottawa the other night with no more than 70 people in attendance. When there is such an intimate show, there really isn't too many people to look at from the vocalists perspective, I don't know about you guys but when the vocalist holds eye contact with you while screaming "You don't feel aliveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" , its fucking unreal, especially with how hard he goes on the vocals in key parts of songs and his intense stare. The show was nothing special to alot of people there im sure, but for me... Holy fuck i will never forget it. <3

@psychonauticsunofficial5930
One of the best metal bands on the planet (and I do NOT say that lightly), I absolutely fucking LOVE you guys, I'm completely addicted to Crestfallen and Heliospectrum, and I cannot wait for the show in AZ!!!!!! (this is Nick, btw, we talked a bit on Facebook). Oh, and absolutely amazing music video, guys! So sick \m/
