• AURION IS A GREEK WORD AND IT MEANS TOMORROW. IAM SURE THAT THIS ITALIAN BAND WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE, BECAUSE THEY WORK A LOT ON THEIR MUSIC AND THEY PLAY A VERY HONEST MUSIC STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART!

1.TELL US IN A FEW WORDS THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENTS OF THE BAND'S  HISTORY. WHICH IS TODAY'S LINE UP?

• The actual line-up consists of Emiliano on vocals, Alex and Federico on guitars, Luca on drums, Alfonso on bass and myself ( Helio ) on keys. This guy, Alfonso, just became part of the band. He was the piece that our band was missing and finally we found the right person to complete the line-up. During the recording sessions I took care of the bass parts but, evidently, I couldn't go on playing 2 instruments. I have to say that there aren't precise highlights in the band's history, everything just happened the way we tried to make it happen. I'm quite sure that the first real important moment for our career will be ( if it will ever happen ) the one we'll sign a deal for a label.

• Well actually everyone in the band comes from classical studies (but the new guy Alfonso). Everyone of us studied ancient latin and greek, but the name was chosen by our singer, just turning the pages of his old greek vocabulary, because it sounded quite good and immediate. And of course because the word "tomorrow" is rappresentative of a sort of change and an evolution in something unidentifyble.

• We were just bored of that music, we were playing it with our old band, Thunderdome, and the songs we recorded in our first demo came straight from that experience. But right after we started , with a new name and line-up, to compose something completely different. Nothing planned, just a normal evolution.

• This sounds hard. It changes by every member of the band. We actually have quite nothing in common, the bands that we all like are just a few: Symphony X, Death, Fates Warning, Carcass and Nevermore. Then everyone of us has his personal musical background. Emiliano really loves classical music, Alex comes from death metal previous experiences. Federico likes hard rock, I like almost everything, from Tool to Alains Morrisette. So this variety of musical preferences and different backgrounds is probably a basical ingredient for making our music not very common and not too often heard.

• We don't consider ourselfs metallers, metalheads or anything dealing with a style of life. We just listen to this kind of music, and we play that, but that has nothing to do with our style of life.

• Just a self-titled E.P. , something too horrible not worth to talk about....

• We're 100% satisfied with our last release and we're definitely intentioned to keep all the songs for our "would-be" first official CD. Obviously these songs are deserving a more serious and professional recording.

• The high-pitched voice is maybe one of the things that makes us deal a bit with the typical Italian sound. But the music has more aggressive, and progressive, bases, it's probably a mixture of several kind of genres, and , up to us, even quite original and still unheard.

• The lyrics are basically written by me and Alex. They talk about personal experiences and reality in general. No tales, no monsters, just the inner part of ourselves. They're quite difficult in interpretation, and wierd because of the total lack of ryhmes and assonances. But we're definitely proud of them.

• Sure, Internet is great in helping newcomer bands and musicians, and it's a resource that should be used as much as possible, it grants you the possibility to be heard in every part of the world. Otherwise it would be impossible for an underground band to be known even abroad.

• That it's great that someone is interested in our work.

• Ah ah, that's the bad part. Since Aurion exists as a band we never performed live, for the already mentioned reasons. We never had a complete line-up, thing that makes impossible every live performance. But we're looking forward to make one as soon as possible now that we can.

• We just got a few reviews, basically positive and enthusiastic. But bad reviews are really important if they're made with intelligence. So we're waiting for costructive critics!!

• We got lot of mails from people who liked our works and we have a great number of downloads on the internet. Some labels were interested in us, but they were not granting us the complete musical freedom , thing that is basilar to us, so we rejected them.

• The best part is probably not in the music, but the fact that , before being a band, we're a great group of friends, and that brings harmony and happyness, and makes us work much more easier. About correcting, well, we're still so young... we have things to work on!!!

• Probably Ascension is the most complete one.

• The producer!! I actually mixed all the demos we made and I'm working in a recording studio as a sound engineer. My second passion , you know!

• You know what, I don't believe in anything bigger. And so everyone in the band do. We're not religious at all ( but of course not irreligious!! ). So the question would probably be: so where did you hide for so long!!!!?????

• I like my period and I'm too materialistic to think about fantascientific stuff!!!

• Just a band that works hard and honestly. We don't think to be more than that. So just this should be stressed in the title and the prologue.
