Vaura is an experimental band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2009 by singer, guitarist and primary songwriter Joshua Strawn and featuring Kevin Hufnagel of Dysrhythmia and Gorguts on lead guitar, Toby Driver of Kayo Dot and Secret Chiefs 3 on bass, and Charlie Schmid on drums.
Vaura's debut LP Selenelion was released on Wierd Records in February 2011. Stereogum described the record as "a warped, heady strain of metal, one that incorporates bits and pieces of black metal, post-rock, and prog, melting them all into one singular brooding sludge".[1]
The band has toured in support of French group Alcest[2] and has played with Bloody Panda, Anatomy of Habit, Sannhet, Deafheaven, Ga'an, Monarch, and Castevet.
In early 2013, Vaura was signed to Profound Lore Records. Their sophomore effort, The Missing, was released by the label on November 12, 2013.[3]
