Auroch

All The Names Of The Night

20 Buck Spin

Vancouver’s Auroch return with new music for the first time in nearly four years. The new mini-album Stolen Angelic Tongues draws upon the magical and spiritual traditions of South America and the Caribbean as their histories, past and present, represent a microcosm of the great spiritual rebellion that has been the band’s inspiration throughout its singular discography. An ever-evolving beast of the deep, here Auroch conjure vicious black / death spells of occult necromancy and technical sorcery, making manifest a dark vision of obscure magic. Returning to the fold is original vocalist Culain who here summons demons of the abyssic fire with savage equanimity. Joining with their Covenant Circle brethren in Night Profound and Aos Si, eerie ambient recordings bookend the concept piece to dramatic effect. The CD version of the release, re-titled All The Names Of Night not only includes the Stolen Angelic Tongues mini-album, but compiles three additional tracks from the earlier age of Auroch, including their Seven Veils EP tracks and their contribution to the split with Mitochondrion, representing an evolutionary document of the bands trajectory through it’s first phase.

Auroch

Mute Books (LP Version)

Profound Lore

Vancouver, BC-based Auroch have gained recognition as one of Canada’s most active death metal bands since the release of Taman Shud in 2014. Comprised of vocalist/guitarist Sebastian Montesi (bassist/vocalist of Mitochondrion), vocalist/bassist Shawn Haché (vocalist/guitarist of Mitochondrion) and drummer Zack Chandler, Auroch have been on the live circuit consistently through various shows, tours and festivals in the US, Canada, and Europe, including Maryland Deathfest. Their debut From Forgotten Worlds was re-issued on 20 Buck Spin, and most recently, their split/collaboration 7-inch with their co-conspirator sister band Mitochondrion came out via Dark Descent. Now the enveloping shadow of chaos looms with the band’s new album, their darkest, most brutal, complex, musically virulent release to date. Mute Books carries on the innovative Canadian death metal tradition laid down by the likes of Gorguts, Cryptopsy, Kataklysm, and more recently Mitochondrion and Chthe’ilist. With this latest album, the band’s songwriting reaches a new plateau in technicality and over-the-top dynamics, along with the innovative production and sound of producer/engineer Arthur Rizk (Prurient, Pissgrave, Inquisition, Black Twilight Circle, Power Trip). Auroch have cast their most ferocious undertaking yet—one of the most violent, whirlwind-like bizarre monuments of alchemic death metal this year.

From Forgotten Worlds

20 Buck Spin

Looming over Vancouver, BC, is an invisible dark energy, trapped in shadow, that imbues the region’s death metal with a most turbulent methodology. Blasting outside time and out of mind, reaching deep into the lowest places of the Earth, the inhuman entity called Auroch encapsulates the distant, thousand-eyed doom of the cosmos, long hidden, frozen to the core and ripe to be awakened once more. From Forgotten Worlds assails throughout its duration, summoning incongruous black symmetry, with onerous dark death metal chaos that extends a direct blood lineage traced back to Morbid Angel, Gorguts, Timeghoul, Kataklysm, Cryptopsy and other reapers of the whirlwind. Rites such as “Pathogenic Talisman (For Total Temporal Collapse),” “Fleshless Ascension (Paths of Dawn)” and the opening title hymn rip across the skies, rending flesh from sickly bones of the fallen. Pulled from obscurity and issued for the first time on vinyl, featuring completely new and improved artwork by Cold Poison (Acherontas, Nightbringer, Dodsengel), From Forgotten Worlds marks the beginning of an increased period of ferocity for Auroch with several US festival appearances and shows confirmed, and additional releases to come.

Taman Shud

Profound Lore

Formed in 2008, Vancouver, BC’s Auroch are poised to bear the flag of Canadian death metal chaos alongside likeminded bands of the new generation Mitochondrion (vocalist / guitarist Shawn Haché and live-lineup bassist Sebastian Montesi both play in Auroch), Antediluvian and Chthe’ilist. It’s a tradition stretching from the legendary and still-active Gorguts back to the mid-’90s heydays of Cryptopsy and Kataklysm. Auroch released their debut From Forgotten Worlds in 2011 on Poland’s Hellthrasher Productions. That album’s insane musical approach to violent, technical death metal is present on its followup, Taman Shud, albeit in a darker, deadlier manifestation. Here the band truly makes their mark upon the death metal scene as one of North America’s most brutal and musically proficient acts. The release is preceded by the limited-edition Seven Veils 7-inch EP (Graceless Recordings), and the Auroch is scheduled to play this year’s Killtown Deathfest, Europe’s premiere death metal festival, and Incubate fest; live assaults in Canada and the US are imminent.
