“Metal fans like our band because they can smell the authenticity in our music” – Interview with AURI

Born from friendship and a shared life philosophy, AURI returns with their third album. Johanna Kurkela, Tuomas Holopainen and Troy Donockley form a unique trio whose music brings together cinematic imagination, profound stories and nature-anchored atmospheres. AURI‘s music combines folk, progressive and symphonic music, seasoned with influences from around the world, pop and more experimental tones. The new album continues AURI‘s enchanting sonic journey, offering listeners space to dream, immerse themselves and feel.

The band’s third album “III – Candles & Beginnings” will be released on August 15th through Nuclear Blast Records. Chaoszine recently sat down with Tuomas, Troy and Johanna to discuss the upcoming album as well as well as what lies ahead for AURI and Nightwish. You can watch the full video interview here:
