In retrospect, djent was a seriously quick flash in the pan. The genre kicked up around 2008 and pretty much died around 2013, though there are a few bands that still carry the torch. One of those bands is Auras, aptly titled as a "nouns" band, who will be releasing a new album titled Heliospectrum on September 30 via Good Fight/eOne.
The band premiered two new songs from the album recently, and given the sufficient buzz around the duo, I figured I'd dive in. Unfortunately upon surfacing, I really don't have much to report. It sounds like what Bermuda was trying to do on its first EP and album, but with less notes.
You can pre-order Heliospectrum here.
