Auri - New Band Feat. Tuomas Holopainen, Troy Donockley
A new band, Auri, has just been introduced and it might interest Nightwish fans. The Finnish singer Johanna Kurkela (Sonata Arctica, Tuomas Holopainen) lent her voice, while Troy Donockley and Tuomas Holopainen cast their spells with various other instruments. Using selected guest musicians and friends, the album finally takes its form under the direction of sound engineer Tim Oliver, all within 'Real World' studios in Southern England.
The band begun its life with three people, "united through their shared need to hear a kind of a music which can't be described by words alone. A magical kind of sound to be heard whilst falling down Alice's rabbit hole."
The first song born of this mindset, "Aphrodite Rising", appeared in 2011 and slowly ten more tracks have emerged.
Hand in hand with Nuclear Blast, they lead their listeners into the shadows behind the mirror, and in spring 2018 their debut album will evoke ghosts of an ethereal sphere. Get ready!
Auri consists of:
Johanna Kurkela: voices & viola
Tuomas Holopainen: keys & backing voices
Troy Donockley: acoustic and electric guitars, bouzouki, uilleann pipes, low whistles, aerophone, bodhran, keys, voices
