ARMADA AGENCY - EUROPEAN BOOKINGS - ROSTER
NOX AUREA (SE)
Gothic Doom Symphonies For Fans of Draconian and Paradise Lost "Ascending in Triumph"
is the second album for the Swedish formation Nox Aurea, a band that that worships doom metal's
majestic darkness with heart and soul. Heavy guitars and hypnotic keyboard passages meet both
low-pitched growls and fragile female vocals to create overflowing doom metal symphonies impressively
veiled in obscurity. The lyrical concept is Gnostic in nature and removes itself from the gothic
romanticism and grandiloquence of vampire tales to achieve a truly menacing and creeping darkness.
The release is impressively rounded off by atmospheric artwork that skillfully sets the lyrical scene.
"Ascending Triumph" is a mature and compact album that brings the Swedes closer to the top acts within their genre.

IN MOURNING (SE)
Formed in the year of 2000, In Mourning has been active as a band for soon 10 years.
After releasing a couple of demos the band got signed by Norwegian record label Aftermath-Music
and released their first full-length album Shrouded Divine.
Blending a broad variety of influences into a foundation of melodious death-metal,
the music thrusts from doomy metal-riffs, blasting drumbeats and deep growling vocals
to calm breezes of clean flowing melodies.
In summertime 2009 In Mourning began their next chapter by signing a two-record
deal with Singapore-based extreme-metal record label Pulverised Records and recording
their second full-length album, Monolith.
Maintaining the essences of its precursor,
Monolith pushes the elements from Shrouded Divine further.
Keeping the musical core, but with improved song structuring
and musicianship it dives into to new directions without losing track of its origin.
Recorded and engineered by Scar Symmetry’s Jonas Kjellgren at his Black Lounge Studio,
packaged with layout and artwork by metal-artist Travis Smith,
In Mourning’s Monolith is a beautiful piece of art, both in its sound and in its looks.
