Biography

Sweden (1995 – present)

There are five (6) different artists/bands under the name Azure;

1. Azure was a German 90’s emo band.
They released a self-titled 7” (Honesty Records, 1995) and split 7” with Cerulean (Crooners Club Records, 1996).
2. Azure is a female R&B/Pop Group.
3. Azure is also a trance alias of hard house producer Paul Maddox.
4. Azure is also a Finnish ghost/death metal band.
5. A jazz quartet based in France.
6. A folk death metal band from Sweden

Sweden’s technical extreme metal band Azure was formed in 1995 by guitarist/vocalist Robban Kanto.

In the beginning the music was heavily influenced by the melodic black/death metal scene but later went on to a more technical approach when Mattias Holmgren (Embracing, Tired Tree, ex. Naglfar) and Peter Uvén (Embracing, April Divine etc) replaced the old rythm section.
The lyrics theme takes place in a fantasy world created by Robban called Hevalia, but in different time periods. The latest album “King Of Stars - Bearer Of Dark” is though a continuation of where the Moonlight Legend album ended.

New songs will be recorded in 2009…
