Biography of BandThe concept of Aurora Borealis first originated in 1994 while vocalist/guitarist Ron Vento was playing with the Atlanta based death metal act Lestregus Nosferatus, Ron parted ways with the band because he wanted to pursue a different style and lyrical approach to the music. After endlessly searching for players in Atlanta, Ron ventured to Tampa, Florida. There he found Tony Laureano (Later in AngelCorpse/Nile/Dimmu Borgir) to fill the drum position, and the first MCD “Mansions Of Eternity” was completed in May of 1996. All vocals, bass and guitars were performed by Ron, due to never finding adequate players. The CD was recorded at Morrisound studios and mixed by Scott Burns, and had an excellent reception worldwide.
Upon Completion, Ron relocated to Maryland and started material for the next CD. Being that Tony Laureno was very busy with other projects a new drummer was also sought, and Derek Roddy (Later in Hate Eternal) was found. Derek has played on numerous recordings, most recently of which at that time was Malevolent Creation`s “In Cold Blood”. Bassist Jason Ian-Vaughn Eckert was also added to round out the band and contributed to some of the material. The full length CD debut entitled “Praise the Archaic Lights Embrace” was then recorded at Sound Lab studios during Oct/Nov of 97. Again the band self financed the recording as well as the release of the new disc, due to the fact that all the offers received were not very favorable. The CD again had taken the metal world by storm, and sold out of the first pressing in only a few months.
The Third Installment "Northern Lights" was then later recorded at Nightsky Studios and completed. This also featured Derek on drums while Jason parted ways amicably to pursue other avenues. This release was also self financed by the band. DIE HARD MUSIC, from Denmark, then signed and re-released it with five bonus tracks from the "Praise" album. Two pressings were made by the band and sold out, and one by Die Hard.
After the success of the Northern Lights CD material for the next album was in the works and Ron again was in need of another drummer. Derek`s schedule with Hate Eternal was very hectic and the two could not find the time to record the CD. By coincidence Tim Yeung, (ex-Hate Eternal) was available and agreed to take on the project. The CD entitled "Time, Unveiled" is was completed and proved to be as fast and brutal as all previous efforts. Once again the CD will be released on Nightsky productions in the USA by the band and Die Hard Music in Europe.
