AroarA are a 4-piece progressive celtic group from the North-East of Scotland. Described by popular US folk music magazine “Dirty Linen” as “Metallica-meets-Wolfstone” with “sizzling electric guitar and artillery-barrage drumming”, the band combines progressive metal influences from groups such as Mastodon, Opeth and Dream Theater with modern bagpipes and whistle melodies to create a truly unique sound. Since forming in 2002, AroarA have performed in numerous locations throughout the country, including Celtic Connections, the Lemon Tree in Aberdeen, Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange and several main stage slots at Scottish music festival Speyfest, as well as providing support for some of the biggest acts in the folk music world, most notably Croft No. Five, Malinky and Wolfstone.
In 2007 the group completed their third self-produced album, titled “Forward Through Ruin”. The combination “ear-frying bagpipes” with “furious, oft-changing rhythms” led to it being hailed as “one of the most cool and original albums of the year” and “the pinnacle so far of any fusing of heavy & ancient music” by independent US music publication “Chaos Realm.” Comprised purely of original compositions, “Forward Through Ruin” flows expertly between intensely heavy, technical passages and subtle melodic sections, all the while retaining the distinctive and exciting quality which defines AroarA’s inimitable live sound.
March 2008 saw AroarA make their first overseas performance in the form of a 5 date tour of Slovakia, organised by Slovak company Fruitstand Music. Such was the success of this tour that the group plan to return to mainland Europe in October 2008, with preliminary arrangements currently in place for concerts in France, Germany, Slovakia, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. Stay tuned...
