Aurora Borealis is
the name of an early but still very good Einherjer song and although this is
an American band they have adapted a lot of the Nordic black metal influences.
The black metal scene in USA seems to be growing and some bands are in fact
really good compared to many others in this over-populated subgenre and Aurora
Borealis is one of those. It's a pity that they haven't been blessed by the
dark forces of the universe with a better production that corresponded to
their skills because even if Darkthrone has managed to succeed with a
deliberately lousy sound quality most bands need to sound good. Compared to
their Norwegian colleagues they are however still miles ahead... Aurora
Borealis doesn't rely solely on the old black metal trademarks of pounding
drums, extremely fast guitars and the abyssic vocals since they have also
added a touch of technical death/thrash metal riffs which adds a new fresh
element to their music. I think it would be a good idea for the band to
continue in the same direction with further development of their non-black
metal influences but without loosing their roots. With a better production
this is a band with lots of
potential.
