This year is the 10th anniversary of The Aurora Project . A band which started in 1999 by jamming out together after playing card-game “Magic The Gathering”, and which of today still writes their songs exactly like 10 years ago: by having hours of jam sessions.
Unspoken words…
The band’s debut was released worldwide in 2006 by Dutch record company ‘DVS Records’. It is a conceptalbum dealing with the statement “I feel, so I exist”. Beyond the band’s performance, the album featured a story-teller, several guest-performances and a choir. The album soon got raving reviews from press all around the world, hailing the band as a “promising new surprise”. However the band was compared to the likes of Pink Floyd, Rush, Riverside and Porcupine Tree, the press found it hard to position TAP’s music and recommended the band for its ‘unique sound’…
On the road…
The following years the band got on the road to promote the album. The band got invited twice (2005 and 2008) for the prestigious Progpower Festival (NE) and played Symforce (NE) and Deichbrand Festival (GER). The Aurora Project did a club tour in Holland and Belgium with Riverside and Van Den Plas, and the band scored support-slots for Pain of Salvation RPWL and Treshold. In 2007 a dream came true for the band when they played a sold-out Paradiso Amsterdam, for 1500 people.
The new album “Shadow Border”
In 2008 the band went into the studio to record their second album ‘Shadow Border’. The record holds seven tracks, including the 17-minute epic title track.

Shadow Border finally arrived - nearing the end of my first listen and first impressions are very good. Delighted to hear the band still standing out in a genre of copycats. I look forward to getting to know the album more over the next few weeks/months/years.
