DemiAura, the bleeding edge of progressive metal. Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, DemiAura draws its influences from rogues and giants of the genre like Rush, Fates Warning, Tesseract, Periphery, Liquid Tension Experiment, Opeth, Cynic and many others, yet remains utterly unique in its execution. DemiAura’s music is forged organically through inspired improvisation, refined into complex, atmospheric metal, uniquely seasoned with layers of cinematic depth, then ultimately delivered with a fiery technical precision.

DemiAura’s music is fearlessly textured with influences from an endless bevy of styles. From progressive metal to jazz fusion and even film soundtracks, nothing is off the table from where DemiAura draws its inspiration. DemiAura’s fusion of many different styles and their wild, unbound method of technical expression results in a dynamic, atmospheric experience laced with fury.

Founded originally in the late 90’s, DemiAura is the latest incarnation of the ongoing progressive rock fusion project first conceptualized by drummer Keith Heaney. Along with veteran guitarist Bobby Chavez and keyboardist Jonathan Gabriel, Jr., the trio had sought a vocalist for years without a proper fit. Then in 2017, auditioned and welcomed vocalist Chelsea Wrathchild to complete the spectrum - a unique origin story of fate meeting opportunity.

Pavement Entertainment signed the band to release their upcoming debut album The Ascendant, along with a full-length music video for their single “Between Two Fires" which was filmed at a variety of Arizona landmark outdoor locations.
