2019 MUSIC VIDEO - "Between Two Fires" |
Meet DemiAura, the bleeding edge of progressive metal. Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, DemiAura draws its influences from rogues and giants of the genre like Rush, Fates Warning, Tesseract, Periphery, Liquid Tension Experiment, Opeth, Cynic and many others, yet remains utterly unique in its execution. DemiAura’s music is forged organically through inspired improvisation, refined into complex, atmospheric metal, uniquely seasoned with layers of cinematic depth, then ultimately delivered with a fiery technical precision.
DemiAura’s music is fearlessly textured with influences from an endless bevy of styles. From progressive metal to jazz fusion and even film soundtracks, nothing is off the table from where DemiAura draws its inspiration. DemiAura’s fusion of many different stylistic directions and the band’s wild, unbound method of technical expression that results in a dynamic sound that is often referred to as Progressive Metal Soundscapes. Founded originally in the late 90’s, DemiAura is the latest incarnation of the ongoing progressive rock fusion project first conceptualized by drummer Keith Heaney. Along with veteran guitarist Bobby Chavez and keyboardist Jonathan Gabriel, Jr., the trio had sought a vocalist for years without a proper fit. Then in 2017, auditioned and welcomed vocalist Chelsea Wrathchild to complete the spectrum - a unique origin story of fate meeting opportunity. Pavement Records recently signed the band to release their upcoming debut album, "The Ascendant," which was self-produced at Phoenix's TallCat Studios, along with a full-length music video for “Between Two Fires," which was filmed at a variety of Arizona landmark outdoor locations. Release date for "The Ascendant" is set for early 2021. CONTACTSITE LINKS |
2019 DEMO EPLYRICSBetween two fires
Lyrics: Wrathchild Adrift in the shadowed sea, Your golden flame guided me. You purged the chains, absolved my pain. Breathed life into my veins. I recognized your soul, Crossed oceans of time to find you. But we knew that it was just a dream. Set me free Deliver me My confession My transgressions Surrender me Fate's tears dampen my face, The threads of lies that we laced. A love divided against itself cannot stand. A bleeding heart in my hands. Between two fires, Illuminate my path of sorrow. Between two fires, Rendered me hollow. Afraid to let go of fading embers. The charred remains of love remembered. Between two fires, In torment I wallow. When the jester's grin fades, Only deception remains. Forsaken hopes ablaze. Never suffer a love to live, Bestowed upon the crown of lust and sin. Building walls of deceit, Knuckles bloody, heart barren in defeat. pleiadian
Lyrics: Wrathchild Out of the light, the shadows make themselves known. Forsaken, you must confront it alone. When the thoughts of despair have staked their claim. There is so much darkness to tame. Don't you stare at the abyss Or let it stare back at you. You will rise from the ashes And emerge a soul anew. Anguish's greed, laying waste a soul bare. Seizing all hope in its wake, sanity ensnared. Under the pretense of hope, the torment prolongs. Aligned with the sorrow, your mind now belongs. Into the chasm, the ashes of stars rain. Roots of agony twisted so deep, you can taste the pain. The void beckons you to merge as one. But a servant of desolation you will not become. A cerebral flood of light drowns the fears. A coalescence of strength and will to disperse the tears. And when the storm clouds divide, Lock your sights on the blinding sun. If you tear away your eyes, You may never feel its warmth again. The gossamer strands of shame don't define you. Become the vessel, allow the light to break through. heavy skies
Lyrics: Wrathchild Trees emblazoned with hues, but solemn within. Rustling of leaves, breath of the wind. Clouds weep until the earth is swollen with regrets. The spirits of dawn are laid to rest. Heavy skies obscure my eyes And enshroud the waning light. Heavy skies. From summer's demise, The shadows will arise. Deep inside, the stillness speaks. Calm tides run deep. Is this all just inward reflection? Or is this an ancient connection? The sun surrenders its blaze. Darkness denies the blame. Embalmed in diminished days. As above, so below. Conceive all you've sown. Is this time for resurrection? Or is this natural perception? Life sheds its withered promises bracing for the nearing and desolate age. The bane of winter descends upon the innocent And the fallen with a grievous intent. Heavy skies obscure my eyes And enshroud the waning light. Heavy skies. From summer's demise, The shadows will arise. But still extant echoes sound of hope sustained. Roots to the earth, succumb to the change. |

As the progressive work slowly unwinds as you listen to it multiple times, the tracks become more than “just” a track. This is progressive, instrumental music of a very promising quality. I’m looking forward to a very bright DemiAura future.

Great mix of heaviness, prog fusion and crazy rhythms. Strong focus on keyboards too which makes for some great textures. Solid stuff for fans of dynamic instrumental progressive music.

The hard driving “Pleiadian” features some of the albums most blistering riffs.... And that’s kind of the story as you make your way through the album; the arrangements and musical passages are all expertly played and executed....
