Galy Recs own metalcore act Disphoria will share the stage with Bleeding Through on February 9th in Paris!
Here are some quotes taken from reviews of their album Sleep and Fly Away…
7/10 Decibel
17/20 Violent Solutions
Slipping and slamming into thrash grooves and speed games that recall harsher Shadows Fall and more malevolent Disfear. - David Perri
Disphoria is certainly an accomplished addition to the canon of underground metalcore and worth it for fans of said genre to check them out. - FishComCollective
Intensity pushed to the max! - Darkest Hours
When this band plays heavy, they're one of the most crushing metalcore outfits I've ever heard. Even their use of melody is appropriate and effective. - Into Obscurity

AUGURY news:
The band will be part of the Northern Lights Festival 2005 alongside label mate Unexpect, headliner Impaled Nazarene and seven other bands. For more info:

Here are some quotes taken from reviews of their debut album Concealed:
7/10 BW&BK
9/10 Terrorizer
5.5/6 Metallian
8/10 Unrestrained!
88% Darkest Hours
10/10 Ontario Metal
8.5/10 Metal Observer
18/20 Violent Solutions
10/10 Ottawa Metal
Once again, the province of Quebec, Canada has given us another lesson in metal. It doesn't matter what style of extreme metal you're talking about, you can name a band from this region as a top example of it. Augury are no exception... "Concealed" is as intelligent as extreme metal gets. - Into Obscurity
This certainly is as melodic as it is heavy. - FishComCollective
Fans of extreme metal will fall in love at first listen if they love complexity, weird structures and beautiful melodies mixed up with powerfull brutality! - 88% Darkest Hours
Concealed has so much to offer with each spin. An enjoyable journey into metal for sure.
- 8/10 Unrestrained!
This has quite easily topped all others as my best CD of 2004. Incredibly unique and it features an amazing innovativeness that you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere.
- 10/10 Ontario Metal
Taking symphonic and technical death metal to epic proportions, "Concealed" leverages Augury's inherent progressive leanings into one of the year's most thorough, well-choreographed blends of black, death, and folk metal melody. - Uranium Music
