Aghora

Aghora is a progressive metal band formed in 1995 by Guitarist Santiago Dobles. In 2000 they released their first album, self titled Aghora, recorded in 1999 with Sean Malone and Sean Reinert both former members of Cynic. The band is currently recording its second album, Formless which is being mixed and produced by Santiago Dobles & Neil Kernon. Stunningly unique and rewarding, Aghora's first release is a dazzling marvel sadly overlooked by most fans of the progressive/technical metal field. Aghora finds a natural integration of breathtaking female classical vocals, heavy & progressive twin guitar brilliance, a deft jazz-fusion rhythm section, references to Old World folk and Indian melodies, exotic tones, unusual harmonic systems, and more. The overall sound is very fluid and the interplay tighter-than-thou.
