Aghora
Aghora was formed by guitarist Santiago Dobles and gained some fame
with its 1999 self-titled release as it featured the rhythm section
of Sean Malone and Sean Reinert, of the then-recently-disbanded
Cynic.
Aghora, the album, is an intriguing fusion/metal/rock album,
featuring smooth melodic vocals from Danishta Rivero, excellent
guitarwork from two guitarists with differing backgrounds (one,
Dobles, seems more jazz/fusion-based, the other, Charlie Ekendahl,
metal-based), and exactly the masterful rhythm section work that
one would expect from the Cynic Seans.
There is quite a bit of variety here, the band is quite willing to
explore different moods and styles.
By the time of the followup
Formless in 2006 the lineup had changed
greatly, and the recent lineups no longer feature the Cynic Seans.
