Review: Rhythmic in its upbeat drive, the death metal of Aurora Borealis is fast and listenable in a style of technical heavy metal created in a grinding and precision format. Halfway between classic American football death metal and a speedier Swedish death metal standard, Aurora Borealis make distinctive metal from well-known parts. Alert drumming and detailed guitar which knows when simpler is better form the basis of a song, upon which the harsh but understandable vocals and bass rumble build. Distinctive shape-shifting riffs repeat until they detonate in song conclusions that slice apart structure. In deconstruction, songs speak their basic emotions and then vanish as neatly as they arrived.
Production: Clear and digital edged.
