Explore the sacred domains

Aura is a progressive metal band from Campagna, Salerno, Campania, Italy, formed in 1996. Their music blends melancholic atmospheres, melodic textures, and philosophical introspection, often touching on themes of inner struggle, dreams, and emotional transformation.

Originally rooted in progressive rock and metal, Aura evolved through decades of sonic exploration, releasing a series of albums that reflect both technical skill and emotional depth. Their sound is characterized by clean vocals, layered instrumentation, and dynamic compositions that move between softness and intensity — a style that resonates with fans of bands like Riverside, Porcupine Tree, and early Anathema.

Signed to My Kingdom Music, Aura continues to craft introspective and emotionally resonant progressive metal, with Underwater marking a mature and immersive chapter in their discography. Their music invites listeners into a dreamlike realm — where sound becomes reflection, and melody becomes memory.
