Augury is a Canadian progressive death metal outfit known for their intricately crafted songs, which often blend the frenetic energy of death metal with the complexity of progressive structures and the melodicism of classical music influences. Originating from Montreal, Quebec, the band formed in the early 2000s, quickly establishing a reputation for their technically demanding compositions and philosophical lyrics that ponder existential themes.

The band has a select but potent discography with their most recent work, "Illusive Golden Age" (2018), widely regarded as a triumphant return after a near-decade hiatus following the release of "Fragmentary Evidence" in 2009. They are also known for their earlier works, like "Mater Dolorosa" and "Carrion Tide," which appeared in the form of demos and helped to cement their status in the progressive death metal community. With their sophisticated amalgamation of extreme metal and progressive elements, Augury has carved out a distinct niche in the metal world, appealing to fans of technically proficient music that refuses to shy away from depth and nuance. Their musical journey is marked by line-up changes, but the constant has been the relentless pursuit of merging the intellectual with the visceral in metal music.
