ALTURA is a North Carolina band consisting of Jeremy Osbourne (bass), Franklin Ervin (guitar), Chad Gibson (drums & percussion), Jason Lingle (keyboards & vocals) and Rain Irving (vocals). They played local clubs in the early 90's, gathering a loyal fan base. A 5-song demo recorded in 1995 got the attention of Magna Carta's producer Robert Berry, who brought them together in his California studio and produced their first album in 1996. For some reason, however, the band then vanished from the proverbial prog scene, never to be seen again.
