Aura Noir  


Formed as a side project by a pair of Norwegians with past black metal alliances, Aura Noir bill themselves as "unholy black thrash", which is quite a reasonable description, as their style an intense form of retro thrash (think early Kreator or Destruction) with vocals that are a bit more contemporary and black-metallish. Mainmen Apollyon and Aggressor have (or at least had) an interesting songwriting/instrument arrangement, with all odd-numbered tracks written by Aggressor, who plays guitar, bass, and sings (Apollyon drums), and completely switching all songwriting and instrument-playing responsibilities on the even-numbered tracks.
