Info for Grey World Live
The Aurora Project return after an absence of 2 years with their new, fourth, concept album ‘World of Grey’.
The band were forced to take a step back when their rhythm guitarist and lyricist Marc Vooijs suddenly passed away in 2014. At that point the band were about to start creating the concept of their new album. The remaining members decided to take a break for a year to decide their future. But two things were clear, the band would not disband and Marc’s spot would not be replaced.
After a year the band started creating the concept of ‘World of Grey’. Based on the ideas Marc had, Mox took over his task and created the concept for ‘World of Grey’. The band wrote the music with their future live performances in mind. So the music of the band has changed in a sense that there is no longer a second guitar. The void is filled in with keyboards and bass, which makes the music of The Aurora Project more prog rock instead of metal.
The concept ‘World of Grey’ is set around the tension between an established world order and the people, of which the latter will lose out. Through increasing bugging and restrictions on media and Internet, the mouth the people are surreptitiously gagged and freedom curtailed. Democracy is no more and a gray blanket of control and repression descends over the world.

The Aurora Project
is an atmospheric progressive/symphonic metal band.
In 1999, while playing the famous fantasy card game "Magic: The Gathering," the six future members of THE AURORA PROJECT became acquainted with each other. They found out that, not only do they all love "Magic",they also share a passion for mysterious, dark rock music. At this point, THE AURORA PROJECT is a work in the making. THE AURORA PROJECT's music delivers powerful atmospheric progressive rock, with a distinct metal edge where influences by bands such as 3RD AND THE MORTAL, PINK FLOYD, PORCUPINE TREE, TOOL and ANATHEMA can be found. The line-up of THE AURORA PROJECT has not changed.
THE AURORA PROJECT is Dennis Binnekade (vocals), Remco van den Berg (lead guitar), Joris Bol (drums), Marcel Guyt (keyboards), Marc Vooijs (guitar) and Rob Krijgsman (bass).
In April 2005, the band signed with the Dutch record company DVS Records. Their first album, "Unspoken Words" was released worldwide in September 2005. The album is produced and mixed by Arno Dreef and mastered by Sander van der Heide (e.g. WITHIN TEMPTATION, GUANO APES).
"Unspoken Words" - The concept album "Unspoken Words" describes a spiritual journey, based on an essay by guitarist Marc Vooijs, which centres around the statement "I feel, so I exist." Every effort has been made to emphasize this concept: deep synth-lines, a "storyteller" and an entire choir are all featured on this album. Visually, the concept is strengthened with self-produced artwork, multimedia software (the CD contains a "game" which links to the band's website) and VJ-projections at live gigs.
This album contains no booklet.
