There are at least eight artists/groups known by this name:
1) 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.

Triumph Again
Aurora Borealis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One more life I need to gain the freedom that I seek
Led through the tunnels and labyrinths so deep
Prisoners and slaves encircling me
I am but one, one of the same
When the sun sets this all shall change
We who are about to die, we salute you
Five men in, one leaves
Today there will be no mercy
Lust for blood grows strong
Not from me but ones watching on
We who are about to die, we salute you
We who are about to die, we salute you
Catching the gleam of a childs glad eye
Cheering and laughing while watching them die
In the arena of death they shall fall
To the delight and enjoyment of all
Verbera strike deaths blow
The last ones my hands shall know
Triumph I have seen another triumph there will not be
The lyrics of Triumph Again by Aurora Borealis are an intense depiction of a gladiator's fight for freedom. The opening lines speak of the singer's desperation to gain his freedom and his willingness to take another life to achieve it. He is being led through the tunnels and labyrinths, surrounded by prisoners and slaves. Despite being one of the same, there is a clear divide between him and the others. As the sun sets, he knows that everything is about to change.
The second verse continues to paint a vivid picture of the gladiator's life. Five men enter the arena, but only one will survive. The lust for blood grows strong, not just from the singer but from the ones watching on. The idea of a child's glad eye catching the gleam of the swords is particularly haunting. The final lines of the song speak of the gladiator's final triumph. He has survived, and there will not be another triumph like this one.
