'''Aura Noir''' is a [[black metal]]/[[thrash metal]] band from [[Oslo]], [[Norway]]. Aura Noir is heavily influenced by early thrash bands such as [[Slayer]], [[Sodom (band)|Sodom]] and [[Kreator]], to the latter they have also dedicated some of their songs. The band's main lyrical themes focus on [[blasphemy]], [[death]], and aggressiveness.
==History==
The band was formed in 1993 by Aggressor ([[Carl-Michael Eide]]) and [[Apollyon (musician)|Apollyon]] (Ole Jørgen Moe), who sent out a couple of demos before releasing the underground EP ''Dreams Like Deserts'' in 1995. In 1996, they were joined by [[Mayhem (band)|Mayhem]] guitarist Blasphemer ([[Rune Eriksen]]), who contributed to the release of ''Black Thrash Attack'', their first full-length CD<ref name="blabbermouth1">{{cite web

In 2004, they were the first band to be signed to Tyrant Syndicate Productions, a sub-label of Peaceville Records, run by [[Nocturno Culto]] and [[Fenriz]] (both of [[Darkthrone]]). They released their next album ''The Merciless'', which featured [[Nattefrost]] of [[Carpathian Forest]] and Fenriz on guest vocals<ref>{{cite web

The band has now been put on hold due to an accident to Aggressor in late March, 2005. It is alleged that he either jumped or fell out from a fourth floor window, and landed on his legs after falling ten metres. In May 2006, Aggressor appeared as a guest in the Norwegian radio programme Tinitus, where he confirmed he is confined to a wheel-chair due to being paralyzed from the ankles down<ref>{{cite web
