Auri - III - Candles & Beginnings

Auri - Finnish duet of wizards: Johanna Kurkela (vocal, violin), Tuomoma Slopainen (keyboards; founder Nightwish) and Troy Donklokley (guitar, Irish flute and many other tools)

After completing the Nightwish Yesterwynde (2024) album, Auri started a new chapter: Troy did in Yorkshire, and Tuomas with Johannaya at home, in Finland.
By the fall, 2024 demo was already ready

This is a musical journey - like a luminous path leading deep into the soul. Auri merges forewall, folk, symphony, World Music and avant-garde, creating a unique emotional landscape
