MISSING

Double vinyl LP pressing. 2013 release from the Brooklyn-based Progressive Metal band. Vaura was formed in late 2009 by guitarist Kevin Hufnagel (also of Gorguts and Dysrhythmia fame) and vocalist/guitarist Joshua Strawn after the two musicians were introduced by a mutual friend; the pair were soon demoing a set of songs that mixed grandiose melodic guitars, synth textures and hazy, distant vocals. When bassist Toby Driver and drummer Charlie Schmid joined the fold, Vaura reworked the demo mater.
