May 27, 2014Maybe not quite as oppressive as By The Throat, but still an incredible experience of distortion filled experimenting. If anything the only real downfall of this album is the slight lack of cohesion as compared to Ben Frost's earlier works, but it's still a must listen for anyone looking into dark ambient or experimental music, and a welcome addition for previous Ben Frost fans.

Jun 26, 2014It has some interesting parts with power. However, most of the album is boring and fails to evoke any emotions. The parts i liked are in: "Nolan", "Secant", and "A Single Point of Blinding Light".

Oct 23, 2014Influenced by both the horrors of war and the looming threat of a nearby active volcano, A U R O R A is every bit as terrifying and brutal as those inspirations suggest, but also oddly hypnotic and contemplative.

Jul 22, 2014There’s nothing knee-jerk about it; just the inexorable sounds of ideas beautiful and terrible unfurling. It’s a careful, masterful record.
