After 28 years since its formation in 1993, Twilight Aura is back to continue the project that had to be put on hold in the late 1990s. Previously known simply as Twilight , the band did not register the name at the time of its formation, unable to foresee the homonymous phenomenon that would arrive in the 2000s. Thus, the word "aura" was added for its return.
The resumption of activities comes with a new addition to the lineup. In addition to guitarist André Bastos ( Angra and Skyscraper ), Rodolfo Elsas , Filipe Guerra ( Skyscraper, Wizards, Preacher and Revenge ), Leo Loebenderg and Claudio Reis , vocalist Daísa Munhoz ( Souspell and Vandroya ) joins to add her skill and experience to Twilight Aura.
According to TRM Press, Daísa reportedly said about the invitation: “I fell in love with the music, with the themes of the lyrics; an immediate connection happened there. For me, it is a great honor to be the voice that will tell this beautiful story of a band with more than 27 years of history.”
For their comeback, Twilight Aura released the single “Watching The Sky,” which received an official music video directed and edited by Anderson Bellini , director of the documentary Andre Matos – Maestro do Rock. The song is part of the band's first album, which is expected to be released later this year.
“Watching the Sky” was originally composed in 1992 and gained a new chorus in 1996, which was retained in the new recording. Regarding the song, André Bastos ( who recently made a special appearance at VIPER DAY ) said: “The choice of this song was due to the following factors: it's a song with a strong chorus, a not-too-fast tempo, and the right balance between heaviness and melody. The lyrics positively address the moment when we have to solve problems and are looking for answers. If we stop and observe the sky, we can often reach a state of balance that helps us find the long-awaited answer.”
