В составе группы мы найдем Patrick'а Loisel'а (ex-Kralizec) с гитарой и микрофоном, Mathieu Marcott'а (ex-Spasme) опять-таки с гитарой, Dominic'а Lapointe (Atheretic, Quo Vadis) на басу, Etienne Gallo (Neuraxis, ex-Disembarkation) в качестве драммера и Arianne Fleury с ее чувственным сопрано. 'Concealed' представляет собой цепляющие мелодии и безумие техничного дэта. Материал продюсировался Yannick'ом St-Amand'ом (Neuraxis, Despised Icon) не без помощи Jean-Fransois Dagenais'а (Kataklysm, Misery Index)..


Augury is a relatively new name in Montreal's musical landscape, yet the very idea of the band was in the air since the musicians met in 1997. But serious implication began in the winter of 2001/2002 when lead/classical guitarist Mathieu Marcotte left his band Spasme and started auditioning a string of drummers to seriously start a complete outfit. Shortly after, he was joined by soprano vocalist Arianne Fleury and demented bass wizard Dominic "Forest" Lapointe (Atheretic, Quo Vadis) and started to jam complete songs.

In the meantime, vocalist Patrick Loisel had pledged to join and, in February 2002, left his band Kralizec to become the band's other lead guitarist. In June of 2002, drummer Mathieu Groulx completed the line-up and helped the band shape their first six songs and play its first show. However, lack of time and different musical tastes led him to depart Augury.

For a few months, the drummer-less outfit spent time writing more songs, focusing on string instruments arrangements. Then, to the relief of everyone, the final missing piece fell in the puzzle as drummer Étienne Gallo (Neuraxis, ex-Disembarkation) took over the drum throne. After months of arranging and rehearsing, Augury were ready to commit their work into an album. The band entered Wild Studio in late November 2003 and went through a string of mishaps, equipment failures and conflicting schedules that turned a seemingly easy project into quite a trial. The quest is finally over, and, on September 14th, what was Concealed will finally see the light.

MUSIC - Augury doesn't identify itself with any pre-established school of music, but it can be fit into the extreme metal category since they favor fast playing, low tuning and rough vocals. A further link can be made with the Norwegian symphonic Black Metal scene, for the use of classical, Celtic and medieval overtones and the lush vocal harmonies that embellish about half of the songs. Triplet feels and guitar/bass dual and triple harmonies are indeed a staple of Augury's music. Yet, there is no keyboard, no fake vampire image and a totally different lyrical concept.

Each musician adds influences from a lot of other sources. All members are big fans of progressive rock, classical baroque and jazz and there is a big flamenco influence (Strunz & Farrah, Paco de Lucia, Don Ross) in the playing. Strings players alone total almost 50 years of practicing their instruments and Patrick started singing in the late 80's while Arianne is classically trained. Yet, everyone still yearns to widen his or her horizons... //http://www.galyrecords.com
