Auri release third album trailer!

Echoes of another world resound from the depths of the legendary rabbit hole. Music diffused with moments of silence and escapist dream sequences, freed from time and earthly presence - now immortalized on AURI's self-titled debut album, which was released last Friday via Nuclear Blast.

Today, the band unveils the third album trailer, in which the trio speaks about the songwriting and the spirit they wanted to capture in AURI's songs. Watch the clip. Tuomas Holopainen comments: "Some of the inspiration came from the [Patrick Rothfuss] books, but quite little in the end. I was thinking of these two - Johanna and Troy - and the world that we live in together, and just tried to capture the essence of what the three of us are - what we think of life, philosophy and music."

AURI begun its life with three people, united through their shared need to hear a kind of 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 Finnish singer Johanna Kurkela lent her unique voice, while Troy Donockley and Tuomas Holopainen (both NIGHTWISH) cast their spells with various other instruments. Using selected guest musicians and friends, their self-titled debut album finally took its ultimate form under the direction of sound engineer Tim Oliver, all within the pastoral splendor of 'Real World' studios in Southern England.
