AURA NOIR is a Norwegian Black/Thrash metal band from Oslo.
The band is heavily influenced by early thrash bands such as Voivod, Slayer, Sodom and Kreator, to the latter they have also dedicated some of their songs.
The band’s main lyrical themes focus on blasphemy, death and aggression.
AURA NOIR was formed in 1993 by Carl-Michael Eide and Ole Jørgen Moe, who sent out a couple of demos before releasing the underground E.P. “Dreams Like Deserts” in 1995.
In 1996, they were joined by MAYHEM guitarist Rune Eriksen, who contributed to the release of “Black Thrash Attack”, their first full-length album.
In 2004, they 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)
The band was put on hold after Carl-Michael Eide was in an accident in late March 2005.
It is alleged that he either jumped or fell out from a fourth floor window, and landed on his legs after falling ten metres.
In May 2006, Eide appeared as a guest in the Norwegian radio programme Tinitus, where he confirmed he uses a wheelchair due to being paralyzed from the ankles down.
DREAMS LIKE DESERTS is their debut E.P. released in 1995 through Hot Records.
