About Me

..

Welcome!

AZRA is the new Dark Alternative/Gothic project of Jacksonville based musician, singer and songwriter, Azra Medea, (formerly of the Gothic/Progressive duo Alucarda.) This band includes Robert J. Pollum, of S.R. i. fame, as well as guitarist Harvey Drury Hampton of "the Saddest thing..." It was Max Michaels, who first introduced Azra to Rob at the Factory and the rest is history... After ten years of searching Azra Medea has finally found the counterparts to bring her project to life!
Combining Azra's rare lyrical and uniquely powerful vocal talents with the unlikely elements of grunge metal, progressive rock, dark, moody, powerful electronic musical styling, along with a complete disregard for the rules of traditional song creation, AZRA is unlike anything we have heard to date.
Available soon, AZRA's upcoming CD "DANTE'S BRIDE," delivers a variety of songs that fall appropriately under the very eclectic umbrella of the Dark Alternative genre. AZRA is currently in the studio working hard on their next upcoming full length CD, entitled "ARISEN."
It was on Wednesday, March 8, 1995 Live at the gone but not forgotten Club 5 that Azra Medea took the stage by storm in what was to become Alucarda's most memorable performance. Today, Azra Medea has come full circle, and is ready to share her music and her mystery with the world, once again!
