Album Review: Aura by Brutality & Nuron
If you’ve ever wondered what it would sound like if a French robot got into a fistfight with a rave, then congratulations—you’re ready for Aura, the 2016 Techno-Electronic banger from Brutality & Nuron. Released under the label Invaders & Science, this Hardstyle masterpiece is less of an album and more of an adrenaline shot to your eardrums. And hey, it’s from France, so you know they didn’t just throw this together after a croissant-fueled brainstorming session.
Let’s dive into two tracks that’ll stick in your brain like gum on a sneaker. First up, obviously, is the title track “Aura.” This thing hits harder than your ex’s new Instagram captions. The drop? Chef’s kiss. It’s got that classic Hardstyle punch but layered with these eerie synths that feel like someone whispering secrets in your ear at 3 a.m. You don’t know whether to dance or check behind you for ghosts. Either way, it’s unforgettable.
Then there’s another standout (we won’t spoil all the fun—go listen yourself), where the duo flexes their knack for turning chaos into catchy beats. Imagine being chased through a neon-lit forest by laser-wielding wolves. Yeah, it’s wild like that. The bassline growls, the melody stabs, and somehow, it still feels smooth enough to vibe to. It’s not just music; it’s an experience.
What makes Aura special isn’t just its genre-bending brilliance—it’s how unapologetically raw it feels. There’s no overthinking here, no desperate attempt to be trendy. Instead, Brutality & Nuron deliver something refreshingly honest, like they’re daring you to keep up.
So yeah, give Aura a spin if you’re tired of playlists that sound like background noise for yoga class. Just don’t blame me when your neighbors start complaining about the “thumping.” Final thought? If aliens ever invade Earth, I hope they bring Brutality & Nuron along as their DJ crew. That’d make surrendering almost worth it.
