March 2012 sees the release of the fifth Aura Noir album, “Out to Die”, their first album with INDIE recordings, with Blasphemer permanently back in the fold and several tours in Europe, North- and South America under their belt since 2008’s ‘Hades Rise’. It is bound to cement the band’s reputation as a black thrash attack more ugly, brutal and merciless than ever. “Out to Die” has been in the making for the past few years, being forged at Apollyon´s studio in the mountains of Alvdal whenever the band gathered for beer and frenziness. The album sees a more intense and aggressive approach compared to what the band has done in the past, with an increasingly stark and raw vibe to it all. Recorded on various locations in both Norway and Portugal (Blasphemer´s current location) during December of 2011, the bar is once again raised. Another milestone of putrid Black Thrash Metal is born. In February Aura Noir will tour Norway with Nekromantheon and Skeletonwitch on the Fire Walk With Me vol. 2 tour.
