Scarlet Aura

Romanian Heavy Metal Band

Female fronted Heavy Metal band from Romania Aura Danciulescu – Lead vocals Mihai "Myke D" Danciulescu – Lead guitars and Vocals Rene Nistor – Bass guitars Sorin Ristea – Drums Romania's most reliable heavy metal export, Scarlet Aura, is preparing to release their crushing new record in early 2021 on Universal Music/ Silver City Records. The first single, Raw Power, is out on 16.10.2020. Having only formed in 2014 (at that time under the name AURA), the band signed a record deal with Universal Music Romania the same year. The unleashing of their debut album “The Rock Chick” (2014) helped the band to quickly gain fanbase and AURA was invited as opening act at the numerous metal concerts. The album presented mix of alternative, pop rock and melodic/heavy metal, with 10 songs sung in Romanian. Same year they won first place and public award at the "Black Sea Battle of the bands" at the Kavarna Rock Fest. Meanwhile AURA reached headliner status on festivals in Eastern Europe. In 2015 the band announced their new name "Scarlet Aura" at their show in Bulgaria, opening for the Accept, marking the official year of formation. The band’s 2nd album “Falling Sky” was released in 2016 and was accompanied by European Tour with Finnish Queen of Heavy Rock Tarja Turunen. Falling Sky became the first English record for Scarlet Aura, presenting much more heavier rock sound and being produced by Roy Z and gaining the band title of “THE new discovery and hottest favorites for the throne of Melodic Metal”. Scarlet Aura’s first headline run throughout the Continent in 2017 rounded off their “Falling Sky” touring cycle. In September 2017 Scarlet Aura released their 3rd album - the tribute cover CD "Memories" presenting and reinterpreting 11 classical Rock and Metal songs in their own unique style and went on their second headline tour across Europe, finishing the year opening at the ARENELE ROMANE in Bucharest for “DIO RETURNS”. But the band didn’t rest on their well-deserved laurels and instead made 2018 the most successful touring year in their still rather short history. Scarlet Aura joined Italian symphonic metallers RHAPSODY Reunion on their extensive “20th Anniversary Farewell Tour” across Europe, where the band visited a number of countries and cities for the first time ever. Since then, Scarlet Aura have become a staple in the European metal scene with their powerful live shows and crushing heavy metal. That tour was supported by Wacken Foundation. Despite their extensive touring schedule, the band managed to achieve something else in the past few months – in July 2018 Scarlet Aura announced their 4th yet-to-be-released album "Hot'n'Heavy and a tour with Brazilian power metal band Angra as a special guests for the North America tour supporting the release. "Hot'n'Heavy" was released in March 2019 via Silver City Records. The album marked new direction for the band, with heavy influences from symphonic and power metal to heavy metal, but within unique sound and vision of Scarlet Aura. With this album, the band brought a heavy sound, and more dark and deeper lyrics about finding your true meaning and how to be yourself, how to dare to be different and have no fear as one never be alone through music, the right to fight for what you believe in and also for love, for friendship and music. At the same time, it also set the new milestone for metal bands history: it started the first part of a conceptual trilogy called “The Book of Scarlet”, which consists of 3 albums and accompanying fantasy books. The books are written by Aura Danciulescu and combine the lyrics of the songs from the albums with the story of “Scarlet” that alongside the album immerse the audience into the amazing world of Scarlet Aura. The first book in the trilogy that went together with “Hot’n’Heavy” was “The Book of Scarlet – Ignition”. In 2019 Scarlet Aura focused mainly on writing new material and on preparing their fifth studio album “Stormbreaker”, which was released on March 27, 2020 – the 2nd album from the trilogy. The first single “High In The Sky” was released in August 2019 and revealed the style, sound and the band’s direction for the upcoming album. Stormbreaker has become the most successful record to date and showcased band’s new growth in many directions with yet another level of songwriting. The album has received a stunning reception from the critics, reaching numerous of 9.5/10 and 9/10 notes and as the consequence – the band being featured in number of publications in Legacy, BreakOut, Orkus! and other magazines. The first single “High In The Sky” and album landed on charts, claiming the first place in Metal and Rock and second place (8th for the single) on iTunes Charts Romania. In September 2019 Scarlet Aura joined SOTO on tour with the shows in the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark and Germany. In December 2019 it was announced that Scarlet Aura would join Visions of Atlantis, Edenbridge and Leecher (as opener) on 15 European shows in April 2020 to support the release of "Stormbreaker" album. In February 2020 the band was confirmed as special guests for Primal Fear tour in September-October 2020. The tour with Primal Fear was re-scheduled to February-March 2021 and will start a touring cycle for the upcoming album.
