FLAUROS
was formed at the dawn of 1996 by Sinkkonen (bass, vocals) and Kartzu
(drums) with the aim to create something own and to express their feelings
through dark and aggressive music. Also a guitarist, Teemu, joined the
band and after a year from the birth of the band, in august 1997, FLAUROS
entered the studio to record their first demo entifled “The Myth...”.
The demo was sold out in a year for a total amount of 360 copies and this
response was more than what they expected. After the first studio
sessions, the band started to look for another guitarist and in december
of the same year Wraith joined the horde. New songs were finished during
the spring of 1998 and plans were to enter the studio again. Teemu, however, left the

band for personal
reasons
and the research for another guitarist begun. Few weeks passed and a close
friend, Nightswan, joined, filling the hole that Teemu left behind.
FLAUROS entered the studio again in july 1998 and after two days the new
tape was ready. The tape was named “Chapter II” and was sold out again
in a year. This time 400 copies were made. Alter the attacks of their two
demos, FLAUJROS rose once again the sword against heaven in form of
“Monuments of Total Holocaust” miniCD, produced by The Twelfth Planet
Records in april 2000

FLAUROS
"Monuments Of Total
Holocaust"
(The Twelfth Planet)
Flauros plays what could be labeled as "The new path taken by
Scandinavian Black Metal". More atmospheric /industrial feeling.Keyboards
posses wider dimensions, and vocals sound more amplified. "Monuments of
weakness" the first track, is the best. A good combination of melody and
chaos on Keyboards, drums, and guitar. The following tracks keep a similar
approach. Lots of Keyboards and torn vocals everywhere, along some symphonic
Black metal atmospheres, or "Avant- Black metal" (As defined by the
label) recommended to followers of Old Mans child, Mayhem, etc.
