Auvernia is a metal band hailing from Argentina. Born in 1999 as a just-for-fun project, it took almost 7 years and several line-up changes to build the foundations that would result in their first production in 2006, a four track EP entitled “You Will Come”. Although it was a low budget demo, it left no doubt that this wasn’t a just-for-fun project anymore; it managed to become something unique in the underground metal scene of Buenos Aires.
Two years later, in 2008, the band released its first full length album entitled “Towards Eternity”. Good reviews were to come, and not just from homeland. The album crossed the barriers of territory to find listeners all over the world, surpassing all possible expectations.
But time doesn’t stop and neither does Auvernia. After years of its creative voice and only one album produced, the band was eager to continue composing. Inevitably a new album was in the making.
The band kept combining styles and influences including power metal, black metal, heavy, progressive, latin and classical music in the pursuit of an identity of their own, a challenging feat nowadays. That makes it hard to fit Auvernia into one category. Although the first album was Power Metal driven, the band continued to grow creatively, leading to their second release in 2010, a 12 piece LP entitled “Afraid of Me”. In just one year this new album was composed and recorded, a process that had previously taken nine years.

Nice to see they are getting more popular. Suggested bandcamp to them. Hope they will release 3rd album there so we would have no troubles with quality of tracks and it wouldn't take long to record it!

Just above 2,000 listeners? I don't go throwing this word around but Auvernia is pretty damn underrated.

Untagged from "under 2000 listeners" at 2081 listeners. It may take a while for the change to show. Visit the group under 2000 listeners for more info.

These guys are one of my favourite bands, perfect mix of different musical styles, all brilliantly layered over top of a "progressive power" brand of metal. They are totally unique and original, and they play their instruments extremely well. Just amazing music in general, can't wait for the CD release of their new album! \m/

Hey Douglas, we're trying our luck with labels, thus we are not using Jamendo at the moment ... but you never know, we might get back to Jamendo if it's the best way to promote our music. Saludos.
