Nox Aurea formed in early fall 2005, after guitarists Peter Laustsen (Rimfrost, Urginnthul) and Grim Vindkall (Domgård, Urginnthul) decided to take their friendly jam sessions a step further. They soon began writing songs together. The material was quite different from both of their earlier musical endeavors, as it was their goal to move in an unexplored direction. Thus, the dark seed of Nox Aurea was sown and the flower of death took hold.
In early 2007, Peter and Vindkall completed their line-up with the expertise of bass player Robert Persson, vocalists Patrick Kullberg and Alice Persell, and drummer Joakim Antonsson.
Nox Aurea presents an abstract approach to the darker emotions of the human mind and soul and a search that extends beyond the physical world to the realm of Chaos theorists and Gnostics. For Nox Aurea life is not a gift of truth, but a curse of illusions and an offending imprisonment of the higher spirit. Nox Aurea, in Latin "golden night", symbolizes the dark eternity of freedom and chaos. Their name, however, can also be interpreted to mean "nightly gold", reflecting the Luciferian enlightenment.
In late summer 2009, Solitude Productions released Nox Aurea's debut album "Via Gnosis". The album received much praise from both fans and media alike, gaining Nox Aurea the needed international attention to move forward.
In 2010, the band signed a worldwide recording deal with Napalm Records and completed work on "Ascending in Triumph".
- lyrics:
Thou, the essence of purity
and highest emanation of Chaos
The clear light of the void
Grant me Thy infinite powers
Illuminate me with Thy great wisdom
For I am forever Thine
Thou, the Lord who petrifies the blind
and burn them with the fire of divine
I perceive Thy wordless voice
which, in every encounter,
master the illusions of mind
Odium Divinum!
Grant me Thy spiritual burning sword
So that I can cut and dissolve
the illusional flesh of the demiurg
For I follow the forbidden paths
To liberation of the true self
Discovered only by those
who have the power to find it
Thou, the golden key to emancipation
whose call guides me into deepest trance
The opposer of the filthy being
Dissolve these fettering structures
Thou, the serpent who lurks in forbidden shadows
which hold the secrets beyond all times
Let me see the beauty of Thy hidden entity
Oh, let me be at one with Thee
Thou, the purifying fire of Gnosis
whose formless sparks
and spiritual impulses subdues the ego
Thou, the accuser of all cosmig being
My holy Father, I am forever Thine...
Odium Divinum!
