Augury

The Profile

Augury is a Canadian progressive/technical death metal band from Montreal, formed in 2001. Renowned for complex arrangements and diverse vocal approaches, their key releases include Concealed (2004), Fragmentary Evidence (2009), and Illusive Golden Age (2018).

Concealed (2004) blends aggression and melody with varied vocals (growls, screams, clean, female, choral). Étienne Gallo (ex‑Neuraxis, Negativa) is noted for creative, high‑speed drumming; Dominic Lapointe (ex‑Quo Vadis) delivers prominent, soloing bass lines. Production on Concealed foregrounds the bass.

One ecstatic review celebrates Augury’s 2004 debut Concealed as a progressive/technical death metal masterpiece. It praises extreme stylistic range, vocal variety, and top-tier musicianship—especially drums and bass. The album is lauded for innovation, melody within aggression, and seamless genre fusion, earning a perfect score.
