Aura Noir are Norwegian black/thrash metal band from Oslo. They are heavily influenced by early thrash bands such as Voivod, Slayer, Sodom and Kreator. The band's lyrical themes focus on blasphemy, death and aggression.

History

Aura Noir was formed in 1993 by Aggressor (Carl-Michael Eide) and Apollyon (Ole Jørgen Moe). The band recorded several demos before releasing the EP Dreams Like Deserts in 1995. In 1996, they were joined by Mayhem guitarist Blasphemer (Rune Eriksen), who contributed to the release of their debut album, Black Thrash Attack, that same year.{{cite web| url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=89472| title=AURA NOIR Working On New Material | website=Blabbermouth.net | date=28 January 2008| access-date=30 March 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080418045956/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=89472| archive-date= 18 April 2008 | url-status= live}} The band released their sophomore album, Deep Tracts of Hell, in 1998. In 2004, Aura Noir were the first band to be signed to Tyrant Syndicate Productions, a sub-label of Peaceville Records, run by Nocturno Culto and Fenriz (both of Darkthrone). They released their next album, The Merciless, which featured Nattefrost of Carpathian Forest and Fenriz on guest vocals, in October 2004.{{cite web |url = http://www.rockdetector.com/interviews/artist,706.sm;jsessionid=3317562AC1673104CBB8CA1373952745?id=53 |title = STAY UGLY - THE RETURN OF NORWAY'S BLACK THRASH ATTACK AURA NOIR, BUT FOR HOW LONG? |website= Rockdetector.com |date = 29 April 2005 |access-date = 30 March 2008 |url-status = dead |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071030102321/http://www.rockdetector.com/interviews/artist,706.sm |archive-date = 30 October 2007

The band was put on hold after Aggressor was in an accident in late March 2005, where he fell from a fourth floor window and landed on his legs after falling ten metres. In May 2006, Aggressor appeared as a guest in the Norwegian radio programme Tinitus, where he confirmed that he is paralyzed from the ankles down.{{cite web | url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=53589 | title=AURA NOIR's CARL MICHAEL EIDE: New Interview To Air This Wednesday | website=Blabbermouth.net | date=12 June 2006 | access-date=30 March 2008}} Despite the injury, the band continued to record new material and released the album Hades Rise on 25 August 2008. Aura Noir toured in 2010 with a replacement drummer and was joined by Aggressor on vocals for several songs during their performances at the Inferno and Party.San festivals in 2011. He has since rejoined the band as a full-time recording and touring member on guitar and vocals, sitting and standing with the help of a stool dubbed the "lecture chair" on stage. The band signed with Norwegian Indie Recordings in 2012 and released their fifth studio album, Out to Die, on 23 March 2012. Their sixth studio album, Aura Noire, was released on 27 April 2018.
