Azure Emote- Cryptic Aura
SKU: 884388890046
Can they play with madness? With their fourth album "Cryptic Aura", Azure Emote offer a tour de force through the outer stellar realms of death metal where the musical possibilities seem to become infinite and to expand into all directions and dimensions until the gravity of ultra heavy sound pulls everything back into a crushing event horizon. Each track on "Cryptic Aura" is unique with it's own abstract insanity, but they all bond together nicely by an amalgamation of disturbing atmospheres, restless unease, and defiant creativity. Azure Emote were founded by vocalist and keyboard player Mike Hrubovcak with the support of long-time friend and the band's guitarist Ryan Moll (TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION) in Philadelphia, PA in 2003. His intention was the creation of an experimental musical outlet to express personal negativity without the arbitrary limitations of genre that are so often present within the extreme metal scenes. Although the debut album "Chronicles of an Aging Mammal" (2007) quickly accumulated a cult following, Azure Emote were nevertheless put on hiatus as Hrubovcak focused on touring extensively with his other bands at the time, in particular MONSTROSITY and VILE. In the summer of 2011, Azure Emote were resurrected with FEAR FACTORY and MALIGNANCY drummer Mike Heller joining the fold, which eventually led to the release of the sophomore full-length "The Gravity of Impermanence" in 2013. The line-up is still featuring Kelly Conlon, who played bass on DEATH's "Symbolic" album and has been a member in MONSTROSITY among many other bands. With the inclusion of former ELUVEITIE lead-vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Anna Murphy, now CELLAR DARLING, as well as violin player Pete Johansen (ex-SIRENIA), Azure Emote have expanded their impressive musical range further than ever. "Cryptic Aura" is the promise of what death metal can sound like when all considerations of genre limitations and musical preconceptions are abandoned while it's brutal core remains untouched. Let Azure Emote take you on a mind-blowing ride into deadly infinity.
