Auri - Auri (CD)

Add to Cart

Let's start from the very beginning: "The original idea to call this project AURI came from the Patrick Rothfuss books€," explains Nightwish mastermind Tuomas Holopainen -€“ an exceptional composer, founder of the world'€™s most successful symphonic metal band of our time and innovative pioneer for an entire genre.

"€œThere is this female character called Auri, who is a very impressive character. The narrative of the books is one of my eternally favourite novels, but it is not just this character - Auri; the symbol of this word just goes perfectly with the kind of music we do. Something is inherent in the concept that lets you know immediately what we are all about. It symbolises the project very well. It'€™s the perfect match in every way."€

And he is right. Auri is also a Finnish maiden name and derives from the Latin term Aurora, which means dawn. A word that could not have been more significant for this project, because as enigmatic and mysterious as the moment in which the sun rises, saying goodbye to the nocturnal sky and slowly awakening the world out there to life, also appears that particular formation.
