With emotive passion and resilience, Allura pristinely resonates a unique quirky melodic tone with a prerogative crunch.

    REVIEWS

    Music debut at the Esplanade's Mosaic Music Festival 2007
    " Formed out of the ashes of the now-defunct Auburn's Epiphany after "a series of unfortunate events," Allura was ready to shake off their previous band's shadow by playing completely new songs by the new band. Lead vocalist Inch's dynamism and the band's youthful exuberance showed as they blasted through their set with songs like Ladida, Diary Page No. 13, and Closure. One might be compelled to peg them as an alternative emo band, but the band proved they were capable of jazzier arrangements with the song Clandestine."

    - Mosaic Mania Review by Lennat

    ALLURA Beyond The Ashes
    " Allura was forged in the fire of conflict and discontent and in the aftermath, has emerged as one of the most promising, raw and young bands out there in the Singapore music scene. "

    - Power Of Pop Interview by Kevin Matthews

    Pixel Apartment  - Paper Aeroplane Ep released!



    Oct 2 2009 2:43 AM

    Hi Allura!

    After a long while of silence, finally the homemade Paper Aeroplane Ep
    is released. Its a free Ep, so feel free to share it with your friends!


    I've included a little cover art for you ipod cover flow and what not as well as some liner notes, lyrics included.

    An introduction to the new Ep:

    As I walked down a street, I pondered over how time has shaped the
    landscape as we know it today. What was it like without the pavements
    and asphalt? It seems that even though buildings rise and fall,
    kingdoms come and go, and relationships start and end, the celestial
    objects seem to remain forever constant, almost a testimony of
    yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I wrote messages into an insignificant
    piece of paper, folded it up into the shape of an aeroplane, and threw
    it into the horizon. I watched as it faded away to nothingness against
    the backdrop of the sun.

    Infinity feels innately overwhelming, a feeling mathematics does not seem to convey as well as gazing into the distance that never ends. Where would my paper aeroplane fly to? Is there an end to the journey?

    This Ep is an expression of these thoughts. Hope you would enjoy it.

    Tracklist:
    1. Epiphany
    2. Paper Aeroplane
    3. Sums & Equations
    4. The Ride
    5. Time = Infinity
    6. A Plane Vanishes...


    Below is the link for download!!!

    Cheers!

    Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror novel SACRIFICE is now in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten so far:

    “SACRIFICE is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend SACRIFICE.”
    —Famous Monsters of Filmland

    “John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes
